    England have been on top of this game and if you said they are chasing 171, they'd back themselves, but it is just about the momentum and that is with New Zealand.

    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    This final over is going to go one way or the other for Linsey Smith and England.

    This is going to make or break her figures.

    The usual argument, England might well have been satisfied with a target of 160-180 before a ball was bowled, but not so much after they had New Zealand at 11-4.

  7. NZ 155-4

    Amy Jones is stood up to Lauren Bell and misses one from the England quick.

  9. NZ 147-4

    Lauren Bell with a back-of-the-hand slower ball and Sophie Devine plays a kind of hockey shot which chips it up in the air but the field is back and she gets away with it.

    Devine, of course, played hockey for New Zealand.

    New Zealand's Maddy Green in actionReuters

    Sophie Devine and Maddy Green have been exceptional in digging New Zealand out of trouble after being reduced to 11-4 after 3.4 overs.

    This partnership between Devine and Green is the highest by New Zealand for any wicket in their 42 T20Is v England, going past the 101* by Suzie Bates & Sara McGlashan in 2010 in Southampton.

  11. NZ 146-4

    Freya Kemp manages to wrestle back some of the initiative in the remainder of the over.

    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    Sophie Devine is just going to take everything on at this point and I actually think if she gets out at this point it doesn't matter.

    Sophie Devine is absolutely on the charge. It is an all-timer of an innings.

  14. 6 runs

    NZ 135-4

    Back-to-back sixes from Sophie Devine.

    The Kiwi batter gets two in the slot and accesses the leg side with two hefty swings of the willow. Brutal stuff.

  15. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    Sophie Devine is moving around her crease a lot at the moment and playing around with England.

    I don't know how she managed to get that ball there but precious runs for New Zealand.

  16. NZ 130-4

    Sophie Devine reaches at a wide from Dani Gibson and somehow slices it through point for four.

  17. 50 runs

    Bit of a shaky over from Dani Gibson who is pummelled for six by Maddy Green over the mid-wicket boundary where Sophia Dunkley catches the ball, beyond the rope.

    Green works a single off Gibson later in the over to reach fifty.

  18. NZ 114-4

    Tight from Freya Kemp as she concedes just four runs.

  19. 50 runs

    Fifty for Devine

    Sophie Devine punches Freya Kemp through mid-off for a single to bring up her half-century off 39 balls.

  20. NZ 110-4

    Maddy Green unbeaten on 41 off 37 balls.

    Her partnership with Sophie Devine worth 99 runs.
