Brooke Halliday steers New Zealand to series-levelling win
New Zealand’s middle order defied an early Lauren Bell onslaught and turned ghastly conditions to their advantage to draw the rain-hit ODI series against England 1-1 with a 17-run victory on the DLS method in the third and final game in Cardiff. Key partnerships between Maddy Green and Nrooke Halliday, then Halliday and Izzy Gaze put the White Ferns ahead of the required rate when the rain which had hampered play all day long set in. The hosts posted an unremarkable 181 for 7 from 33 overs in a rain-affected inning, with Alice Capsey’s run-a-ball 45 and Amy Jones’s 27 off 21 the only highlights. But with New Zealand initially chasing an adjusted requirement of 184 from 33 overs, Bell ran through their top order in an extraordinary start, taking three wickets for one run in the space of eight balls to leave the tourists 40 for 3 inside seven overs. Worryingly for Bell and England with a home T20 World Cup less than a month away, she was struck hard on her left, non-bowling hand, which was already strapped, in her follow through by a sharp drive from Green. Bell did, however, manage to complete the over before being taken out of the attack and she remained in the field throughout the New Zealand innings, returning to bowl shortly before play was called off for good. Suzie Bates was put down on 12 by Heather Knight at slip off Bell but there was to be no fairy tale in Bates’ 184th and final ODI as Bell pinned her low on the front pad with the next ball. Bell struck again in her following over to snare the big wicket of New Zealand captain Melie Kerr, lbw once more with one that swung on middle and leg. In trouble at 27 for 2, New Zealand turned to Green, their leading run-scorer in the first match in Durham with 88, and 22-year-old Georgia Plimmer, who carries their hopes for a future beyond Bates, joining fellow great Sophie Devine in retirement after next month’s T20 World Cup. But Plimmer’s chance to step up would have to wait after she played across the line of yet another pinpoint accurate Bell delivery and was hit on the front pad in line with leg stump to give Bell her third lbw dismissal and put England firmly in control. Green shared a 57-run partnership with Halliday but, with rain on the way, she was bowled middle stump by a Dani Gibson nip-backer for 37. With rain falling and New Zealand still in control, Halliday and Gaze combined for an unbroken stand of 44 off 43 balls for the fifth wicket. Capsey’s innings was her first for England since the ...
