• NZ 80; Eng 81-3. England win by seven wickets

• England complete chase with 37 balls to spare

England achieved a straightforward win against New Zealand at Hove on Monday, bowling the visitors out for 80 before chasing down the runs with 37 balls to spare to secure the series 2-1.

The win was set up by a catastrophic batting collapse from New Zealand, who sunk to 33 for six in the first nine overs. A Thomas Becket-esque miracle had saved them at Canterbury, but a second one was unlikely to materialise, especially as this time the in-form Sophie Devine was dismissed for a duck.
