Best shots of Devine's 50
Time for us to say goodbye.
England and New Zealand will go into a series decider at Hove on Monday (14:30 BST) after Sophie Devine drove the tourists to a 14-run win.
Take a read of Ffion Wynne's tale from Canterbury to see how the match played out.
We'll see you on the Bank Holiday - have a good evening.
England lose two wickets in two balls as Knight and Bouchier depart
Heather Knight and Maia Bouchier probably weren't going at the rate required to take England home, but their dismissals from consecutive deliveries were a blow for the hosts.
Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson had to come in and start swinging straight away, and were ultimately left with too much to do.
New Zealand skipper Amelia Kerr: "When you are four down in the powerplay you are not in a good position so for Sophie Devine and Maddy Green to have that partnership gave us a chance. It was incredible to watch.
"We have been in this position before against South Africa in an ODI at 3-3 and posted 300 so we have shown we an post a big score. I think when games get tense and close you need to be able to hit sixes. Also we pride ourselves on our fielding and we know how important that is to win tournaments."
England captain Charlie Dean: "Losing from such a brilliant position always hurts. Credit to Sophie [Devine] and Maddy [Green], I guess it shows how having set batters in the last 10 really matters in T20 cricket. We were in a good position to chase it down, but we lost a couple of wickets at crucial times.
"I felt like we needed to get one more wicket and we could really be through New Zealand, but I think it's hard to bowl three overs in the powerplay, even for someone of Linsey Smith's quality. I'll reflect on some of my decisions."

Player of the match Sophie Devine: "Really pleasing win. England bowled fantastically well up front and from four down we really showed the growth of the group. The wicket was trickier than we initially thought. My partnership with Maddy [Green] was fantastic. A confidence building result for us.
"For a player like me I don't like sitting back so there's a real trust and confidence in the group. We turned the wheel after the 10-over break. I'm enjoying my cricket and what I have left on the international scene. I will be the biggest fan of New Zealand when I hang up the boots but I have another month or two to go."

I worry for New Zealand when Sophie Devine retires. What we have to do is take New Zealand for what they are in the summer, is a team which has Devine in it. She has done it again and they have her for the World Cup.

New Zealand had lost eight T20s in a row against England before this one. I think it's more about New Zealand coming back from the situation they were in a 11-4.
Teams gone by would have been rolled for 80 which shows the confidence as world champions. They can get themselves out of situations.
Eng 156-6
A six to finish, but the match is New Zealand's!
A fun three-ball cameo from Issy Wong, ramping Lea Tahuhu's penultimate delivery over the keeper for two and then closing the game by slamming one down the ground.
Just England's second six, Sophie Devine hit six of her own, while Maddy Green added two.
New Zealand level the series at 1-1.

It's great for Lea Tahuhu that Melie Kerr has given her this last over. She now has 99 T20 international wickets.
Freya Kemp backed herself to hit over the top but couldn't.
Kemp c Plimmer b Tahuhu 14 (Eng 148-6)
Freya Kemp tries to clear the ropes... and finds the fielder.
A lusty blow off Lea Tahuhu and she reaches Georgia Plimmer, stationed right on the ropes at long-off.
New Zealand are going to win by a decent margin here.
Jem Green
CricViz data analyst
Batting in the closing overs has been a struggle for England over the past year.
In the final four overs of a T20I innings their average run-rate in this phase has been 8.5 RPO, while losing a wicket every nine deliveries.
With a required run-rate in excess of 12 RPO when the final four overs began in this match, it was always going to be a tall order for the hosts.

This is a learning curve for England heading into the India series and the World Cup.
24 needed from six balls
We're pretty much done here.
Amy Jones hands the strike to Freya Kemp immediately with a single, and England's all-rounder adds a four through mid-wicket.
A couple of dots either side though, England needed to send all of those away to the ropes.

It's a pace-on delivery from Bree Illing and it's done for Dani Gibson. She and Freya Kemp have been left too much to do by Heather Knight and Maia Bouchier.
Gibson b Illing 12 (Eng 141-5)
Cleaned up!
Bree Illing returns, bowling round the wicket, and she dismisses Dani Gibson with her first ball.
A big heave across the line from Gibson, who gets nowhere near the ball and sees her stumps splayed.
Henry Moeran
Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
It's a tough ask from here for England.
30 needed from 12 balls
Melie Kerr's first four balls go for three runs, but she hangs her fifth wide of Freya Kemp's off stump and the all-rounder pummels it through long-on for four.
Kemp then takes a massive heave at the last ball of the over but can't connect.
Kerr is done with figures of 1-28.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on Test Match Special
I would say New Zealand are favourites. Dani Gibson can find the rope but with manipulation rather than power. England don't have someone like Sophie Devine who can clear it.
A huge difference has been the six count.
37 needed off 18 balls
Crucial fours!
Dani Gibson hits back-to-back fours off short balls from Sophie Devine, cutting aerially through point and then absolutely slamming the ball through mid-wicket.
That second one really flew!
14 runs off the over - England need 12.33 runs per over from the remaining three.

A good time for New Zealand to pick up back-to-back wickets. Who will stand up now for England between Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson? It could be a battle between these two for one spot in the middle order during the World Cup.
