Time for us to say goodbye.

Take a read of Ffion Wynne's report to see how New Zealand won by 17 runs (DLS) in drizzly Cardiff, squaring the series at 1-1.

We'll be back on Wednesday for the first T20 (18:30 BST) between these sides as they build towards the T20 World Cup next month.

See you then.

England captain Charlie Dean: "Batting first would always be a bit tricky on a day like today. You're trying to manage situations then adjusting so tempo is always hard, and we were not on the right end of the result.

"Alice [Capsey] and Freya [Kemp] batted remarkably well, when you have shortened overs you want to take it on and accelerate, and we lost key wickets as we were starting to do that.

"Wickets were how were going to get back into the game, we wanted to keep Lauren Bell a bit for the death but she bowled remarkably well up top. She is an exceptional talent, a shame we could not get over the line."

On captaincy: "I have really enjoyed it and the girls have supported me really well."

New Zealand skipper Melie Kerr: "Any time you win a game and it's against a quality England side, it's pleasing to be on the right side today."

On Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday and Izzy Gaze: "The three have been outstanding. 40-3 and on a tricky wicket for them to absorb pressure, they looked pretty comfortable, the run-rate was under control. The way they played was brilliant to watch."

On Championship points: "These 50-over games are really important for us to hopefully qualify for the next 50-over World Cup. It's nice to get the win today, the loss was close one but nice to be in a really good position as a side where I feel we're competing with some of the best in the world."

On Suzie Bates' last ODI: "The cricket gods looked after us today with winning the toss and getting the win. For someone like Suzie, an absolute legend of the game, all she's achieved, all the runs she's scored, the stats speak for themselves.

"I always say we're the lucky ones to see the impact she has on the group and changing room. Every White Ferns player looked up to Suzie. She's gonna be a huge loss when she steps away from the game fully. What an incredible person to have for me to share a changing room with for 10 years."

Player of the series Maddy Green: "We were just trying to be positive and put pressure back on England. They bowled well up top and the wicket was doing a bit as was the ball in the air.

"It was nice to bat with Brooke [Halliday], she did a beautiful job for us.

"To get the win is really cool for the girls, the team feels like we are in a really nice place and we want to take that on into the T20 series."

Player of the match New Zealand's Brooke Halliday: "The biggest thing was trying to build a partnership with Maddy Green. She's someone I've batted with a lot both domestically and internationally so we said watch the ball and go from there. I think the perk of being left-handed is Maddy is right-handed at the other end so the bowler did have to adjust.

"When we got to the 20 mark, we were comfortably ahead, the way Izzy Gaze went out there and released pressure and made sure we were well in front was really good."

Looking ahead, this series is followed by three T20 internationals - at Derby on Wednesday (18:30 BST) and then Canterbury next Saturday and Hove on Bank Holiday Monday (both 14:30 BST).

Next up are three T20s against India from 28 May to 2 June, and some informal warm-up games will then bridge the gap until England start their World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka on 12 June.

Plenty to be looking forward to.

And that's that - it's a win for New Zealand and Suzie Bates in her final one-day international.

I'm sure she would have preferred to have won on the field, but will still be happy with a win to crown a career that started just over 20 years ago.

The England players are out signing autographs and posing for photos with a crowd of children gathered near the dressing room.

That says game over to me - but we await confirmation.

It's a pretty steady rain now, extreme levels of dankness.

We'll just have to play a waiting game until everyone shakes hands.

You can say both teams are in a bit of transition phase. A lot of new players, a lot of young players and leading into it you think it would be quite evenly matched and that's exactly what we've seen.

Rain stops playpublished at 24.4 overs

24.4 overs

NZ 141-4; need 43 from 50 balls (DLS par 124)

Ah, they're coming off - and that's probably the game.

England bring Lauren Bell back and Brooke Halliday drives her first ball for four - Freya Kemp dives for it in the deep but can only parry it onto the ropes.

A two to backward square follows before the umpires call it.

Even if the weather were to improve we'd lose more overs and New Zealand's target would be pretty minimal.

So we're likely looking at a victory for the tourists and a 1-1 draw in the series.

Izzy Gaze has come out and played nicely here. She's taken a bit of pressure of Brooke Halliday and let her anchor and Gaze has put a bit more impetus in the innings.

Tidy over from Sophie Ecclestone - just three singles from it - but England need wickets.

It really is pretty grim out there - dark and somewhat wet, the players have pink faces and arms from the blood being pumped to the skin surface to warm them up.

I think it's been a series that if you say it's one all, then it's what is deserves.

Another boundary through deep third, Izzy Gaze off Charlie Dean this time - New Zealand's last three boundaries have come through there.

The DLS par is 116, so the tourists are comfortably ahead here.

Ah, Jacqueline Williams is back.

Strong shot from Brooke Halliday, guiding Dani Gibson's delivery down to third for four.

A further single takes her to 33 from 47 balls.

Umpire Jacqueline Williams goes off at the end of the over and is replaced at square leg.

A decent over from Lauren Filer - she'd gone at eight an over from her first 24 balls, but concedes just four singles here.

Hitting the stumps is working well for England today. Only 14% of England’s seam deliveries have been going onto hit the stumps, but with great rewards, taking 4-3.

We will!

Five runs off the over, four of them for Izzy Gaze who sends Dani Gibson's delivery over the ropes at deep third.

The mizzle is turning into drizzle.

Reach the end of this over and that's 20 - we'll have a result even if we're rained off from that point.

If that were to happen, New Zealand would win as they're ahead of the DLS par.

Will we get to the end of the over?
