Experienced middle-order batter Maddy Green top-scored for New Zealand with an unbeaten 52, while skipper Sophie Devine contributed 41 before England bowled out the hosts 203 at the Eden Park.

Saqib Mahmood has taken two wickets in his Test debut against West Indies, but it was the one that got away that he remembered most vividly. Mahmood thought he had snared his first Test scalp with a brilliant yorker which bowled Jermaine Blackwood on Friday, but the 25-year-old's celebration was cut short when the umpire called a no-ball at Kensington Oval in Barbados. The swing bowler said the extra effort he had put into the delivery had caused him to overstep the crease. "I was fine the whole time on the front line and then just a bit of an effort ball trying to get that yorker in," he said on Saturday. "I was pretty gutted at the time. Thought I'd let myself down, let the boys down, but I tried to get it out of my head, which was quite tough, tried to crack on."
