  We present the status of our ongoing calculation of the zero-recoil form
factor for the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow D^{*+}l^-\bar{\nu}$
using lattice QCD with 2+1+1 flavours of highly improved staggered quarks in
the sea (the MILC HISQ configurations) and using non-relativistic QCD for the
bottom quark. We combine our result for $ F(1)$ with the latest HFAG average of
$\eta_{EW} F(1)|V_{cb}|$ to get a preliminary value for $|V_{cb}|$.
