England clinched their ODI series against New Zealand with a 56-run win in the second match in Hamilton.
After being dismissed for a duck in the first match on Monday, opener Tammy Beaumont bounced back with a stellar 81 to get England off to a hot start at Seddon Park.
Once Maia Bouchier was caught by Hannah Rowe for 20, England captain Heather Knight set about building an intimidating target alongside Beaumont.
The pair combined for 70 runs before Knight was dismissed by Jess Kerr.
Beaumont was not fazed however, continuing to belt boundaries despite the quick exits of Nat Sciver-Brunt and Alice Capsey.
She lifted England to 158 for five before she was finally dismissed by Rowe.
Despite a staunch 57 from Brooke Halliday and a blistering 47 off 48 balls from Izzy Gaze, New Zealand's batters were unable to threaten England's score of 252, ultimately being bowled out for 196.
Sciver-Brunt led the way for England's bowlers with three wickets from her seven overs. The final match of the series takes place on Sunday.
