2nd ODI

New Zealand went and won this one, so that is one each so far in the five match series. England won the toss and elected to bat first. NZ did outplay the England team today.
I will miss the next two matches but will be at Lords for the last one

Handshakes as proceedings got under way

 

Sarah Taylor receiving the first ball

 

I had not seen Danielle Hazell play before, but was impressed with her attitude and application. Unfortunately here she has just been dismissed

 

Suzie Bates impressive bowling and batting got her the player of the match award

 

We were lucky to have another sunny day

 

Katherine Brunt about to have the stumps knocked out

 

We scored a total of 208 but could not get control of the match when NZ were batting and maybe the ball was not bouncing for us today.
I normally support the NZ team when they are playing any other nation but England.
