  2. 'A lot more clinical in the field'published at 18:27 BST

    England captain Charlie Dean: "Brilliant. To win the game like that was phenomenal. To be a lot more clinical in the field with the ball and then chase it down the way we did was really good.

    "Wongy has had a fantastic game and honed in on that wobble ball at the top of the stumps; it's such an effective ball for her. It was really impressive today. On a tricky outfield we really applied ourselves and attacked the ball.

    "I guess in the final game if we can replicate today that would be awesome. Really pleased to wrap up a series and to go 3-0 would be great."

    Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson have been the star lights for England this summer. They were the finishers in the T20 World Cup and played that role again today.

    They are the future of this team, the future all-rounders and they're batting with real maturity now as well as the power and skill we've seen before.

  4. 'We have to keep pushing for consistency'published at 18:22 BST

    Ireland skipper Gaby Lewis: "Pretty disappointing. It was a tricky pitch to bat on and Amy Hunter did well to stick in there but we just struggles to build partnerships and put pressure back on them.

    "They were a lot more accurate and better in the field. There are definitely some positives to take and we'll look to bounce back in the last game.

    "We have to keep pushing for consistency. You have to focus on the positives in these short series because the games come thick and fast."

    Really pleasing for Issy Wong and hopefully she gets the chance to celebrate this moment with her family and friends because it has been a tricky road for her.

    She's still a young player and she's already experienced the ups and downs of international cricket. To see her with such fluency today has been really special.

    She should cherish this moment.

  6. 'My mindset flipped...'published at 18:19 BST

    Player of the match Issy Wong, who took 5-33: "Really pleased. Obviously good to get over the line and really satisfying and I'm looking forward to Worcester now.

    "I had a couple of chats with some of the chats - and our media guy Dean [Wilson] who really flipped my mindset so thanks to him.

    "The outswinger is ongoing and seeing what the team needs from me, but I'm using my wobble seam delivery well."

    England won both these games by six wickets. The run-rate in Leicester in that record chase was 7.41 and today was 7.21. It makes you wonder what total Ireland need to test England.

    England have been the better team in all three departments today - and by a long way. Understandably so given the status of the two sides.

    They've been really good. They didn't look super threatening with the new ball but still managed to take early wickets, Issy Wong was brilliant for her 5-33 and all the spinners chipped in well.

    Ireland were disappointing with the bat, not just the wickets but the dot ball percentage really stung them. They had opportunities to rotate the strike, pick up twos and threes in the outfield.

    England fielded much better, that's where they showed their class, they hunted in packs and really exerted that pressure on Ireland.

    Dani Gibson finishes it off. England have asserted their authority over this Ireland team, bowling them out for 165 and chasing it down in 23 overs.

    A monster six from Dani Gibson, who comes down the pitch to Cara Murray and hammers into a red wheelie bin on the other side of the ropes at long on.

    Dani Gibson is so powerful. When she hits a ball, it stays hit. Just enough on that to clear mid-on.

  15. Eng 151-4published at 21.4 overs

    Kia McCartney drops it a little short to Dani Gibson who rocks back and gives it some bottom-hand bosh over mid-on for four.

    Cara Murray tightens things up in the remainder of the over.

    England still cruising, though.

    Can Ireland find a bit of magic from somewhere?

    Dani Gibson is starting to canter now and pouncing on anything loose or short.

    Dani Gibson takes a big stride down the crease and with a big swing of the bat whacks Cara Murray back over her head for four.

  19. Eng 138-4published at 20 overs

    Freya Kemp has a very steely look at the crease. Never showing any emotion.

    Dani Gibson and Kemp work Jane Maguire around and with a couple of wides there's six runs off the over.

  20. Eng 132-4published at 19 overs

    Freya Kemp slaps Cara Murray over the top for a couple before Dani Gibson mullers a full toss for four.
