9.20pm: England's imperious march through the 2024 summer continues. They have won 12 out of 13 limited-overs fixtures to date, and if they were a little sketchy at times against Pakistan, there has been a hard edge to their encounters with the luckless White Ferns. Anyway, Valkerie Baynes' report is in the slot, and we'll be back to wrap up the series from Lord's next week. Thanks for keeping us company, from Miller, Valkerie, Binoy and myself, it's good night. Bye!

9.10pm: Time for the presentations, starting with Sarah Glenn as Player of the Match: "Definitely, felt the girls backed me up in the field and we did really well as a bowling unit. [Ecclestone partnership] We're bowling really well in the middle, adapting well. We're two different personalities, so it's great. Feel like I haven't changed much technically, it's just the lines I bowl. I have a calm head and stay level. [Five-for?] Yeah, thought about it and then dragged it down. Maybe one day. If I don't know what I'm going to bowl, how do they?"

New Zealand captain Sophie Devine: "England are certainly giving us some honest hard lessons and we're not learning from them. Wickets in clumps, you can't do that against the best sides. [Why?] Not sure, but you can't do that if you're going to put a competitive score on the board. Powerplay was okay but losing four/five wickets in the space of a few overs is too much. Hopefully we can put out a bit more than we did tonight [in the fifth T20I]. Fantastic crowds, disappointing we couldn't give them more of a show. [Lord's] Really important when we pull on the Silver Fern so we want to show what we can put on."

England's Heather Knight: "I think we played really well. The crowd were great, gave us great energy. We were slick with the ball and the two at the top got the bulk of the innings done. [Ruthlessness] We've worked hard, worked on our skills to repeat consistently. Even today, Dani Gibson has come back having done a bit of work with her stride. We were ruthless again, which was really pleasing to see. Next game, we want to continue and finish on a high. A few selection problems, the girls are making it tough for us. Competition for places is driving us forward and that's a good place to be. We want to take momentum into the World Cup. [Crowd] We love the support, trying to entertain and inspire. So to see lots of boys and girls here, enjoying the cricket is great to see. Hopefully another good crowd at Lord's."

9pm: England have stomped all over NZ in south London, like Godzilla laying waste to 1950s Tokyo. Sarah Glenn's four-for highlighted a constricting display with the ball before the openers cut the target in half inside the powerplay. NZ prevented them running away with it, but three quick wickets provided only a veneer of respectability, as Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt finished things off to pump the tires further ahead of England's World Cup campaign. NZ, meanwhile, have lost seven in a row on tour, and Sophie Devine will have to pick them up off the floor before Wednesday's final T20I commitment at Lord's

AC Kerr to Nat Sciver-Brunt, FOUR, tossed up outside off, NSB goes for a big reverse-wipe... did she hit it? Runs are signalled. Yes, came off the glove and defeated Gaze before trundling away. That's the England 100 up
