5.3 to SW Bates, oh dear - what have you done, Suzie Bates?! Definitely not the best ball Linsey Smith will ever bowl. And this is not the greatest way for Bates to depart in what could be her last World Cup game either. A juicy waist-high full toss outside off and that ought to have been deposited into the sea. Instead, Bates makes a complete hash of her stroke. Tries to go downtown but cannot connect well enough and she offers the simplest of catches to Lamb at mid off. There is a check to see if the full toss is above the waist, and that could offer Bates a reprieve. Nope, nothing doing on that count. 30cm below the waist, according to Ball Tracking, and Bates' blushes are not spared!. 21/1 34.5 to IC Gaze, knocks her over, and NZ are seven down! Slowed up nicely on a fullish length just outside off. Comes in a touch with the angle and that seems to lead to Gaze's undoing. She wanted to swat this away, was perhaps aiming too square and missed it completely. Off stump rattled, and Smith has two in the innings!. 157/7 38.2 to LMM Tahuhu, chipped up, and a superb grab by Dean! NZ bundled out for 168 in their last innings at this World Cup! Fired in full just outside off. Tahuhu looks at the length and thinks she can pop this downtown. Does not get the power she wants, though, and that brings Dean into play at mid off. She tracks the ball all the way and then completes a sharp catch over her shoulder. Top work in the field and England, after a scratchy beginning, have pulled things back wonderfully!. 168/10 | ||||||||||

33.3 to SFM Devine, beats the bat, Jones whips off the bails! NSB is appealing for... something. This was a devious little offcutter, nipping past the inside edge. And England have reviewed here, presumably for caught behind. It's a brilliant call, because there's a scratch on UltraEdge! England celebrate the big wicket of Devine, who has to walk off for the last time in ODIs. An emotional moment for the White Ferns skipper. Took a terrific delivery and catch to get rid of her. 155/6 35.5 to RA Mair, rapped flush on the pad, but the umpire says no! NSB reviews straightaway! Well, for starters, that looked very out and England's promptness in review indicates how confident they are. Slanted in on a back of a length just outside off. Seems to move in a shade and Mair, trapped on the crease, plays all over it. Gets pinned right in front and this could be curtains for the NZ pacer. No bat involved, and Mair, in fact, has missed this by a sizeable margin. Ball Tracking comes up, and it returns with three reds, with the ball thundering into the inside of leg stump. Mair has to go, and NZ are eight down now!. 162/8 | ||||||||||

19.1 to GE Plimmer, hits the pads, Plimmer's plumb! England go bang-bang. Dean on the money to extract NZ's other set batter. Dropped on a length, hint of turn from outside off, Plimmer went back and missed with a flick across the line. Up went the finger, and so palpably was it out that there's no thought to review. Middle of middle on ball-tracking. 89/3 | ||||||||||
| 6 | 0 | 34 | 2 | 5.66 | 16 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | |
18.6 to AC Kerr, Kerr holes out! Oh dear, an unforced error, and Capsey has broken the stand. Kerr has been looking for that lofted shot down the ground, twice picking out the fielder on the bounce in the last couple of overs. This time she gets right under it, but never has the power to clear the rope. Comfortable catch running in for Dean. 89/2 27.4 to ML Green, low full toss does the trick! Capsey stoops and then tosses the ball away in celebration! Unbelievable. Another complete gimme wicket. They are checking the catch, but it looks clean. Green had started nicely in her 200th appearance for the White Ferns, but has to trudge off. 128/5 | ||||||||||

22.4 to BM Halliday, slogged to deep midwicket! Even with shoulder knack, Ecclestone does the business for England! No real celebration, looks like she's gritting her teeth to get through this over. But there's still enough bounce and fizz from a full length to cause the miscue. Dunkley was running in and nearly went to far, had to stretch for the catch over her head - but takes it securely. 101/4 | ||||||||||

27.1 to HC Knight, pinned in front, Devine gets one more ODI pole for the road! Skiddy length, wicket-to-wicket and Knight plays around it. Up goes the finger and she's not hanging around to review. Looked pretty adjacent to leg stump - umpire's call on ball-tracking. That's the 111th ODI wicket of Devine's storied career. Can she take one or two more with her? If not, she's going to be left hopping on Nelson!. 158/2 | ||||||||||

14.4 to TT Beaumont, massive lbw shout, and the finger goes up in a jiffy! Beaumont has a chat with her partner and then goes upstairs! She may not have much of a case here, though. Pitching on a length just outside off and nipping back in sharply. Beaumont, like she so often does, falls across a touch and then cannot access the ball. Plays down the wrong line in the end and gets pinged on the knee roll of the front pad. The bat is close to the ball, but it is clearly pad-first. Ball Tracking comes up, and shows the ball to be crashing into middle stump, two-thirds of the way up. Beaumont has to go, and she takes a review along with her!. 75/1 | ||||||||||
