5th over: New Zealand 27-1 (Gaze 15, Kerr 5) Ecclestone is on the money, five dots ties down Amelia Kerr. The batter paddles the final ball away fine for four but its a cheap over for England and a thrifty start from their wily left arm spinner.

4th over: New Zealand 23-1 (Gaze 15, Kerr 1) Magnificent batting from Izzy Gaze. She laps Wong over Amy Jones’s head behind the stumps for four and then follows up with a blistering drive over long on for SIX! Charlie Dean is summoning Sophie Ecclestone.
