England v New Zealand: Women’s Cricket World Cup – live

7.59am GMT 35th over: New Zealand 157-7 (Mair 0, Kerr 2) This innings slipping through New Zealand’s grasp now. Updated at 8.00am GMT 7.58am GMT WICKET! Gaze b Smith 14 (New Zealand 157-5) And another one! Done by the drift and loses her off stump. 7.54am GMT 34th over: New Zealand 156-6 (Gaze 14, Kerr 1) NSB replaces Bell. Scrapes her hair back in the heat and makes the break through. Farewell Sophie Devine, all time great. And thank you. Updated at 7.58am GMT 7.50am GMT Devine c Jones b Sciver-Brunt 23 (NEw Zealand 155-6) A top-notch off cutter. Jones whips the bails off but NSB fancies a catch and calls for a review. Good ears! A kiss off an inside edge and Devine walks off for one last time, a quick march, without ceremony. 7.45am GMT 33rd over: New Zealand 154-5 (Devine 23, Gaze 13) Smith. Another England full toss goes unpunished and New Zealand milk just one from the over. Hopefully this is England’s off game, and they’ll be all button back up for the semi-final against South Africa on Wednesday. 7.37am GMT 32nd over: New Zealand 153-5 (Devine 23, Gaze 12) Bell struggling a little with her radar – a wide, then a slower ball wafting down leg side which Devine shovels behind for four. Gaze then wildly top edges a short ball for four more. The players take drinks. Updated at 7.41am GMT 7.33am GMT 31st over: New Zealand 142-5 (Devine 18, Gaze 7) Smith, more bounce in her boots now. Dries her hands on the soil of Visakhapatnam. Just three singles. A stat from the Guardian’s women’s cricket queen Raf Nicholson: “Dunkley has only bowled two overs across the three domestic comps last season. So not exactly bowling fit!” 7.30am GMT Ecclestone won't bowl again today 30th over: New Zealand 139-5 (Devine 16, Gaze 6) Bell gets a change of ends too, three from the over. News on Ecclestone – she is having more treatment on her shoulder after feeling discomfort when bowling, and won’t bowl again today. 7.27am GMT 29th over: New Zealand 136-5 (Devine 14, Gaze 6) Smith returns after her uneasy first spell. A different end, an older ball, and altogether a neater over. Just one from it. 7.24am GMT 28th over: New Zealand 135-5 (Devine 13, Gaze 6)…and I speak too soon as Gaze dollies her first ball back to Casey, who makes a Horlicks of a pat-a-cake catch. The end of the over… no it isn’t… as the no-ball signal goes off and a free hit is splayed over long on for four by Gaze. Updated at 7.26am GMT 7.19am GMT WICKET! Green c and b Capsey 18 (NEw Zealand 128-5) A cracking catch by Capsey as Green toe-ends a low-full toss back and Capsey, smartly picks up by her boots. The kind of catch that would not have been taken during the Ashes. Updated at 7.26am GMT 7.18am GMT 27th over: New Zealand 124-4 (Devine 11, Green 17) Dunkley has an interesting action, a kind of lurching camel. Her first ball is cut off the back foot for four and New Zealand have their boundary. Updated at 7.38am GMT 7.13am GMT 26th over: New Zealand 118-4 (Devine 10, Green 12) A sweet sweet four through the covers by Green, playing in her 200th international match. 7.11am GMT 25th over: New Zealand 111-4 (Devine 9, Green 6) Dunkley wasn’t just a fill-in – she goes again with her leggies. New Zealand milk five singles and we are halfway through the innings. 7.07am GMT 24th over: New Zealand 106-4 (Devine 7, Green 3) Devine, now in a cap, chewing gum. Now we’re so used to helmets, there’s something glorious about seeing a human face. New Zealand don’t make the most of Capsey’s allsorts – there have been “six or seven horrendous balls that haven’t made it to the boundary this innings” tuts Isha Guha on the radio. Updated at 7.10am GMT 7.03am GMT Ecclestone off 23rd over: New Zealand 102-4 (Devine 6, Green 1) Ecclestone for the first time. It looks painful, she grimaces after each delivery. A discussion with NSB after two balls, but she continues. A wide, a wicket, then she’s off again – that shoulder still not right. Dunkley continues the over. Updated at 7.10am GMT 7.00am GMT WICKET! Halliday c Dunkley b Ecclestone 4 (New Zealand 101-4) A rather desperate slog sweep from Halliday, well caught by a retreating Dunkley on the rope, backwards over her head. Ecclestone, in pain, breaks through straight away. Updated at 7.01am GMT 6.57am GMT 22nd over: New Zealand 97-3 (Devine 5, Halliday 3) Dean again for her seventh over in a row. Asks for a slip, gets one. Great to see Wyatt-Hodge racing about in the field, an agile duracell bunny. Singles, tick, tock. 6.52am GMT 21st over: New Zealand 94-3 (Devine 3, Halliday 2) Three gentle singles off Capsey. 6.51am GMT 20th over: New Zealand 91-3 (Devine 1, Halliday 1) England right back on top again, and Ecclestone hasn’t even bowled. The fabulous Sophie Devine in the middle for the last time in ODIs and possibly the last time ever in a New Zealand shirt. 