England Women vs New Zealand Women, 27th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Smith to Lea Tahuhu, out Caught by Charlie Dean!! Fine fielder is Dean and that's a good catch. Running back from mid-off and catching it over her right shoulder. Full on the stumps, Lea Tahuhu gets forward to loft and miscues it, looked to be clearing Dean but she shows good athletic ability as she goes back and takes it two-handed. That's the end of the New Zealand innings as well. Lea Tahuhu c Charlie Dean b Smith 2(8)

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Lea Tahuhu, out Jess Kerr Run Out!! Needless run and New Zealand continue to crumble. A slower-ball off-cutter outside off, tapped wide of cover and Jess Kerr is slow to set off, doesn't dive either, tries to slide the bat in, Dean with an accurate throw to Amy Jones and she does the rest. Caught just short. Jones was in front of the stumps and collected the throw before whipping the bails off behind her. Jess Kerr run out (Charlie Dean/Amy Jones) 10(12) [4s-1]

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Rosemary Mair, out Lbw!! The off-cutter from Nat Sciver-Brunt. Held a touch and struck Rosemary Mair plumb in front of the sticks. Massive appeal from England and the skipper did not waste a second in challenging the onfield call. Even Rosemary Mair knew she was a goner, and looked very guilty throughout the DRS process. She was neither forward, nor back and ended up being a dead duck in front of the stumps. Rosemary Mair lbw b Nat Sciver-Brunt 0(3)

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Jess Kerr, FOUR, pitched up outside off, Kerr stays deep inside the crease and slices the drive past the fielder at backward point to her left

Smith to Isabella Gaze, out Bowled!! Once again two set batters depart in quick succession. Slower and lower from Smith, Gaze goes down looking for a sweep and misses it completely. Past the under edge and hits the middle of off stump. New Zealand in all sorts of trouble. Isabella Gaze b Smith 14(24) [4s-1 6s-1]

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Devine, out Caught by Amy Jones!! Appeal for a stumping, but Devine's back foot never moved. Looks like England have taken a review for caught behind? Yes, England review. Guess what! There is a spike on the UltraEdge. Gone. End of a terrific ODI career for Sophie Devine. What.A.Legend. "Thank you, Sophie" says her mate Katey Martin, on the comms. The length was a bit full from Nat Sciver-Brunt and lured Devine onto the front foot. A tiny feather of an inside edge and a superb, sharp catch from Jones. England initally appealed for a stumping, but on seeing the square leg umpire turn it down, they instantly went upstairs for a caught behind. Devine c Amy Jones b Nat Sciver-Brunt 23(35) [4s-1]

Bell to Isabella Gaze, FOUR, pacy bumper just outside off, gets big on Gaze who mistimes the pull (off the top-edge) to the right of the keeper

Bell to Devine, FOUR, full and sprayed down leg, Devine stoops low and gets a thick top-edge on the swipe that beats the fielder at deep square to her right

Capsey to Isabella Gaze, SIX, Gaze dances down the wicket, gets close to the pitch of the delivery and thumps it over long-on for the first maximum of the game.

Capsey to Isabella Gaze, no run, dropped. Capsey caught a tough one the previous delivery and now dropped an absolute dolly. Floaty offbreak just outside off, Isabella Gaze with a casual forward push and ended up chipping a return catch to the bowler. Capsey tries to grab with her bowling hand and misses it completely...

Capsey to Green, out Caught&Bowled!! New Zealand five down. Excellent return catch that from Alice Capsey. She lobbed a full ball outside off, Green hit that on the full and went off the cue end of the bat low to the left of Capsey. She put in a dive and clasped it both hands inches above the turf. Green c and b Capsey 18(19) [4s-2]

Sophia Dunkley to Green, FOUR, quicker legbreak outside off, Green goes deep inside the crease and cuts it square to the left of sweeper cover. A long chase for the fielder in the deep, but to no avail...

