- New Zealand 141-8, England 142-4; England win by 6 wkts
- Alice Capsey steers hosts home with unbeaten 67
England secured a nervy final-over six-wicket win against New Zealand at Canterbury on Thursday, securing the series 3-0 with two matches left to play, despite Jon Lewis’s controversial decision to rest the captain, Heather Knight.
Alice Capsey struck a career-best unbeaten 67 after successfully having an lbw decision against her overturned by DRS on 40 – reviews showing it would have missed leg stump – while New Zealand were made to pay for errors in the field. They put down Amy Jones on 11 and 18 before a misfield by Fran Jonas at deep third sent the ball over the boundary rope to see England home with four balls to spare.
