That’s it from me this evening. Congratulations England – ‘A new dawn has broken has it not?’ and all that. Charlotte Edwards will be pretty happy with what she saw this evening. The series continues on Friday down in Hove. Rob Smyth will be your guide for that and we’ll be back in the morning for the start of the Test match summer.

Thanks for your company, goodnight!

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt:

Happy days! I didn’t have to do anything! The important thing was taking wickets through the innings, Hayley is such a big player for them but stemming the runs by taking wickets was our method. The chase looked calm and calculated and was brilliant to watch.”
