- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.4 Slices a full ball to mid-off Bates came down the track and tried to loft it over mid-on but it took the bottom of the bat and ballooned up to Beaumont who took it well as she moved to her left 61/139.5 Clubbed straight to long-on It was a length ball on the stumps, the cutter was hit hard but she could only go as far as the tumbling long-on who took it with fingers pointing to the sky 160/722.5 Top edges a sweep to short fine-leg It was full and not full enough for Kerr, who got the upper splice of the bat as she swept with the full range of motion. She may have been a bit too early on the shot, Shrubsole is throwing the ball around like a happy child. Kerr loses her wicket in the attempt to give the innings impetus 96/230.3 Nothing detected on Ultra-Edge as the ball went past the missed sweep. Hawk-Eye says it's pitching in line, the impact is in line, and it's umpire's call on hitting so Amy has to go. It came in slightly after pitching and the ball was predicted to be a bail-trimmer between middle and leg stump 134/332.5 Run-out at the striker's end It was a full ball outside off pushed to cover. They took off for a run that was impractical to say the least. Halliday was not even ready to slide the bat down when the bails were whipped off 137/437.3 No edge, the length ball pitched outside off, the impact was in line, it's hitting on the wickets. The decision stands. Martin looked to have gone a bit too far down. That would never have been given pre-DRS. Cross doesn't have a worry in the world as she celebrates 150/538.2 Knight plucks a one-handed stunner to her right at cover! It was full outside off, Tahuhu slashed hard and the ball was travelling. The skipper leapt and the ball stuck to her delight and that of her teamamtes 155/640.1 It was full on the stumps, looks like it hit the pad first. It's pitching outside off, the impact is in-line, and is smashing the stumps. The decision is overturned and Mackay walks back. Knight's midas touch continues, credit must go to Sophie who persuaded the skipper. It looked close but could have gone either way 161/844.5 Caught behind, faint edge goes to the keeper as the batter tried to guide it to third man It was on a full length, Rowe stayed on the backfoot and tried to help it on its way but got the edge. Muted celebrations from the bowler as the keeper cheers 184/948.5 Fullish ball on the stumps, flicked to the deep in front of square. The non-striker runs in for the second, went down too far. She's sent back, the throw came in quick to the bowler's end and Kerr is run-out 203/10Extras12 (lb 5, w 7)TOTAL203 all out (48.5 Overs, RR: 4.15)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Suzie Bates, 11.4 ov), 1-67* (Sophie Devine, retired not out ), 2-96 (Amelia Kerr, 22.5 ov), 3-134 (Amy Satterthwaite, 30.3 ov), 4-137 (Brooke Halliday, 32.5 ov), 5-150 (Katey Martin, 37.3 ov), 6-155 (Lea Tahuhu, 38.2 ov), 7-160 (Sophie Devine, 39.5 ov), 8-161 (Frances Mackay, 40.1 ov), 9-184 (Hannah Rowe, 44.5 ov), 10-203 (Jess Kerr, 48.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 Tahuhu roars. A double fist-pump to celebrate. Straight through Beaumont, whose bat comes down late and the ball sneaks through. Off-cutter on the stumps, cuts in and goes through the bat and pad gap. A record-breaking wicket for Tahuhu and New Zealand badly needed that 53/22.5 Fine catch that. Wyatt goes early again, New Zealand needed that. Full outside off, Wyatt slices the lofted drive, it looks to be clearing Rowe at mid-off who is backtracking, but she stretches her arms and the ball pops up off her left hand, she keeps her composure to take the rebound. That's Rowe using her full height to good effect. Big celebrations from New Zealand for they know the importance of the wicket. Wyatt was looking dangerous early on 17/122.5 the reverse sweep from Knight and she misses, went low to play it and it struck her in line and was turning, but enough to clip the stumps. The onfield call was out and it stays out despite a review - which England retain. Timely wicket for New Zealand 98/343.2 Sciver is gone. Scrambled seam from Jess Kerr, Sciver backs away to cut but misses, the ball hits the top of middle. New Zealand still in this 187/626.1 Halliday comes on and takes a wicket first-ball. Full-toss on the stumps, Jones flicks straight to mid-wicket. That is a soft dismissal. New Zealand back in it after that wicket 106/440.4 clean bowled. Mackay punches the air in delight. Ripping offie, tossed up and slides past the outside-edge as Dunkley gets forward to block, hits the top of off. An opening for New Zealand? 176/545.2 gone! Similar to Buttler running out Guptill in the 2019 CWC. What drama. There was never a second there and this is harakiri from England. Pulled to deep mid-wicket, for some reason Brunt wants two but is slow to get back, the throw is wide of the stumps but Martin gets it back onto the stumps, the dive isn't good enough. Why take that second? New Zealand go wild 196/944.2 dragged down. New Zealand have hope yet. Short and wide outside off, Ecclestone inside-edges the pull back on. Late drama here at Eden Park, Auckland 192/744.5 Given out LBW and Cross reviews. Drama here. Tense faces in the England camp. Devine has not sat down at all too. No bat and this looks out. Gone even though the impact is umpire's call. Going onto hit the stumps and Cross has to go. Trapped on the back foot as she plays down the wrong line to be hit in line with off. Skids off the pitch to beat her on the outside-edge 194/8Extras15 (b 4, w 11)TOTAL204/9 (47.2 Overs, RR: 4.3)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 2.5 ov), 2-53 (Tammy Beaumont, 9.6 ov), 3-98 (Heather Knight, 22.5 ov), 4-106 (Amy Jones, 26.1 ov), 5-176 (Sophia Dunkley, 40.4 ov), 6-187 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 43.2 ov), 7-192 (Sophie Ecclestone, 44.2 ov), 8-194 (Kate Cross, 44.5 ov), 9-196 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 45.2 ov)
