NZ 264/9 - Latham 140*
NED 146 all out - De Leede 37; M Bracewell 3/21
8:50pm - NZ WIN BY 118 runs
Well, on paper it was never in doubt, but the Netherlands gave the Blackcaps a closer run than they'd have wanted.
Credit to the Blackcaps for fighting back though, clawing from 32/5 to post 264, before the bowlers stepped up to deliver a series win. Michael Bracewell stands tall as the best bowler on the night, and to think he might not get another chance to play for New Zealand after this series!
That's all from us for tonight, so make sure to join us again on Monday for game three, as we say goodbye to Ross Taylor.
Until then!

Good afternoon! Today's forecast is for some cloud cover over Hamilton, but there shouldn't *touch wood* be any rain.
Hamilton will host the last two matches of this series, giving Ross Taylor the chance to bow out of international cricket on a high.
Taylor averages more than 62 with the bat at Seddon Park in ODIs, so here's hoping he gets the chance to add to that today.
The toss is around 30 minutes away, so we'll bring you all the news from the middle as soon as we can.
******
Kia ora, good afternoon and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the second Blackcaps v Netherlands one-day international at Hamilton's Seddon Park.
These two teams squared off in the series-opener at Mt Maunganui on Tuesday, with the hosts taking an easy seven-wicket victory, with a couple of newish names leading the way.
With 12 frontline players away on Indian Premier League duty, this three-match series gives a chance for others on the periphery of the national squad to stake a claim for future playing time.
Opener Will Young and bowler Blair Tickner took their opportunities best, with Young finally converting his start into a maiden international century and Tickner flirting with a debut five-wicket bag.
Of course, these matches also mark the end of Ross Taylor's international career and he will hope for a bigger contribution to victory, after he was bowled for just 11 at Bay Oval.

Blackcaps' Young 'incredibly proud' of maiden international century
Fresh from his maiden century in Blackcaps colours, Will Young is happy to finally convert a 50-plus score into three figures for his country.
With New Zealand missing 12 frontline players to the Indian Premier League for the three-match one day series against the Netherlands, Young finds himself filling the boots of captain Kane Williamson in the batting order.
Batting at No.3 in the series-opener, Young played an innings Williamson would have been proud to call his own, scoring 103 not out, as the Blackcaps chased down 203 runs to win by seven wickets at Mt Maunganui's Bay Oval.
The innings was Young's first international century from 20 matches and 24 innings in all forms of the game, after struggling to convert five test half-centuries and one in T20 format.
Now that monkey's finally off his back, Young can reflect with pride on his achievement.
"Obviously, it was my first hundred with the fern on my chest, so I'm incredibly proud," he says. "I've had some opportunities over the three formats and to get the hundred today is icing on the cake.
"I'm really happy."
With such a large contingent unavailable for selection, Young is now among the senior players in the current side, despite just three ODIs since his debut last year.
But his newfound status saw Young present debutant and Central Districts teammate Blair Tickner with his ODI cap, an honour usually reserved for leaders within the Blackcaps hierarchy.
"That was a really special moment," Young adds. "Ever since Ticks has come back to Hawke's Bay from Australia, he's toiled away for the Stags.
"He's had opportunities in T20 cricket for the Blackcaps and he's done really well there. To get his ODI debut and not too far from home, as his dad and fiancee came to watch, and for all the family scattered around the country watching him, I'm sure it was a really proud moment.
"To give him his hat was a cool way to celebrate that, as we're good mates."
Like Young, Tickner, 28, seized an opportunity he might not have received, had the Blackcaps stars been available.

From a complete 10-over spell, Tickner took figures of 4/50 - fourth best for a Blackcaps debutant - and although he fell one wicket of claiming outright first, his efforts were still reason to celebrate an outstanding start to his ODI career.
"For Ticks to come on first change, as he's done domestically so many times before, to come on and bowl quick and force the issue, it was awesome to see him get two wickets in his first spell and the wickets kept coming.
"He had a real crack for the five-for on debut, which would have been special, but the Netherlands tail hung in there.
"He's over the moon with his four wickets."
