important events
15 overs: New Zealand 100-2 (Kerr 25, Devine 26) Gibson returns to attack in place of Dean. Kerr went low at the crease and played a full ball over Amy Jones, who got away nicely with a couple. Gibson found the blue line with a full yorker and narrowly avoided going wide. Full on pace, Kerr drives to the offside twice but the sweeper does the job. A decent platform was set for the home team at the time, but it feels like they need to be a gangbuster in the final five to set up a competitive total.
14 overs: New Zealand 92-2 (Kerr 18, Devine 26) Heather Knight goes on to sew something neat again. Five singles came off, but New Zealand could not find the fence.
13th over: New Zealand 87-2 (Kerr 15, Devine 24) Charlie Dean was hit on the leg side and the batsman made a good decision to get two runs back. shot! Divine opens his shoulders and drives four-man on the ground. New Zealand are looking to get some wickets and put pressure on them.
12 overs: New Zealand 77-2 (Kerr 15, Devine 14) Heather Knight has the ball in her hands. “If you need a job…” Six more to go, but only six. Kerr and Devine prefer to hit the ball and find boundaries, but are England-bound at the moment.
11 overs: New Zealand 71-2 (Kerr 13, Devine 10) Lindsey Smith returns to the attack and each ball is picked for a single. Both sides size each other up and have/will give something.
10 overs: New Zealand 65-2 (Kerr 10, Devine 7) Midway through the inning, Devine got four off the cover, and Kerr was content to hit the gap and get a single. There is honor even after 10 o’clock.
Wicket! Bezuidenhout C Heath B Gibson 34 (New Zealand 55-2)
Slowing down Gibson’s pace, Bezuidenhout takes a simple catch to mid-off. Both England openers are back in the hatches.
9 overs: New Zealand 57-2 (Kerr 8, Devine 1) Skipper Devine was a new batsman and although he got off to a decent start, the team was wobbling slightly. She was off the mark from the first pitch.
8 overs: New Zealand 54-1 (Bezuidenhout 34, Kerr 6) Lindsay Smith had six successful singles and 50 singles for New Zealand. I’m a little late, but Coogan is done Something happened!
7 overs: New Zealand 48-1 (Bezuidenhout 30, Kerr 4) There, Sarah Glen atoned for her fall in the previous over by picking up England’s first wicket. Amelia Kerr is the new batter and her first ball is square leg for 4!
Wicket! Susie Bates st A Jones B Glen 14 (New Zealand 44-1)
England’s first scalp! Susie Bates trots down the crease toward Sarah Glen, getting a breath of fresh air as she emerges from the ground. Amy Jones collects and strips her bail money.
6 overs: New Zealand 40-0 (Bezuidenhout 29, Bates 11) Drop it! Charlie Dean is one in, Bezuidenhout chips it to Glen at mid-off and the catch is spilled! Higher than head height, but an easy enough chance. The batter runs at breakneck speed. Off to New Zealand and a slow start in the UK. The power play is over, spoiler for the home team for now.
5 overs: New Zealand 35-0 (Bezuidenhout 26, Bates 9) Lindsey Smith got buy-in from Knight, but struggles with line and length. Bezuidenhout has no intention of missing out and hits the full ball for four before bunting over the covers for another boundary. White Cedarizing.

4 overs: New Zealand 23-0 (Bezuidenhout 11, Bates 3) Charlie Dean joins the attack and her first over is as clean as you want – just Bezuidenhout sweeping it away while Bates blocks the rest.
3rd over: New Zealand 22-0 (Bezuidenhout 15, Bates 7) shot! Susie Bates jumped down the field and ran away with four points behind the score. Good intention and clean footwork from the opener. So far, Nelson is dominated by points and boundaries.
2 overs: New Zealand 13-0 (Bezuidenhout 10, Bates 3) Daniel Gibson shares his new ball. Bezuidenhout faced a three-goal deficit and then scored four more points. Gentle ripples run across the ground. Watching cricket in New Zealand really does seem very civilized. Seven overs, a proper start from the home side.
1st over: New Zealand 6-0 (Bezuidenhout 5, Bates 1) Lauren Bell started for England with the new white ball. Susie Bates took the first pitch off the mark, giving Bernadine Bezuidenhout a strike…and this was the first four pitches, a full ball timed towards the fence. Singles give us a 6 point difference.
Sorry for the delay in updating. *factor*.
The players set off into the bright Nelson sunshine. The first ball is coming…

New Zealand wins the toss and goes to bat!
james wallace
Hello. Welcome to the third T20 international between New Zealand and England from picturesque Saxton Oval in Nelson.
Heather Knight’s side lead the five-match series by two points after securing 15-run and 27-run wins in the first few matches and are looking to clinch the series with another win here today. Become.
White Ferns captain Sophie Devine spoke very well in a candid chat before the series. ESPNcricinfo’s Powerplay Podcast About where New Zealand women’s cricket stands after several years of the pros and cons of the national team, and the ever-present juggler of franchises and international opportunities and schedules.
“When you talk to female athletes coming up, it’s certainly a selling point…Cricket is a very attractive career option because we don’t necessarily have a lot of cricket players in New Zealand. I think we need a bit of reality and a bit of foresight that there are very big plans going on behind the scenes, but it’s going to take time. If we can continue, I think we can definitely play against the best teams.”
In order to keep the series alive, her team needs to step up its game today and get on the board with a win.
Join us from 12:00 AM GMT / 1:00 PM local time Neat for the action and for the team and toss before that. I’m going to take my tank of midnight oil and light it up here and maybe sip on something stronger. As always, please contact us if you would like to tune in. I cannot sail this ship alone.Well, I can but You know, forget it..
