  1. England 156-6 off drinks

    Target 211

    Stand-in England skipper Charlie Dean starts well.

    She uses the angle and pace of left-arm seamer Bree Illing to pick up runs off the back foot and front foot.

    England need some clam heads. They need 55 off 96 balls

    Big swing in WinViz with that Dani Gibson wicket. England were cruising at 75% on WinViz with that Bouchier-Gibson partnership. With six down now, the game is almost at parity with England at 56% and New Zealand 44%.

  3. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    We know the way Dani Gibson wants to play. She'll be disappointed in herself but it's been smart bowling and it's worked a treat.

    WICKET

    Gibson c Illing b A Kerr 19 (Eng 149-6)

    Dani Gibson rather gives her wicket away.

    She dances down and slashes at a wide one from Amelia Kerr which flies behind to backward point where Bree Illing takes a fine catch over her shoulder.

    New Zealand's players celebrate.

  5. Eng 149-5

    One for the purists, Mark.

    Dani Gibson chips Amelia Kerr over the top and the ball rolls towards the boundary.

    Rosemary Mair scoops it back from the rope and, after a lengthy check by the third umpire, it's deemed three rather than four.

    This is hard watching, as glacial as the weather. Admittedly the track is pretty ordinary but both sides look desperately short of real any quality.

  7. 50 runs

    Fifty for Bouchier

    Maia Bouchier nudges Amelia Kerr into the leg side - it squirts through the grasp of the fielder at mid-wicket and the England batter has a half-century.

  8. Srinivas Vijaykumar
    CricViz analyst

    Maia Bouchier has taken the attack to New Zealand's key bowler, Melie Kerr. She's scored 22 (17) against the leg-spinner facing only five dot balls. On the other hand, against the more dangerous Rosemary Mair today, she's been far more circumspect scoring 12 (20) with 10 dot balls.

  9. Eng 143-5

    Target 211

    The crowd think Maia Bouchier has reached her half-century off Jess Kerr but it's chalked down as a leg bye, prompting the England batter to smirk.

    Dani Gibson pinches the strike with a nudge down the ground.

  10. Eng 140-5

    Amelia Kerr tosses one up to tempt Dani Gibson who dances down the pitch and inside edges it past leg stump.

    A shot fraught with risk for Gibson.

    Maia Bouchier, unbeaten on 49, blocks out a couple of dot balls to finish the over.

  11. Eng 134-5

    Dani Gibson smartly rotating the strike with Maia Bouchier during Rosemary Mair's latest over.

    Gibson finishes the over with a superb late cut to thread a wide delivery from Mair behind point for four.

    Valuable runs.

  12. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This is just the way Dani Gibson needs to play. Not recklessly but she has to play her natural aggressive way

  13. Eng 125-5

    Flamboyant strokeplay from Dani Gibson.

    The England batter uses her feet and chips Amelia Kerr over cover for four.

    Nicely done.

  14. Eng 118-5

    Target 211

    A bit of a daft shot from Amy Jones so early in her innings.

    She was driving on pitch where it the ball staying low with her head over balancing.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Jones c J Kerr b Mair 3 (Eng 115-5)

    The sun is cracking the flags at Chester-le-Street as we head towards tea time.

    But Amy Jones will not be out there enjoying it.

    She tamely chips a drive off Rosemary Mair to Jess Kerr at cover and is on her way back to the pavilion.

    England are wobbling a little bit here.

  16. Eng 114-4

    England wicketkeeper Amy Jones is the new batter.

    She makes a confident start against Nensi Patel, guiding into the gap for two and sweeping for a single.

  17. Lea Tahuhu
    New Zealand international on Test Match Special

    That's a real bonus for New Zealand there. You're not planning to get a wicket that way but you're certainly taking it when it comes.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Kemp run out (Mair) 30 (Eng 110-4)

    No is the answer.

    Rosemary Mair managed to get a little finger on it.

    Freya Kemp pulls up the strap on her helmet and chews on it in frustration as she trudges off the field.

  19. Umpire review

    Maia Bouchier drills one low back towards the stumps and Rosemary Mair thinks she has got a digit on it.

    New Zealand appeal.

    Has Freya Kemp got her bat behind the line?

  20. Emily Windsor
    Durham batter on Test Match Special

    Freya Kemp has really matured as a batter, she's played some really good domestic innings.
