    1.3 nicks her off! This one goes on with the arm, audible edge through to the keeper and Sue Redfern's finger goes straight up. Lamb looks doubtful but not enough to burn a review. Clear squiggle on UltraEdge as she heads for the dressing room 7/1
    10.5 Mair finds the edge, grabbed by the diving Gaze! Grewcock lingers to see if it was cleanly held, but it was some fine glovework, holding the ball up from the ground in her left mitt. NZ have been probing in that channel and Grewcock finally succumbs when looking to drive 47/2
    15.1 pushed across the bows, Knight dangles her bat and is gone! NZ were in the process of reviewing and Knight seemingly walked... although she is now hanging around in the rain to see what the third umpire says. There was a clear noise, and UltraEdge picks up a spike, so Anna Harris tells Sue Redfern to change her decision. Big wicket before what looks like a certain delay in proceedings (which will mean overs lost and DLS coming into play) 66/3
    25.3 floppy slap to cover! That's a poor end to a fine knock... Capsey telegraphed her charge to the pitch, Mair saw her coming, adjusted her pace and length, a tweaker into the pitch outside off, and it's a plopped chance straight to Izzy Sharp, high on the blade ... England losing their way all of a sudden 125/5
    24.5 goes for the launch down-town... Mair clings on at long-on! A legbreak this time, Kemp gave herself room as she galloped out of her crease, but didn't get the connection, and it's a smart tumbling take, well judged running in 123/4
    26.3 ping, next batter please! Wicket-to-wicket line from Patel, Gibson slides back and towards leg, trying to make something of nothing, and instead exposes her stumps and loses the top of middle! 127/6
    32.1 steps across to the off-side, tries to lift a sweep from outside off over the leg-side, but doesn't get hold of it. Backward square steadies herself to end a very good knock 172/7

    2.6 full, straight and thundering into the pads! Given lbw and Bates won't review! Having received a life the ball before, she played around this one to be clipped on the front shin. Bates walks off to a standing ovation, for the final time in a storied ODI career. Would have clipped leg stump, umpire's call, according to Hawk-Eye 21/1
    6.1 full, pinged on the shin - given! Bell has another. Pitched up, again swinging late. Plimmer plays fatefully across the line and Sue Redfern raises her finger for a third time! No review, as Plimmer couldn't have been plumber. NZ slipping and sliding in this rather soggy run chase 40/3
    4.2 another one on a similar line, pinned in front! Melie Kerr won't be troubling the DRS operators either. Squared up and almost trapping the ball between her knees as it zipped through on middle and leg. The captain is gone cheaply and England are amongst it 27/2

    17.3 cleans her up with a nipbacker! That's a huge breakthrough with rain looming! Green stepped into the good length but had no answer to the sharp movement, back through her gate and into her middle stump! The rain break does its magic, and tips the scales again... 97/4
