The England women's cricket team have gone 2-0 up in their five-match Twenty20 series against New Zealand with a 48-run win in Hamilton.

Batting first on Sunday, the tourists got to 7-166, with opener Laura Marsh top-scoring with 48 in a 29-ball innings that included 11 fours.

Marsh, later named player of the match, also took 2-21 as the White Ferns were bowled out for 118 in the final over.

Skipper Suzie Bates was the backbone of the home side's batting effort, the opener getting 37 at a run a ball.

It was the second big win in a row for England, who took game one by six wickets when made to chase just 81.
