    Go on, just review it.

    I don't think they are going to go upstairs for it.

    Alex Hartley was nearly through the window.

  3. NZ 71-5published at 19 overs

    Target 348

    Kate Cross is on a hattrick ball that's been spread across two overs.

    It's full, hits Katey Martin on the pads but is going way down leg side. Heather Knight resists the temptation to review.

    Devine lbw Cross 3 (NZ 66-5)

    Umpire's call, clipping the stumps. Devine has to go!

    Credit has to go to Amy Jones there for the enthusiasm of that appeal because nobody else was that fussed.

    New Zealand have just got to try and bat as many overs as possible now to avoid total embarrassment. Winning the game is no longer in the equation, barring an absolute miracle.

    There's no bat ...

    Devine has got a smile on her face and reviewed it almost straight away.

  7. New Zealand reviewpublished at 16:06 British Summer Time 26 September 2021

    Sophie Devine is given out lbw on the field and reviews straight away.

    Amy Jones loves it - she's the only one to really appeal.

  8. NZ 66-4published at 18 overs

    Target 348

    Sophie Devine sweeps for three off the final ball of Ecclestone's over.

    Brooke Halliday is the new batter, who played a lovely aggressive cameo in the fourth ODI. She'll need a lot more than a cameo today, though.

    Smiles all round or the England girls as Nat Sciver times her jump to perfection and takes the catch above her head.

    WICKETpublished at 17 overs

    Satterthwaite c Sciver b Cross 6 (NZ 63-4)

    Big blow for New Zealand.

    Amy Satterthwaite had just driven Kate Cross gloriously for four through the covers, but this one's bowled a little slower and she can only scoop it in the air towards Nat Sciver, who judges her jump well to make up for the sitter she dropped a few overs ago.

  11. NZ 59-3published at 16 overs

    Target 348

    The two big guns are in the middle for New Zealand now as Sophie Devine joins Satterthwaite. Any chance of them getting close to this total rests entirely on their shoulders, so no pressure.

    A horrible dismissal. Maddy Green whacks her bat against her pad in frustration. She came forward, realised she was in trouble and played the tamest shot back to Ecclestone.

    A really, really poor shot from Maddy Green. She just patted it back to Sophie Ecclestone.

    Green c & b Ecclestone 22 (NZ 59-3)

    A horror dismissal.

    Maddy Green was taking the attack to Ecclestone, thumping her for two fours earlier in the over. But she tries to go down the pitch for a third time and simply chips the ball straight back to the bowler for the easiest caught and bowled you'll ever see.

    New Zealand had to come out all guns blazing if they were going to get anywhere near England's total.

    Suzie Bates tried ... but it didn't quite work.

  16. NZ 51-2published at 15 overs

    Target 348

    Maddy Green, who's just been dropped, clips Kate Cross for four runs.

    New Zealand's 50 comes up but the still need another 297 runs which is, frankly, ridiculous.

    That could have been the worst drop of the lot to be honest with you.

    An absolute sitter. Sciver cannot believe what she has done.

    NZ 44-2

    Oh, you don't get easier than that!

    Chipped in the air from Maddy Green, straight to Nat Sciver at short midwicket and somehow, she's dropped it.

    It felt like something had to give, with the pressure building. Maddy Green offered it, and England couldn't take it.

    Another wicket is inevitable. It feels as though it is coming.