Capsey to Green, FOUR, there is the release ball. Overpitched wide of off stump, Green leans across and times the drive superbly all along the ground through extra cover

Ecclestone to Halliday, out Caught by Sophia Dunkley!! That should make Ecclestone feel a lot better now. Loops it just outside off for the left-hander, Halliday sank low with an intention to play the slogsweep and it's been mistimed down the throat of Dunkley at deep mid-wicket. Halliday c Sophia Dunkley b Ecclestone 4(14)

Ecclestone to Devine, 2 wides, sliding down the leg-side, Devine pulls and misses. Short fine puts in a sliding stop to keep it down to a single

Charlie Dean to Plimmer, out Lbw!! Dean with the catch and Dean with a wicket now. Both set batters gone in quick succession. The classic offbreak, slower and pitches on a length to catch Plimmer plumb on the crease. She wanted to flick, but played all around it. Hit her dead in front of middle and that's a goner. No interest for a review either and rightly so. Plimmer lbw b Charlie Dean 43(57) [4s-7]

Capsey to Amelia Kerr, out Caught by Charlie Dean!! Capsey gets the much-needed breakthrough. She floats one full outside off stump and lures Kerr into a false shot. Kerr sat down on one knee looking to go big down the ground, skews the loft off the toe end and picks out Dean at long-on. Amelia Kerr c Charlie Dean b Capsey 35(43) [4s-5]

Capsey to Plimmer, FOUR, short outside off, Plimmer rocks back to cut and gets a thick outside edge that runs away to the third man fence. Beaumont put in a last-minute dive, but to no avail...

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Plimmer, FOUR, overpitched on the stumps, Plimmer lofts the drive over mid-on and beats the sprinting effort of Dunkley to her left

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Plimmer, FOUR, that was a hit-me short ball from the skipper. Short and Plimmer had all the time in the world to rock back and muscle the pull over the leaping mid-wicket to her right

Charlie Dean to Amelia Kerr, FOUR, a friendly full ball on the stumps, Kerr sinks to one knee and nails the sweep over mid-wicket. Excellent placement and timing

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Plimmer, FOUR, wobble seam, but the length is a bit too full outside off. Plimmer all hands on the drive and she manages to get a thick outside edge that runs away in the gap between backward point and short third

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Plimmer, FOUR, drags it short on the stumps and Plimmer feasts on it with a well-timed pull through mid-wicket. Got back inside the crease and used the pace on offer to place it on the leg-side

Smith to Amelia Kerr, FOUR, a hat-trick of boundaries for Amelia Kerr. Tad short outside off, Kerr uses the depth of the crease to cut it past the diving fielder at cover to her right

Smith to Amelia Kerr, FOUR, shimmies down the wicket, meets the ball on the full and clobbers it along the ground through extra cover

Smith to Amelia Kerr, no ball, FOUR, full toss too high on the stumps, Kerr swivels and powers the pull behind square on the leg-side. Linsey Smith is clearly struggling to grip the ball today. Freehit coming up...

Smith to Amelia Kerr, FOUR, short once again from Linsey Smith. Kerr jumps deep inside the crease and smashes the cut past the diving right hand of Bell at backward point

Smith to Bates, out Caught by (sub)Lamb!! Oh dear! Not the ideal way to go. Bates missed out on a couple of juicy full tosses in the last over and she makes a meal of this one too. Full toss that dipped enough wide of off stump, Bates goes really hard on the flat-bat slap and ends up chipping a dolly of a catch to Lamb at mid-off. Telly umpire checks for a possible no-ball and it's dipping enough to below the waist. That was a clear case of the ball slipping out of Smith's palm there. Bates c (sub)Lamb b Smith 10(16) [4s-2]

Bell to Plimmer, FOUR, lovely timing from Georgia Plimmer. Bell overcorrects and bowls it a bit too full on the stumps, Plimmer holds her shape and nails the drive in the gap between short mid-wicket and mid-on

Bell to Plimmer, FOUR, gets the timing right this time around. Short and angled into the body, Plimmer swivels and hammers the pull all along the ground through mid-wicket

Bell to Bates, FOUR, short and angling down leg, Bates swivels and helps it away with a pull down to the fine leg fence. Easy pickings that for Suzie...

Bell to Bates, FOUR, misfield. Full ball in the zone outside off, Bates drives to the left of cover and Capsey fumbles on the dive. Looked like her knee got stuck onto the surface and the ball snuck past her palms. A late dive from Ecclestone, but to no avail...
