Thanks for your company today. A bit of a slow burner but certainly one England's players - and especially those who made their debuts - will not forget.

We will be back with more women's international cricket with the second match of this ODI series between England and New Zealand from Northampton on Wednesday.

Be sure to read Matthew Henry's match report from Durham before you leave us...

Of course there's plenty of cricket to get stuck into over the next few days with a round of County Championship matches ongoing.

You can access live-text commentary and ball-by-ball radio coverage of those from the usual places.

England skipper Charlie Dean, who was also named player of the match, said: "One from one, and a brilliant start from us. To restrict them to 200 made it more do-able for us. To be not out at the end with Tilly [Corteen-Coleman] was fantastic and what a day she's had there, too.

"She [Corteen-Coleman] came in with a plan, she takes everything in her stride. She held her nerve and was brilliant with ball and bat. With the ball, Maddy [Green] and Melie [Kerr] had a brilliant partnership but we felt we could stay patient, and those wickets at the death made it easier for us."

This was the key moment in the game that Amelia Kerr was referring to.

With one wicket to win, Nensi Patel dropped Charlie Dean.

New Zealand captain Amelia Kerr: "I think the wicket was a bit slow, we thought that 250 would be a good score and we were set up to do that but unfortunately lost wickets at the back end.

"We fought hard with the ball to take it deep and there were two big moments, and with a bit more scoreboard pressure we could have cruised it. We have to learn and be better.

"I thought our bowlers were outstanding and we fielded well, a bit bumpy, too. Mistakes can happen, it's part of the game. We've played more cricket than England, came off a series in April, so in a really good place as a group.

"To take it as deep as we did shows fight and character. Being out in the middle is the best practice. It's a different format but great preparation for the Word Cup."

This is only the third time England have won an ODI chasing with a one-wicket margin, and both previous occasions were against New Zealand.

England's smallest margin of victory while chasing in women's ODIs:

• One wicket v NZ at Taunton, 2010 - Chasing 232 with 3 balls to spare
• One wicket v NZ at Auckland, 2022 - Chasing 204 with 16 balls to spare
• One wicket v NZ at Chester-le-Street, Today - Chasing 211 with 10 balls to spare

A brilliant game of cricket. For a lot of the game it almost plateaued and has been quite dull from both sides.

England will be relieved to start the summer with a win.
