- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 another appeal, and up goes the finger again! Looks on the high side to the naked eye, but very wicket-to-wicket, and Winfield-Hill reviews. It's clipping leg stump! 11/22.4 appeal for lbw, and New Zealand have reviewed. Looks like pad first, is it just outside the line? Nope, it is in line, and it is smashing the stumps! Hiding the bat a touch on the front foot, and pays the price 6/16.1 fiddles outside off, and caught behind! England are in tatters 20/314.1 pitching on middle, Jones brings the bat down a fraction late and it slides between bat and pad into the top third of middle stump, bang on target! Molly Penfold has her first international wicket and what a gem it is! 48/58.6 fullish but right on target, it glides through the forward defence, splitting the gap between bat and pad and clatters into the stumps! Another one down for England 27/416.6 struck to point, Lauren Down, diving forward, takes the ball in her right fingertips, just above the ground. What a take! 59/622.2 on a length, it stays low and she presses down tentatively, playing back onto her stumps! Lea Tahuhu has her five-for! 78/729.1 that looks plumb in front, but England review. First ball after drinks, and it's a big moment. In fact, she's not waiting as it's clearly missed the bat, pitched outside off, impact in line, thumping the stumps 101/841.3 run-out at the non-striker's end! Flicks the fingers, into the stumps, and that's a cruel way to end a mighty stand. It was firmly struck, clean back through the line. And she had to be backing up in these circumstances. Tough break 154/948.3 pinned lbw! England review, but this looks pretty adjacent. Dips into the pads, no bat involved, and there's no much to spare that. The decision stands, and the fightback is over 178/9Extras22 (lb 5, nb 3, w 14)TOTAL178 all out (48.3 Overs, RR: 3.67)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Tammy Beaumont, 2.4 ov), 2-11 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 4.2 ov), 3-20 (Heather Knight, 6.1 ov), 4-27 (Sophia Dunkley, 8.6 ov), 5-48 (Amy Jones, 14.1 ov), 6-59 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 16.6 ov), 7-78 (Charlie Dean, 22.2 ov), 8-101 (Sophie Ecclestone, 29.1 ov), 9-154 (Kate Cross, 41.3 ov), 10-178 (Tash Farrant, 48.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 keeps low, and Bates is bowled! Brunt roars in triumph, she's got the breakthrough after catching the batter in two minds on a probing length. That's the moment England needed, and Lauren Down at the non-striker's end accidentally wears the ball as it is flung away in celebration 12/16.3 chipped straight to backward point and now England are in business. Aiming through the covers, gets a leading edge and Brunt is on another mission today! 13/223.1 extra flight, Satterthwaite gets there too early... and it's straight down Ecclestone's throat! Makes no mistake this time and England have the big wicket. Took two paces back from mid-off on the edge of the circle and swallowed the chance 85/326.4 bowled through the gate as Brunt roars in celebration! Devine aims an ugly hack across the line after playing out a maiden against Brunt in her last over, but Brunt's tight line and length leaves her looking back to see her middle stump splayed back 94/437.3 knocked her over! Surely New Zealand can't mess this chase up from here?! Full and straight, angling into the left-hander from over the wicket, and Halliday plays around it, looking back to see her leg stump knocked back 146/538.4 straight through! Just full and straight, Martin playing down the wrong line as if expecting this to turn when it simply skids straight on with the angle 149/642.2 big shout for lbw and the finger goes up! Jensen reviews. Tight on the inside-edge... hard to tell if it hit bat or ball first. David Millns has his work cut out and says it is "inconclusive" with bat or pad first but that he will go through to ball-tracking because of the on-field decision... that means we go to ball-tracking, and it's smashing into middle-and-leg! 158/7Extras15 (lb 3, w 12)TOTAL181/7 (45.5 Overs, RR: 3.94)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Suzie Bates, 4.4 ov), 2-13 (Lauren Down, 6.3 ov), 3-85 (Amy Satterthwaite, 23.1 ov), 4-94 (Sophie Devine, 26.4 ov), 5-146 (Brooke Halliday, 37.3 ov), 6-149 (Katey Martin, 38.4 ov), 7-158 (Hayley Jensen, 42.2 ov)
