So that's it from our coverage of the 3rd ODI between England Women and New Zealand Women, we'll bring you the coverage of the 4th ODI on Thursday. By then stay tuned and enjoy coverage of other series and tournaments. Good night.
Maddy Green is the player of the match "We talked about the last couple of games and discussed how the batsmen came in and chipped. We are happy that we bowled exceptionally well in all the three games. My job was to get in and see the innings through and finish the job as well. Katherine Brunt bowled extremely well at the start and the plan was to see through her overs, England are a very good bowling unit. I am really enjoying the opportunity, lots of positives taken today."
New Zealand captain|Sophie Devine, "Certainly nice to finally get over the line, Maddy Green was outstanding with the bat proving how an anchor can keep an innings afloat. It was nice to sit back and see the girls do the job. Hopefully we are working in the right direction for the World Cup that looms ahead. It was good to see how the tail enders have contributed and that striking from Tahuhu was outstanding. She's not as quick as she used to be but it's about being smart as a bowler"
Heather Knight|English skipper "The bowlers were brilliant, but we didn't have enough runs on the board, Katherine Brunt was brilliant so was Charlie Dean. We've got two more matches to improve and also the Women's World cup and Ashes series to look ahead to. Happy with the way the tail enders have contributed"
That's it from Grace Road, Leicester! We had a brilliant game of cricket on the cards today with all the results possible until Lea Tahuhu took matters in her own hands! New Zealand keep their hopes alive in this series as the scoreline is now 2-1 in the five match series.
On the other hand, Lea Tahuhu, the comeback queen was the star for the White Ferns with the best performance with the ball in her ODI career. Tahuhu, along with Maddy Green, who scored an unbeaten 70 took calculated risks and carried the momentum. Tahuhu especially, finishing off with the only six of the match.
Katherine Brunt was unarguably the best player in the English ranks as she held their hopes high with 49 not out and picked up four important wickets in the second innings.

45.4 Farrant to L Tahuhu
0 Nails a perfect yorker, but Tahuhu is too good and blocks it for no run.
45.3 Farrant to L Tahuhu
4 Consecutive boundaries for Tahuhu. She is doing it in style at the moment. Just 4 away from victory here. Through covers.
45.2 Farrant to L Tahuhu
4 FOUR!! A calculated risk taken by Tahuhu, a brilliant stroke over mid wicket gets a boundary as there's no protection in the deep.
45.1 Farrant to M Green
1 Driven towards deep cover, looks for a second but Tahuhu denies.
