    It was Maia and Sophie's day today, as England wrapped up ODI series victory against a mediocre New Zealand side.

    Have a look at the best of Bouchier's innings above, and have a read of Ffion Wynne's report.

    We have one more match of 50-over cricket before we switch to T20s - that's in Bristol on Wednesday at 13:00 BST.

    We'll see you there.

    A first international hundred and a series victory, all from one shot?

    It doesn't get much better...

    England captain Heather Knight: "Really pleased. We talked about trying to dominate and have that ruthless edge, it is something we are conscious of as a side. I don't think it could have gone better for us.

    "Our bowler's made the pitch look tough. The way we held the stumps., held the length to really put pressure on the Kiwis. We took a few early wickets and when we were on top we kept on going

    On Sophie Ecclestone: "She is great to chuck the ball to. She loves taking wickets and we have to do some funky fields to keep her interested. Charlie Dean was great at the other end, to have them and Sarah Glenn too, I am very lucky as a captain.

    On Maia Bouchier: "There were a lot of nerves on the balcony when she was in her 90s as she has had a couple of near misses. It's great that she was able to get that first 100. She is so good to watch when she gets going. Top work from Nat at the end, blocking a full toss was a highlight for me."

    On the final ODI on Wednesday: "We want to be ruthless. We have occasionally lost the last game of a series when 2-0 so it is important we go for the win."

  4. 'We'll have to look pretty hard in the mirror'published at 16:10 British Summer Time 30 June

    New Zealand captain Sophie Devine: "Some pretty similar trends from the last game. We didn't bat out our overs, which is a real crime in fifty overs. With the ball we put on pressure at times, but Tammy and Maia went hard.

    "I thought the wicket was pretty lifeless, to be fair. We knew we had to grind it out a bit, weren't too worried about run-rate. Disappointed to lose wickets in clumps, and we'll have to look pretty hard in the mirror.

    "It doesn't discredit the work we've been doing at home for the last six or seven weeks. Maia just said about trusting the process, that's what we have to do.

    "Every opportunity we have to play with the Silver Fern on our shirts is really important to us. We've got a few things to work out, but plenty of opportunities to do it."

    Player of the match Maia Bouchier: "The relief was there, I put in a lot of work to get to that point. It was great out there with this crowd and to get my hundred is special.

    "It has taken time to get my processes right and not get too ahead of myself. Hundred is just number. I just kept saying that to myself."

    On Nat Sciver-Brunt's two not out: "I was hoping she would just stay at the other end. She played well and it was great to have her in the middle, a calm person to keep me in check. She kept telling me to take it one ball at a time, that was key to me.

    "It will give me so much confidence going into ODIs. I've worked on my 50-over game. Such an important part of batting is taking your time and realising you have more time than you think. That is something I have bee working really hard on. So I'm really proud of myself."

    Bouchier, rather inevitably, is player of the match - we'll hear from her shortly.

    But let's have a moment of recognition for Sophie Ecclestone, who took 5-25 to tear through the New Zealand middle-order.

    As much as I love to see New Zealand win I am a massive cricket fan and was nervous seeing if she could reach three figures.

    I'm loving the evolution of her game. She came over to New Zealand to play club cricket and you could see the potential then. She has talent galore.

    To be able to watching the innings today is so, so special.

    Bouchier finishes on exactly a hundred, with the landmark score coming from 88 balls.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt came in and did the job of seeing the 25-year-old through to her century, scoring two from 12.

    An amazing moment for Maia Bouchier and what an amazing talent, we have seen her get better and better and better.

    I think she has the potential to lead the side like Nat Sciver-Brunt or Tammy Beaumont. She has a great temperament and character

    To win for your country and get to three figures with the same stroke is quite the moment for Maia Bouchier.

  11. England win by eight wicketspublished at 24.3 overs

    Hundred up, match done!

    Another shot whipped square and the England batters race through for the two needed to win the game and the series.

    Bouchier removes her helmet and raises her bat to acknowledge the crowd. It's her first international century and what a way to bring it up!

  12. Eng 140-2published at 24.1 overs

    Bouchier works Jess Kerr square for two to move within two of both her hundred and England's series win.

    The crowd applaud her retaining the strike.

    We all need to practice our defensive strokes at some point and I think Nat Sciver-Brunt has chosen an opportune time to do so.

  14. Eng 138-2published at 24 overs

    Four dot balls it is.

    Sciver-Brunt dusts off some defensive shots from the coaching manual to keep out Molly Penfold.

    Sophie Devine mucks around by walking over to a stopped ball, inviting the single that will never come.

    It's all good fun.

  15. Eng 138-2published at 23.2 overs

    Bouchier takes a single to point, back comes Nat Sciver-Brunt.

    Four dot balls, is it?

  16. Eng 137-2published at 23 overs

    Bouchier moves to 95, hurrying through a two to long-off before taking a single square to retain the strike.

    She needs five, England need five.

    Maia Bouchier is pretty lucky there.

    You can hear the audible sigh of relief from around the ground.

  18. Not outpublished at 22.4 overs

    Umpire's call!

    The technology has the ball drifting just far enough down leg.

    Bouchier is safe, but I think you'd have seen that given out on the field more often than not.

    Maia Bouchier is going to be worried here as that kept low.

  20. Umpire reviewpublished at 22.4 overs

    Could Maia Bouchier have fallen short of her hundred?

    Struck on the back pad trying to pull Jess Kerr away to the leg side boundary - nothing from the umpire, but it looks pretty plumb and New Zealand review immediately.