6.47am GMT WICKET! Plimmer lbw Dean 43 (New Zealand 89-3) Two in two! Dean floats one in, clonks the retreating Plimmer on the knee roll and she doesn’t bother to review. Updated at 6.47am GMT 6.45am GMT WICKET! Kerr c Dean b Capsey 35 (New Zealand 89-2) Kerr licks her lips, tries to smash Capsey down the ground but instead picks out Dean, who plucks it out of the air. with one hand. 19th over: New Zealand 89-2 ( Plimmer 43) Updated at 6.48am GMT 6.41am GMT Ecclestone back on the field 18th over: New Zealand 85-1 ( Plimmer 41, Kerr 33) Not too many in the ground today, and quite a wind whistling across. A hot wind. Dean continues – Kerr slog sweeps but can’t reach the rope and another decent over. Updated at 6.48am GMT 6.33am GMT 17th over: New Zealand 81-1 ( Plimmer 39, Kerr 31) The cameras spot Ecclestone on the boundary, wrinkling her nose as she rolls her left over. Capsey replaces NSB, her first ball is edged for four. And, to everyone’s relief, they take DRINKS. Updated at 6.48am GMT 6.30am GMT 16th over: New Zealand 76-1 ( Plimmer 34, Kerr 31) Dean, elegantly dishevelled as always, aviator shades, wayward bun, whistles through a tidy over – fast arm, on the money. Updated at 6.48am GMT 6.27am GMT 15th over: New Zealand 75-1 ( Plimmer 33, Kerr 31) The fifty partnership come up as Plimmer, bat hovering as she waits, tonks NSB straight into the bluebell blue sky for four. An otherwise neat over. 6.23am GMT 14th over: New Zealand 70-1 ( Plimmer 28, Kerr 31) Dean stems the boundaries, finds her rhythm. My nephews, visiting from London, have joined me on the sofa. 6.20am GMT 13th over: New Zealand 67-1 ( Plimmer 26, Kerr 30) On the rope, England put ice packs round their necks, gulp at frozen water. A pretty good over from NSB till the penultimate delivery, a drag down, and Plimmer tucks in, pulled to the boundary. 6.16am GMT 12th over: New Zealand 61-1 ( Plimmer 21, Kerr 29) Dean finds her line too, just three singles dabbed . Updated at 6.17am GMT 6.13am GMT 11th over: New Zealand 58-1 ( Plimmer 20, Kerr 27) Better from Sciver-Brunt, just a single from it. It’s hot, hot, hot out there – 40 degrees in the middle. Updated at 6.13am GMT 6.09am GMT 10th over: New Zealand 57-1 ( Plimmer 20, Kerr 26) Charlie Dean replaces the struggling Smith, and Kerr sweeps her immediately and with gumption for four. Eccleston is still off the field after hurting her left shoulder fielding on the rope earlier in the innings. Updated at 6.11am GMT 6.07am GMT 9th over: New Zealand 52-1 ( Plimmer 20, Kerr 21) Nat Sciver-Brunt replaces Bell and also struggles to hit her straps, Plimmer slams her last two balls to the rope. 6.05am GMT 8th over: New Zealand 43-1 ( Plimmer 12, Kerr 3) Smith has the most wickets in the power play, but something is amiss today. Kerr cracks her second ball to the rope, her third is a wide full toss that Kerr plonks behind square also for four, the free hit is spatulated through extra cover for four, and the next purred through cover for four more. Definitely time for a break. 5.59am GMT 7th over: New Zealand 25-1 ( Plimmer 12, Kerr 3) A handful of singles off Bell. 5.57am GMT 6th over: New Zealand 22-1 ( Plimmer 11, Kerr 1) Smith pockets a wicket despite not really finding her rhythm and the majestic Bates leaves the crease for possibly the final time. 5.54am GMT WICKET! Bates c Lamb (sub) b Smith 10 (New Zealand 21-1) A waist high full toss does for Bates who muscles it to mid off. The umpires check for a no ball – the players have their waist measurements checked before the tournament started – who knew? – but the ball is good. A pie, but good. Updated at 5.56am GMT 5.50am GMT 5th over: New Zealand 21-0 (Bates 10, Plimmer 11) Bell gets clonked for two fours by Plimmer. 5.48am GMT New Zealand win the toss and bat - Wyatt-Hodge in Argghgh I got my times totally wrong there, done by the clocks going back. Apologies. Danni Wyatt-Hodge plays for Emma Lamb. New Zealand unchanged. 5.44am GMT Preamble Good early morning and hello GMT for another year. It’s still black here, but not in broiling Visakhapatnam where England will be in top spirits – South Africa, their opponents in Wednesday’s semi-final, bundled out for 97 by Australia. This is a dead game for both England and New Zealand – though England can leapfrog South Africa to finish second behind Australia in the group stage – an ego-boost, but no more. New Zealand, who have had a disappointing tournament, stalked by rain and just one win, against Bangladesh, say farewell to faithful captain Sophie Devine who plays her final ODI of a stonking career of 158 matches, 4,256 runs and 110 wickets. On paper, this also seems a good chance for England to give a game to some of the drinks carriers – to Danni Wyatt Hodges, mysterious bench warmer as the middle order implodes, or Lauren Filer. But Charlotte Edwards has not been moved so far. Play starts at 5.30am GMT, grab an early morning brew and join us.
