England vs New Zealand live stream: How to watch women's T20 cricket online and for free - White Ferns need 156 to win at Lord's

The England vs New Zealand women's T20 match is the final one of this five-game series. The hosts have dominated and will want to put on a show at Lord's, but the visitors will be determined to avoid a whitewash. 

Follow our guide below for where to watch England vs New Zealand live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

The White Ferns won the toss and chose to bat, a decision that looked like an excellent one when Danni Wyatt was out with the first ball of the match. That was the first of four wickets for Fran Jonas, who ended with career-best figures of four wickets for 22 runs. This included a brilliant caught and bowled to remove Nat Sciver-Brunt for just 16.

England struggled at the top of their innings. It required a 50 partnership from skipper Heather Knight and Charlie Dean to settle things. Dean was eventually dismissed for 24, but Knight's 46 Not Out helped guide her side to 155/7. It means New Zealand require 156 from their 20 overs to avoid a 5-0 series defeat. Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer will get their chase going.
