This is a compelling victory for England - they have played a lot better today.

It was a complete one-day performance and they just pushed New Zealand off the park.

A word also for England captain Eoin Morgan, who hit an attacking and entertaining 62 to ensure his side didn't falter when they fell to 86-3.

He showed plenty of nous to put England well ahead of the game in a stand of 88 with Ben Stokes, who calmly saw out the victory alongside Jos Buttler.

England were very attacking tonight. They were very commanding. They were a bit timid in the T20 series, but tonight they pressed all the right buttons.

Congratulations England - that is thoroughly deserved. They have comfortably gone about their business - they hit the ball nice and powerfully. New Zealand are going to have to work very hard to match this level of performance.

Another single returns Buttler to the strike.

One hit will do it...

Stokes taps a single before there is a brief appeal for caught behind as Buttler tries to tickle it fine.

Nothing doing - that hit pad on the way through.

Stokes jogs a single to long-on and Buttler defends the last.

The Durham man will be on strike to Mitchell Santner - big finish in store?

The man who took that one-handed catch in the crowd is reliving it with his mates. That catch will get better and tougher with early retelling.

Stokes clatters Munro through the covers for four. The all-rounder has looked oh so very good with the bat today.

England need single digits to win.

Buttler then batters an even better looking pull shot for four. Majestic.

Buttler wants this over in a hurry now.

He advances down the wicket again, Southee digs it in but Buttler still pulls high and away over square leg and into the crowd...

...where a man in one of those orange vest T-shirts completes a fine one-handed catch and goes absolutely postal in celebration. He's utterly delighted to snaffle NZ$50,000.

Tim Southee is back and is greeted by Jos Buttler walking down the pitch at him and pulling the ball away behind square for four.

That's 200 up for England.

Munro continues to trundle away and England continue to just knock it around, picking up three off the over.

Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special commentator

No real drama for the supporters here today. It has been a very professional, ruthless performance by England - high-class in the field and some fine strokes.

A tidy over from Lockie Ferguson, conceding just two runs.

And that's drinks. A brief respite for the hosts as England progress towards victory.

Six runs off Munro's latest over. No boundaries but no need for England to do anything more than nurdle singles now.

The sun has wound down and this game is going the same way.

The shot selection in this innings from Ben Stokes has been outstanding.
