England vs New Zealand ( The Oval, 2015)

New Zealand pulled off a close match against a revamped England at The Oval

New Zealand: 398/5

England: 365/9 in 46 overs

This was one of those games which neither side deserved to lose. And to top it all rain too had a definite say in the match. A series which saw the resurgence of a new England in One Day Internationals. Specialists were brought into the team and this yielded sparkling results for them.

This was the 2nd game of the series. England had already scored 400 in the first match and were brimming with confidence. New Zealand scored 398 in the first innings as Ross Taylor scored his 13th ODI century, and other batsmen chipped in with handy contributions right through. New Zealand posted a huge first innings score.

The new England set about the chase with some aplomb as the opening partnership put together a breezy 85 in 12.3 overs. Captain Eoin Morgan then played an outstanding innings of 88 in 47 balls and England seemed all set to chase the total down. England needed 54 off 37 balls when rain interrupted proceedings.

24 runs from the final seven deliveries, but then Tim Southee pulled off a sensational catch at the boundary to seal the deal for New Zealand.

763 runs were scored in the match which is the third highest runs scored in a One Day International.
