OUT! Caught. Linsey Smith to Lea Tahuhu. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, caught by Dean. New Zealand have been bowled out for 168 runs. They began positively in the powerplay, with Georgia Plimmer and Melie Kerr showing early promise. However, the middle order couldn't build on that momentum, failing to stitch together any meaningful partnerships. England's bowlers kept things tight, with Linsey Smith leading the charge as she picked up three crucial wickets. Can England chase this down comfortably and head into the semi-finals with confidence? We'll be back in 30 minutes for what promises to be an exciting second innings.
