England v New Zealand: first women’s cricket ODI – live

Over-by-over reports from the action at Durham
County cricket: day three – live | And mail James

4th over: New Zealand 11-1 (Plimmer 3, A Kerr 2) Plimmer clips a single into the leg side and Kerr opens her account with a flick off an in-swinger into the leg side. All eyes on England’s fielding, that is an area that Charlotte Edwards has really been drilling them on to improve, dropped catches and sluggish efforts were becoming all too common sight in the years preceding.

3rd over: New Zealand 8-1 (Plimmer 2, A Kerr 0) Georgia Plimmer works a single down to deep third to bring Kerr on strike to Lauren Bell. It’s a top over from the lissom limbed seamer, she keeps Kerr honest for three dots.
