6.14pm: Straight into the presentations today, starting with Player of the Match, Issy Wong: "Really pleased, good to get over the line as well. Really satisfying. Had some chats with the staff, and our media guy, Dean, and that helped my mindset, so that paid off. [Shelve outswinger?] It's ongoing, it's about doing what the team needs from me, trying to hit the stumps and using my wobble seam."

Ireland captain Gaby Lewis: "Pretty disappointing, trickier pitch to bat on this morning. We struggled up top and that put the pressure on. They were more accurate and we struggled to take the extra risk. For a good 20 overs there were some positives again. [Next game?] Keep the consistency, push for that, focus on the positives. Games come thick and fast, so dust off and go again."

England captain, Charlie Dean: "Brilliant, to win like that was phenomenal. To be clinical in the field and with the ball, then to chase it down. Wongy was fantastic, that wobble ball homing in on the top of the stumps. [Fielding] We applied ourselves despite the bumpy surface. [Worcester] Replicate the performance from today, that would be awesome. Pleased to wrap up the series and to go 3-0 would be great."

Okay, let's wrap this one up. Valkerie's report is your next stop, then we're living for the weekend, with the third and final ODI taking place at New Road on Sunday. Make sure to join us again for that. For now, from myself, Miller and Vairavan, it's goodnight. Ta ra!

6.10pm: Another emphatic win for England, this one more of an all-round performance. They shed a few more wickets than perhaps they'd like - but hauling in 166 with 27 overs to spare is a statement in its own way. Maia Bouchier top-scored for the second match running, although she got out to a stinker. The fact they were able to chase with such freedom was down to the bowlers (and an improved fielding display), with Issy Wong's maiden five-for triggering a collapse after Ireland had battled to set a score
