England
successfully chased down a target of 192 to edge past New Zealand by
three wickets and win the five-game Royal London One-Day International
series.
The tourists managed a respectable total of 283-9 with both Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill posting half-centuries.
Play was briefly suspended due to rain, which restricted the hosts' innings, and they struggled towards an uninspiring 45-5.
However, Jonny Bairstow's impressive unbeaten total of 85 helped claim victory for his side with an over to spare.
