England's women romped to a nine-wicket victory over New Zealand in the fourth one-day international at Barnsley.
After restricting the White Ferns to 136 for nine in their 50 overs, England made light work of reaching their target as they made 139 for the loss of one wicket, getting home with 23 balls to spare to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
Sarah Taylor was 49 not out at the close, while Claire Taylor was also unbeaten on 51.
Heather Knight's was the only wicket to fall, bowled by Sophie Devine for 18.
Earlier, Katherine Brunt returned figures of three for 31, including dismissing New Zealand opener Lucy Doolan for 14 and number three Suzie Bates for just four.
Brunt also caught Natalie Dodd, after a watchful 22 off 84 balls, off Jenny Gunn's bowling as New Zealand failed to settle.
Aimee Watkins was the highest scorer for New Zealand with 42.
