New Zealand v England - England tour of New Zealand - 2nd ODI – New Zealand post 269 – Live Score and Update
New Zealand 269 (48.5 ov) – England won the toss and chose to field
In the second ODI being played between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 and England, at McLean Park, Napier, the hosts have managed to post a decent score of 269 runs on the board in 48.5 overs. A late batting collapse, however, prevented the Men in Black from forging a bigger
total which was imminent when the likes of LRPL Taylor and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BB-McCullum-c1129 were on the crease.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 after scoring only seven runs.
The second-wicket partnership could only take the score to 19, before Anderson struck again by dismissing HD Rutherford, who fell with 11 runs to his name.
The third-wicket partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 was fruitful as the two batsmen avoided an imminent batting collapse as they forged a stiff resistance against the English bowlers.
Finally, with 91 runs on the board the batting side lost their third wicket of the day on the departure of Williamson, who was clean-bowled by Woakes after jabbing a knock of 33 runs.
Taylor was then joined by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GD-Elliott-c1476 as the two batsmen continued their onslaught against the fielding side.
After leading the side towards 143 runs, Elliott was then the next to find his way back to the pavilion after he was dismissed by Finn with 23 runs to his name.
Just when England thought they had New Zealand under the guillotine, Taylor and McCullum crafted another crucial partnership as they turned the tables around with the bowlers facing their wrath.
The batting duo, exhibiting their supreme resolve, led New Zealand towards 243, before the departure of the captain, who was dismissed by Broad after smacking 74 runs.
New Zealand were then wrapped up by Woakes and Anderson as none of them could score in double figures.
Meanwhile, former skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 jabbed a handsome century as he played a crucial role in his side’s score.
Having bowled their opponents before 50 overs is an advantage on England’s side, and they now have to bat with some responsibility to reach the required target of 270 runs.
