7.25pm: Right, that's it from us here. Andrew Miller's report on a dominant England win can be found here. Join us tomorrow as the England-Pakistan jamboree continues with the men duking it out at the Kia Oval!

7.21pm: Just before Heather Knight lifted the series trophy, the England captain spoke about the series as a whole: "I think we were pretty disappointed after Derby. We wanted to show the quality we are as a side. Today was the complete performance, wasn't it?

"We wanted to win. We talked a lot in this group about being ruthless. And I think we did that today, finishing off the series like this. There are a few people working on things and they put it into practice. Today was probably one of our best ODI performances."

7.18pm: Player of the series is Sophie Ecclestone who took six wickets across the two ODIs here and in Derby.

On becoming the fastest to 100 WODI wickets: "It's obviously really cool, I used to watch a lot of them (those she has passed on the list) when I was younger. The girls know I'm not good with numbers, I'm not good with stats. But it's amazing and hopefully it can continue. I think the best thing for me is to enjoy it, and I play in the best team for enjoying it."

Set on another 100?: "I think I just want to win a World Cup or an Ashes, to be honest."

Fatima Sana is speaking for Pakistan: "We started really well with the bowling and we got a lot of wickets early on. But we couldn't finish well. It's good we can learn here. I think we learned a lot of things by playing against them. Our players are young and we're leaning a lot.

On Umm-e-Hani: "Today also she bowled well. She's also a young player and she did well so hopefully she'll get a lot of experience for the World Cup, also."

7.12pm: Shock of all shocks, player of the match is... Nat Sciver-Brunt: "I had a great time, and it's a great way to finish the series," she says, on 124 not out and then 2 for 11.

On her 9th ODI century: "I'm pretty happy with the level of skill, but the mental game of it as well. I managed to get through those tougher patches today and communicate well with my batting partner and made it through. I felt pretty natural going onto the back foot, it's probably more I've worked on manipulating the field (with paddles and sweeps) and getting fielders into places to make it easier for my more comfortable shots."

On bowling her five overs: "The body is pretty sore! It's probably not my quickest five overs ever, but I was happy to bowl in a consistent area."

6.51pm A comprehensive 178-run win sees England take the ODIs 2-0, after winning the T20Is 3-0. The only game they didn't win was a washout. Today, it was the Nat Sciver-Brunt show, with a century and a two-wicket haul including that of Muneeba Ali, the only Pakistan top order batter who threatened England. Sophie Ecclestone then completed the rout with a three-fer. Lauren Bell had, of course, given England the perfect start with the ball as she scalped two in the first powerplay before Kate Cross chipped in with one. Pakistan will be happy with Aliya Riaz's batting, as well as Muneeba's, but this effort left a lot to be desired. Of course, Nida Dar couldn't bat as she picked up a hamstring injury while fielding, but you'd think that even with her there, the gap was too wide to bridge. That's all from me tonight, but stay tuned. Vish will be here with the presentation ceremony soon!
