  1. NZ 163-5

    Dani Gibson eats up the grass at mid-wicket and hurls in a powerful throw but cannot stop the second.

  2. NZ 161-5

    Bell will be pleased with this final over so far...

  3. NZ 160-5

    A good response from Bell, who surprises Suzie Bates with a quick bouncer.

    Maddy Green could and should have hit that into any of the stands.

  5. NZ 160-5

    Maddy Green is annoyed to have only got a single from a looping slower ball.

  6. NZ 159-5

    Lauren Bell has picked herself up off the turf to bowl the last.

  7. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Lauren Bell has all the height and all the reach. If she couldn't get there, nobody could.

  8. dropped catch

    NZ 158-5

    Can you call this a drop? It would be very harsh on Lauren Bell. She leaps one-handed at short fine leg but cannot cling on to Maddy Green's scoop.

    One over to go.

  9. Not out

    As I feared. It was hitting a decent chunk of leg stump but not enough.

  10. It might be hitting leg stump but surely only umpire's call at best.

  11. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    I think Charlie Dean is just hoping they might burgle one here.

  12. England review

    After a lot of pleading from Sophie Ecclestone, England have called for a review against Suzie Bates for lbw.

    Suzie Bates played age-group tennis for New Zealand and you can really see that when she plays those shots behind square.

  14. NZ 148-5

    Two sweeps, one conventional and another reverse, from Suzie Bates as she plays the hits, possibly for the final time.

    She's standing a good yard outside off stump and is moving further across with Freya Kemp trying to force her to hit through the off side.

    Bates still finds a way to hit another four to end the over. England are going to have a tester of a chase here.

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

    It's so difficult to judge there at short fine leg, you don't have much time to read how quickly the ball is coming towards you. It's just jammed Sophia Dunkley's fingers into the ground.

  16. dropped catch

    NZ 135-5

    Sophia Dunkley is having to go off after a blow to her finger. She tried to swoop low at short fine leg but I am not sure the ball carried.

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

    It seems like Suzie Bates has become so much more nervous the later she's got into her career, whereas it seems to have had the opposite effect on Sophie Devine and freed her up.

  18. NZ 133-5

    Freya Kemp sniffs a chance at the end of Linsey Smith's final over but just can't get there in the deep before ball hits grass.

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

    England's planning and execution was brilliant to create Devine's wicket. They changed the field and forced her to change her approach.

  20. NZ 128-5

    That wicket brings out Suzie Bates, another who will be playing their final international if New Zealand lose.

    With two wickets in the over, England are right back on top again.
