Having posted 138 for six after electing to bat first, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side restricted the hosts to 104 for five in the stipulated 20 overs. Opener Vishmi Gunaratne (1) was trapped in front by Deepti Sharma in the second over of the match before Radha Yadav struck twice in three balls to remove Chamari Athapaththu (16) and Harshitha Madavi (10) and pushed the hosts on the backfoot. Middle-order batter Kavisha Dilhari tried her best as she scored an unbeaten 47 but she too scored under a strike rate of 100 and could never help her team when the asking rate was above 9 runs per over in the last 10 overs. Nilakshi de Silva (8) was dismissed by Pooja Vastrakar while Ama Kanchana became Shafali Verma's victim for 11.

Seeking a 3-0 whitewash with victory at Headingley, England resumed play on the third day hopeful Jonny Bairstow and Jamie Overton would steer them into a first-innings lead. Bairstow added to his overnight 130 to go past 150 in expedient fashion and, though Overton (97) was denied a Test century on debut, England claimed a lead of 31 runs as they were bowled out for 360. 1 51778 Tom Latham (76) produced his best batting effort of a difficult series, but New Zealand slumped from 152-2 to 168-5 after a rain break in the evening session to leave Mitchell and Blundell nursing a lead of 137 when rain stopped play. Bairstow was fluent once more after the morning session got going, his 150 the second-fastest in England's Test history as it came in 144 balls. Overton was evidently more nervous and his hopes of a hundred went when he chased an off-stump delivery from Trent Boult and edged to first slip.

With McCullum and Ben Stokes in place as the new red-ball coach-captain partnership, England recorded a 3-0 series win, with each triumph including chases of more than 250 runs, a first for a team in a single Test series. After winning just one of their previous 17 Tests, it represented an incredible turnaround for England, who do not have long to wait until their next outing. With the rescheduled Test against India due to start on Friday at Edgbaston, McCullum is hoping to see England's positive approach replicated. "It'll be quite good fun to look at a new opponent," said McCullum, as reported by ESPNcricinfo. "The world Test champions were a formidable opponent to overcome, and the alarm bells have probably gone off somewhat around world cricket as to how this team is going to play. "We need to make sure against a different opposition we're well researched, well planned, well prepared, and try and roll out a similar kind of performance."
