England coasted to a seven-wicket victory over New Zealand at the Oval to maintain their perfect record in the T20 series.

Ecclestone had another wicket when Brooke Halliday clipped a length delivery straight to Gibson at mid-on as the New Zealand collapse continued.
Gaze struck a six over mid-wicket which flew through the hands of Wyatt on the boundary, but was run out on 25 off the final ball of the New Zealand innings, with Lea Tahuhu unbeaten on nine.England’s openers soon set about the run chase, with Dunkley, who had been dropped by Kerr in the third over, and Wyatt swiftly making a 50 partnership.
It was left to Sciver-Brunt, who finished 17 not out, and Knight, unbeaten on 14, to bring England home past their victory target at 104 in the 12th over.England will now look to complete a clean sweep in the final match of the T20 series at Lord’s on Wednesday evening.
