Full commentary

8pm Well that was dramatic. England take the series with their highest ever run-chase, which is remarkable in itself. And it's Heather Knight who is the heroine, with a fantastic hundred. Anchoring a tough ask, to wrap up the series with a game to spare.

Kasperek to Ecclestone, 1 wide

Goes for a gallop, and Ecclestone is stumped… but it's wide, so England win!

Battered down the ground, one bounce for four! That's got the equation back in England's favour

Devine to Wyatt, OUT

Huge appeal, struck on the pad! Given! Wyatt reviews. She's deep in her crease, doesn't look like bat involved. Sure enough, it's hitting… drama!

Devine to Knight, OUT

Knight goes for glory and holes out! A big honk through the line, trying to get the match won before the final over. There's some dispute whether it carried but it's safe enough

Devine to Knight, 2 runs

Driven through backward point, Knight sprints back for the second, makes it with a dive and Knight has England's first hundred since 2019. Her second ODI hundred and what a time to get it

Paddled very fine, they come back for the second and this could be tight … it's gone upstairs. But safe enough
