Easy clap for the hosts. Series in the bag, one more game to go. A couple of interesting themes, mainly Jofra. Will that be what Cameron Ponsonby will write about? Find out in a few hours. For now, it's bye from me, Ekanth, my report-writing co-commentator, Vithushan Ehantharajah, and our scorers, Chetan Kumar and Ranjith P.

Mitch Santner Great game for us. Started with the ball. Not as much in the pitch as we thought, restricting them to a low score took a special effort. 170, we'll take that, especially vs Archer and Carse. Kane and Ravindra did well to ensure we weren't 3 of 4 for 40. Mitchell loves the battle. Don't want to get him too fired up, especially in one-day cricket. I thought if I'd defend I'd scratch off, so decided to attack. Tickner is a world-class bowler. We trust guys to come into the environment and get used to it.

Harry Brook Disappointing. We've to come back stronger and better, and get a win against the second-ranked ODI team. Wickets are similar to England. Nice to bat on too, gotta get past the first 15-20 balls and cash in from there. We wanted to entertain the world, hasn't happened in the last two games. Got near 400 vs South Africa, hope to do well again on... Saturday(?). Everyone loves watching Jofra bowl. He's a valuable asset and his figures were awesome. I just want the team to dig deep, be entertaining and positive. Hope it comes off this time.

Blair Tickner, POTM: Felt really good, didn't expect to play today. I was having a barbecue and got a message that I'll play. We wanted to take early wickets, boys continued the job off. Good bowling performance from all. I had a bit of a long winter in England. Enjoying my cricket here. Will go back to the domestic grind. Happy to have family here.

Rahul Acharya : "Nz's first Odi series win against Eng since 2013 and first at home since 2008"

Rohantha: "That was some partnership in the context of the match!"

7:58pm "That was a canter, then a few hiccups and then back to a gallop. England lost the game with the bat. Archer breathed fire, which are great signs for the Ashes. Both of his five-over spells were a bowling highlight. Ravindra and Williamson bore the brunt of his attack after Young fell to Archer early. The batting duo made progress. Ravindra built on it. Archer's return created jeopardy as he got the well-set Ravindra for 54 and Bracewell cheaply. Brian Charles Santner then came out to ensure there were no further hiccupsBlai

Pate: "Thats one way to chase down low scoring thrillers. "
