Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor both made centuries as New Zealand earned a three-wicket victory and a 2-1 series lead over England in the third one-day international at Southampton.

A stand of 206 led the Black Caps to a target of 303 with an over to spare. England wasted positions of 194 for 3 and 288 for 5 to be bowled out for 302. Eoin Morgan hit 71, Ben Stokes a 47-ball 68 and Joe Root 54, but being bowled out 26 balls short of using the full 50 overs proved to be decisive.
