Captain Heather Knight: Tammy Beaumont scored 81 off 96 balls while Nat Sciver-Brunt took three wickets to help England seal a 56-run win over New Zealand and seal the ODI series at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Wednesday.

Captain Heather Knight stuck to an unchanged combination which got them the victory in the opening ODI at Wellington. England batted first with Tammy’s knock making a significant contribution which included a 70-run partnership with Heather, though she fell short of her tenth ODI century.

New Zealand recovered, and after losing 6-59 which saw Jess Kerr dismiss Heather and Nat with two slower balls, while Alice Capsey was stumped off Fran Jonas, followed by Danni Wyatt and Charlie Dean falling in quick succession.
