Righto, that is me done. Congratulations to England on another fine performance. They take the series with one to play – the teams now head to Bristol for the final ODI on Wednesday before the T20 part of the tour gets underway. Thanks for your company, goodbye.

Victorious England Captain Heather Knight:

We’re really pleased. We talked about dominating and having that ruthless edge. To win the series in the two ways we have, I don’t think it could have gone better. We want to be ruthless, it’s important we keep pushing and keep dominating.”

The bowlers made it look really tough out there, they put pressure on the Kiwis… Bouchier’s century was really special. There were a lot of nerves on the balcony! We know how desperate she was and she’s had some near misses. We knew it was on her mind, so to get that monkey off her back is so good. Top work from Nat (Sciver-Brunt) at the other end, blocking the full toss was the highlight for me!”
