4.41pm: NZ captain Sophie Devine, who is retiring from ODIs: "Disappointing. Not to make it about myself, I wanted to go out on a high and today's performance wasn't that. Credit to England, they stuck at it and did the job with the bat. [Lessons] Just confidence and belief. We spoke about it after the T20 WC win. When we play our best cricket, we can beat anyone in the world. Excited about the talent coming through. They've got such a high ceiling, it's just self-belief and knowing their best is good enough. [Final ODI] Actually didn't cry as much as I thought I was going to. Great thing about announcing it was I was able to process emotions. It was about enjoying it today and going back to the roots of 19 years ago and why I play. Nice to finish with Suzie Bates bowling down the other end, to share that was really special. We'll celebrate in the changing room and have a few drinks tonight. [Bates and Tahuhu future?] They've shut up shop, so I don't know, they've left me out to dry. Completely their decision. They've played such an important role in my career and I'm lucky to call them my best mates. Incredible to think of the growth of the game, to see where it's got to is almost unrecognisable. I'm so excited about that, to see how far it can grow. Sport teaches you a lot, we're professional athletes and you're judged on that but it's so much bigger. To play alongside your mates, it's so much more valuable and rewarding. Gives you perspective. Enjoy it while it lasts but realise cricket is just a game. Not fully done just yet so sure I'll be annoying people around the grounds."

England's Nat Sciver-Brunt: "Really wanted to put in a performance today. The ways that we've gone about cricket in this tournament have been largely successful, so happy to put in that performance. Being proactive [with the bat] in the middle order, conditions played a part today. With the ball, reaffirming plans and making sure execution is high. Fielding, keeping the energy up, showing how much we care. [Captaining in heat] Don't get to go down to third and get a drink. Really happy to influence the girls today. [Ecclestone] Don't know anything further but it was a precaution with a huge match coming up. Wouldn't want to risk anything. [Dunkley bowling] Danni did put her hand up, but Dunks has been bowling a bit more in the nets. [Jones] Brilliant. Started off with a brilliant opening partnership. Felt it was easier to play when the ball hard, and Amy being there at the end was the best thing, we can take that confidence into the semi."

And that's a wrap from Visakhapatnam. You can look back on this one with Valkerie Baynes' report, and then head over to see how India go in their final game before taking on the mighty Australia in the semi-finals. We'll be back for more when England and South Africa compete for a spot in the final on Wednesday. From myself and Shashwat, Sudeep and Ranjith, it's cheerio for now. Bye!

4.35pm: A word with the captains coming up. Meanwhile, we have a 5pm start time in Navi Mumbai, with India and Bangladesh looking to beat the weather in the final game of the group stage

4.30pm: Player of the Match is Amy Jones: [Pitch?] "Found it quite challenging, a bit frustrating to start but happy to get through that. Hugely exciting to be in the semi-final, we're so happy with that. [Bounced back after Aus defeat] Guess we've done that twice now, a poor performance and then bounced back so that's a positive and gives us confidence for the semi. [Devine farewell] Great for Soph to get this recognition, she's a legend of the game and it's clear to see what she means to New Zealand and everyone in the women's game."

4.25pm: Handshakes and hugs, England take the spoils but Sophie Devine the plaudits for a stellar career in the 50-over format. She can't quite rally the troops to sign off with a win, but there's a smile on her face as she walks off - and it's going to be accompanied by a guard of honour from both sides, having refused one when she came out to bat earlier. A nice moment on the outfield, as the White Ferns bow out of this World Cup. For England, a semi-final in Guwahati against South Africa awaits

Devine to Jones, FOUR, belted through cover, England win by eight wickets! Jones finishes on 86 not out, the chase done inside 30 overs to wrap up second spot on the group table with five wins from seven

Lots of tinkering with the field by Devine. She's got short straight mid-off and mid-on in, no one fielding behind square

"Is Sophie Devine retiring from T20Is too or just ODIs?" She's expected to remain available for T20, Roshan - although no longer contracted by NZC
