Bree Illing is the quickest left-arm opener in Women's T20Is since such records began.
With an average speed of 71 mph, this has eclipsed Katie George who clocked an average of 68 mph when she bowled with the new ball for England back in 2018.

Graham Dodd, Newbury
All the usual problems with England’s fielding and death bowling come to a head when the pressure’s on.

Alice Capsey, who only faced one of England's first 15 deliveries, gets off the mark as England's openers exchange singles.
Sophia Dunkley then adds her fourth four, sending a thick edge over short third.
Katey Martin
Former New Zealand wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
The difference between England and New Zealand is the the English batters have that ability to drop their hands and run singles.
Four more down the ground for Sophia Dunkley!
She strikes Bree Illing cleanly down the ground - the right-hander has scored all bar one of England's runs thus far, with a wide accounting for the outlier.

And now the first six of the innings!
Sophie Dunkley lofts Jess Kerr's delivery over the ropes at mid-wicket.
She concludes the over with a quick single to retain the strike.

Image source, Getty ImagesSophia Dunkley made a little bit of a slow start but now she's going for it. Back-to-back boundaries.
Nicely done, Sophia Dunkley!
She cuts Jess Kerr's first ball into the ground and it flies away for four past point.
The England opener follows that by smacking the ball over the covers for consecutive boundaries.

Highest Partnership v England in Women's T20Is:
Target 171
Off we go then.
Bree Illing starts by swinging a wide down the leg side, but follows that up by sending down four dot balls to Sophia Dunkley.
Dunkley gets going with a single to mid-off, which brings Alice Capsey, who scored a superb 74 not out in the first T20, on strike.
She fends off the final delivery of the over.

Sophie Devine and Maddy Green have registered a record breaking partnership after a very poor start. Their 159 stand ended up as New Zealand's joint-third highest in T20Is.
Highest Partnership for New Zealand in Women's T20Is:
Thank you kindly, Tim.
An interesting little chase in the offing here - New Zealand are already in a huddle out by the boundary rope and England's openers are heading out to the middle.
We're about to get going again in the Canterbury sunshine.

New Zealand finish on 170-5. They will pretty pleased with that total after being 11-4.
England will still fancy their chances, though Mike Peter is on hand to talk you through the chase.

England have been on top of this game and if you said they are chasing 171, they'd back themselves, but it is just about the momentum and that is with New Zealand.
Devine run out (Bouchier/Jones) 87 (NZ 170-5)
Sophie Devine looking for a rather ambitious second run off the final delivery of the over and is run out.
Maia Bouchier fields cleanly to get the ball to England wicketekeeper Amy Jones.
Linsey Smith roars in frustration after Sophie Devine uses those strong wrists of hers to hoick the England spinner over cow corner for six.
Linsey Smith, the pick of England's attack, with the final over.
Sophie Devine mistimes a drive skywards but Maia Bouchier spills it at deep mid-off.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on Test Match Special
This final over is going to go one way or the other for Linsey Smith and England.
This is going to make or break her figures.

The usual argument, England might well have been satisfied with a target of 160-180 before a ball was bowled, but not so much after they had New Zealand at 11-4.
