It continued a trend of strong performances from Delany and Paul in particular as they had also led the way in the second test.

On that occasion both women notched centuries in a record-breaking display.

That result was never in doubt from the change of innings and Cara Murray’s five for 39 saw Netherlands all out for 127 to wrap up the series.
