New Zealand went into the final of the NatWest Series with a six-wicket win over England despite home all-rounder Andrew Flintoff's maiden One-Day International hundred.
New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming led from the front with 99 as the Black Caps, chasing 238 - the highest target of the tournament - won with 16 balls to spare.
Craig McMillan was three not out and Jacob Oram 10 not out as New Zealand finished on 241 for four.
Hamish Marshall, who had earlier dropped Flintoff on nought and England's second top scorer Andrew Strauss - who made 61 - on one, atoned with 55 before he was run out by Paul Collingwood's direct hit as Fleming looked for the single to get him to three figures.
He put on 104 in 97 balls with Fleming facing 51 balls himself with six fours.
It was Marshall's second fifty in as many days after his man-of-the-match winning 75 not out in Saturday's win over the West Indies at Cardiff.
New Zealand sped towards their victory with an opening stand of 122 between Fleming and Nathan Astle (53).
But Fleming a run short of his century, chipped medium-pacer Collingwood to Strauss at mid-wicket. He faced 126 balls with one six and 10 fours.

Sajid Mahmood had a tough England debut, the 22-year-old Lancashire quick's seven overs costing 56 runs.
For England this was the tenth time in a row they'd lost a one-day international when they'd batted first.
But they will qualify for the July 10 Lord's final of this triangular event if they get a bonus point win against the West Indies at Lord's on Tuesday.
Lancashire all-rounder Flintoff made 106, putting on 122 for the fourth wicket, with Middlesex captain Strauss after England declined to 57 for three.
Flintoff, unable to bowl because of an ankle injury sustained in last month's third Test against New Zealand, told reporters between innings: "It was nice to get away with a dropped catch.
"I desperately wanted to get a one-day international hundred because it was the one thing missing. Hopefully, I can chip in and get a few more."
Flintoff, commenting on his injury, added: "I can't bowl just at the minute.
"The ankle is not quite right at the moment - hopefully it will be in the next 10 days or two weeks."
Astle on 20 he saw Strauss at cover drop a fierce cut off Harmison with New Zealand 39 without loss.
However Astle, dropped on 52 off his own bowling by Harmison, fell one run later when he was yorked by the Durham quick.
After a 15-minute rain break Fleming on 88, was dropped by wicket-keeper Geraint Jones, standing up, off Collingwood. Next ball Fleming lofted the medium-pacer for six.
All the completed matches in the series had been won by the side bowling first and after Fleming inserted Englan the trend continued.
England's top order collapsed with opener Vaughan caught at cover for 12.
Vaughan's exit meant he'd scored just 39 runs in his four series innings.
Medium-pacer Harris, called up for the injured Chris Cairns, came into this having beeen stranded on 199 one-day international wickets - a New Zealand record - for five games.
He thought he had 200 when he appealed for caught behind against Flintoff, on 23, but it was not to be.
Flintoff went into the 90s with a pick-up six off Butler.
Then a single off Oram took him to a hundred in 118 balls with two sixes and 10 fours before Ian Butler bowled him in the last over.
