Charlie Dean, who took four wickets in the fourth T2oI, strikes with her fifth ball. Suzie Bates came down the track and dragged straight to mid-on, where Dani Gibson took a comfortable catch. That’s a hammer blow for New Zealand.

An early wicket for England. Nat Sciver-Brunt, who almost bowled Suzie Bates with the first ball of the match, has Bernadine Bezuidenhout caught behind later in the over. Bezuidenhout tried to cut a ball that cramped her for room and took a thin edge through to Amy Jones. The end.

important events
10 overs: New Zealand 50-4 (Green 8, Halliday 10) Filer returns to attack. She troubled all batsmen today with an average speed of 114mph and almost took a well-deserved wicket on the last ball of the over. Green, who was out of pace, looped the ball tantalizingly at her offside. Filer ran across and dove forward, but couldn’t quite reach it.
9 overs: New Zealand 46-4 (Green 7, Halliday 8) Halliday, who started out as a busy authority, drives Ecclestone for the couple. Green then gets the first boundary of this partnership with a seemingly well-timed break through cover.
8 overs: New Zealand 37-4 (Green 1, Halliday 5) Dani Gibson took two catches in the over and then went into attack. It ended quietly and was wisely milked for five runs. Now is not the time to go after big shots.
7 overs: New Zealand 32-4 (Green 0, Halliday 1)
Wicket! New Zealand 31-4 (Primer C Gibson B Ecclestone 12)
England is rioting. Sophie Ecclestone, who came on in place of Nat Silver Blunt, saw the wicket of Charlie Dean’s number five ball and batted second to raise the ball. Primmer came down the track with more hope than hope and picked Gibson deep at mid-on.
6 overs: New Zealand 29-3 (Bates 10, Green 0) This ended England’s excellent powerplay, their best in the entire series.
Wicket! New Zealand 29-3 (Bates C Gibson B Dean 11)
Charlie Dean, who took four wickets in the fourth T2oI, struck on the fifth ball. Susie Bates pulled it down the track and straight to mid-on, where it was comfortably caught by Dani Gibson. This is a real blow to New Zealand.

The single was the only run from Shiver-Brant, who has a record of 3-0, 7 minutes and 2 seconds, off another great over. She might be better off bowling straight.
4 overs: New Zealand 21-2 (Bates 10, Plimmer 3) Filer’s no-ball means a free hit for New Zealand, but Bates can only hit a single with his club over the bowler’s head.
Primer doesn’t seem very comfortable with Filer. She gets hit, gets a few slices on her cover, then has a short ball on her body. Bates opted for the more aggressive option, charging down the track for four and two consecutive deliveries.
3 overs: New Zealand 10-2 (Bates 3, Plimmer 0) Heather Knight said she would have bowled first had she won the toss. You can see why. The new ball is looking a bit better and England have made a great start.
Wicket! New Zealand 10-2 (A Carr c Capsey b Siver Brunt 5)
Two Nat Silver-Blunt. Amelia Kerr got caught at the crease and mistimed her lofted straight drive high into the air as Amy Jones approached her stumps. Alice Capsey ran around from midfield and caught comfortably.
2 overs: New Zealand 9-1 (Bates 2, A Kerr 5) Lauren Filer shares her new ball. Her extra pace requires a little adjustment. After missing a few attacking strokes outside the off-stump, Kerr sets up a ramp for four. Filer’s great over ended with a big inswinger that Kerr inside edged into his pads.
1st over: New Zealand 5-1 (Bates 2, A Kerr 1) Captain Amelia Kerr will be the new batsman.
Wicket! New Zealand 4-1 (Bezuidenhout c Jones B Siverbrand 1)
Early wicket for England. Nat Silver-Brant, who almost bowled Susie Bates with the first ball of the match, was caught by Bernadine Bezuidenhout in the second half of the over. Bezuidenhout tried to cut the ball but was cramped for space and sent a narrow edge through to Amy Jones. end.
