Georgia Plimmer receives a warm-up delivery and hits it straight back, taking England to two early successes. Share Gaze attempts a hasty heave and is bowled by a cracking ball that nudges in, removing her middle stump. England’s innings starts with Lauren Bell bowling an away swinger, followed by four dots and a pull to the rope before Bell’s spell ends. The match is played in very hot Canterbury conditions with spectators using parasols and sunglasses. New Zealand makes two changes, bringing in Nensi Patel and Lea Tahuhu. England omits Sophie Ecclestone due to a right quad precaution and replaces her with Izzy Wong.
"England omit Sophie Ecclestone (right quad, precautionary) and replace her with Izzy Wong. England XI: Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, Danielle Gibson, Amy Jones (wk), Charlie Dean (c), Issy Wong, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell."
