England outclassed New Zealand to win the Women's World Cup with a thrilling four-wicket victory in Sydney.

Nicki Shaw, a late replacement for the injured Jenny Gunn, was the unlikely hero, claiming 4-34 as the Kiwis were dismissed for 166 in 47.2 overs.

Openers Sarah Taylor (39) and Caroline Atkins (40) calmly took England to within touching distance of the target.

England wobbled slightly - losing five wickets for 40 runs - but won with relative ease despite a nervy finish.
