England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt: “It has rained quite a few times in Taunton the last few years. A great way to finish the series, finish the way we wanted to. A happy group, I think.
“Bowling first and then the rain doesn’t make for an opportunity to bat longer, but we’re looking at different people in different places, with the new ball as well, trying things out and trying for our best eleven.
“Everyone who’s been given the opportunity has put their hands up, it makes for some headaches for sure.”

Sophia Dunkley got that opportunity at the top of the order to get time in the middle under her belt.
The way she is playing and the little adjustment she’s done with her technique is really paying off.
West Indies captain Shemaine Campbelle: “Me and Qiana [Joseph] came in after we lost early wickets. We needed to spend some time on the crease and knew the batting was going to get easier. Credit to Qiana’s innings that she played.”
On learnings from this series: “There a lot of learning that has come out of this series. The youngers players have stepped up and they have made good use of it. There is a lot of improvement to come. It’s a work in progress and they will learn quickly from this.”

Player of the series Amy Jones: “Exceeded my expectation. A lot of fun batting at the top and g to g the last win today.
“I knew opening was an option, it was good to get games with the Blaze and batting with Tammy and happy to get a go at the top.
“I think one of Tammy’s great strength is recognising the situation, when we got a bit carried away she was great at reigning me back in and also filling me with confidence when going through a tricky patch. At the top there’s ebbs and flows and you’ve got the ride the waves with that.
“India have got some of the best batters in the world and I’d love to be up there.”
Player of the match Sarah Glenn: “It’s been a pretty long day with the rain delay. Everyone did really well to get the focus back on when we went back out there.
“There’s always that pressure when you come back in. You want to make the impact straight away. I tried to keep it simple today. I tried to stay in the present. It was really good.”
On competition for places: “It’s really healthy to have that competition. It keeps growing each year. It really pushes you as a player. And it also helps you stay in the present and focus on what you need to do.”

We know West Indies can bat, it’s just passages of play they don’t win.
The West Indies have got to turn it around quickly as they play South Africa next week back home in the West Indies.
They have got to pick themselves up.
They just don’t have the strength in depth that Australia, England and India have as they don’t have the domestic setup.

England powered to that win in the last few overs – they were 65-1 after eight overs, and smashed 44 runs from 17 balls to close the match.
Nat Sciver-Brunt dominated the strike, going from 19 from 19 deliveries to 57 from 33, adding seven more boundaries to finish with nine in total.

England have got it done pretty easily. West Indies did well to get up to 106 after losing a wicket first ball.
Only chasing 106 to win we knew England would get there, but they got there in extra quick time.
And that’s the game!
Sciver-Brunt hammers a pull shot for four to finish the match, and England take the ODI series 3-0.
It was the same result in the T20 series and the Charlotte Edwards and Nat Sciver-Brunt era remains unbeaten going into India’s tour later in the summer.

Fantastic knock for Nat-Scriver-Brunt. Total control from the England control.
A two to mid-wicket brings up England’s hundred, then Sciver-Brunt fires another four over the covers to reach her half-century.
Scores level.
A seventh four for NSB, crashing Munisar over the covers.
England are almost home.

A lovely shot from Nat Scriver-Brunt, again. She has played beautifully. She looks in total control.
Ouch – Realeanna Grimmond takes one on the ankle, stopping a four on the mid-wicket boundary while slipping.
England run two and Sciver-Brunt gets her third four of the over from its final delivery, sweeping past fine leg.
16 runs off the over – all the England captain’s.

Nat Scriver-Brunt is on the charge. It’s almost like she wants to get this done in three or four overs.

Wallop. And, indeed, wallop.
Nat Sciver-Brunt is in the mood to finish this – she lifts Karishma Ramharack’s first delivery for four over mid-off, then smashes another delivery down the ground for another one-bounce rope clearer.

Absolutely crunched off the back foot there from Nat Scriver-Brunt. A despairing dive at extra cover.

Ashmini Munisar comes into the attack and Alice Capsey greets the spinner’s third delivery with an expansive sweep, dropping to a knee and lifting the ball through backward square for four.
Sciver-Brunt gets her own boundary later in the over, lashing a ball that sat up into the ground and through the covers, with the shot breaking through a fielder and heading to the ropes.
We’re back under way – Sciver-Brunt works the ball into mid-wicket for a single before Capsey brings out the reverse ramp to add two more runs.
Capsey then backs off to the final delivery of the over and slaps Ramharack through the covers for four.
A couple of singles to start Karishma Ramharack’s second over, but we’ll take a break because Qiana Joseph has something in her eye.
She’s sloshed some water in it but that doesn’t appear to have solved the issue – she’s walking off.
