    10.1 Two in two for England and just like that NZ have lost both openers. Length ball on off stump, Kerr steps right across looking for the scoop, she misses and sees the ball clatter into off stump. 70/2
    9.6 Straight down long-on's throat. Gaze backs away outside leg stump but Kemp follows her with an offcutter. She lofts this but only as far as Capsey who gobbles this up 70/1

    15.4 Devine is pinned on the pads! Up goes the finger, Devine reviews... She had set up a long way across her stumps, and attempted the pick-up across the line. Bell aimed wicket-to-wicket, but is this going over the top? No it is not! Smashing the middle of middle, hitting in line too. Devine's work is done ... but how terminally? 126/5
    10.3 Three wickets in four balls. My word, what's happening here! The ball doesn't get up as much as Sharp expected and Gibson has her second wicket of the over. Length ball outside off that skids through. Sharp pushes at it, gets a thick inside edge and sees her stumps in a mess 70/3
    15.2 pounded into the off-side, Dean with the direct hit! That's wonderful work from the skipper at cover. She picked it up cleanly, unleashed decisively from inside the circle, beat Halliday's scamper by two metres! 124/4

    19.6 superb bouncer, Bates is run-out! It was pace-on this time, well directed at the lid... Green had a swing, Bates took the bye, Jones' under-arm was on target! 163/6
