    WICKET

    Jones c A Kerr b Patel 17 (Eng 36-1)

    But Patel responds!

    Amy Jones tries to take down the spinner by hitting down the ground, but plinks it straight to Melie Kerr at mid-off.

  2. Missed stumping

    Oh, New Zealand can't afford these.

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge skips down the pitch to Nensi Patel, misses completely, but Izzy Gaze fumbles it. She would've been out by a mile and gets a life on 13.

    England have found different matchwinners from their batting order in every game of this tournament so far.

  4. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    This is what we feared would happen to New Zealand when they chose to bat first - The Oval is a fast pitch, it quickens up under the lights and if you have a quick bowler who is wayward, they get hit for runs.

  5. Eng 31-0

    Target 164

    Poor bowling.

    Wide outside the off stump, another freebie for Amy Jones to put away.

  6. Eng 27-0

    Amy Jones joins the party!

    She pulls a short ball for four, followed by a sweetly-timed drive for the same result.

    England are on the charge.

  7. Eng 19-0

    Target 164

    From pure timing to pure power.

    A second boundary in the over for Wyatt-Hodge, this one thumped up and over cover in her trademark style.

  8. Annesha Ghosh
    India cricket journalist on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge is in a marauding mood once again, setting the tone.

  9. Eng 13-0

    Glorious shot from Danni Wyatt-Hodge to bring England's first boundary.

    She makes a bit of room for herself and punches off the back foot, perfectly dissecting point and cover.

  10. Eng 8-0

    Target 164

    Five wides.

    That is not ideal for New Zealand.

  11. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I've been really impressed with Bree Illing both in this tournament and the matches preceding this tour. She's been a real standout performer for me.

  12. Eng 1-0

    Amy Jones nudges the first ball for a single into the leg side and England are up and running.

  13. DevineGetty Images

    Amy Jones and Danni Wyatt-Hodge stride to the middle with the floodlights beaming down on The Oval.

    164 the target...

    Mark J: Can you please explain what England need to do in order to win the group even if they lose this game? Kinda conscious of avoiding Australia if possible...

    England will only face Australia if India beat them by quite a big margin tomorrow to overtake them on net run-rate.

    England make breakthrough with three wickets in four balls

    I feel like New Zealand are 10-15 runs short. England picking up three wickets for no runs changed the momentum, and then the quick wickets of Halliday and Devine.

    If you're batting first, you want to get 170 plus. England dragged it back brilliantly.

  17. Thanks, Matt.

    England have only chased once so far in this tournament but it was only 118 against Ireland, so this should be a good challenge for them and a welcome one as they approach the semis.

  18. So England need 164 to keep this winning run going at their home World Cup.

    Ffion Wynne will take you through England's chase...

  19. Katey Martin
    Former New Zealand wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I don't understand why that wasn't called a wide.

    WICKET

    Bates run out Jones 19 (NZ 163-6)

    All going on. Suzie Bates is run out trying to steal a bye form the last.

    New Zealand think it should be been called a wide. Nothing doing.
