ENG vs NZ 3rd Match CB Series 2007 : New Zealand beat England by 58 runs
Jan 31, 2007
New Zealand continued England's touring woes with a 58-run win in the Commonwealth Bank cricket series.
With Australia already assured of a spot in the finals, New Zealand and England are vying for the other place. And the New Zealanders dominated, posting 318 for seven and then restricting England to 260 for eight.
The New Zealand batsmen set up the win, with Lou Vincent (76) and Ross Taylor (71) sharing a 137-run stand for the third wicket and Jacob Oram slamming 54 not out from 33 balls near the end.
Oram smashed 22 off the penultimate over and 35 off his last 10 balls and helped lift New Zealand to its highest ever total against England in a limited-overs international.
England must win both of its last two matches - one against Australia in Sydney on Friday, and the other against New Zealand at Brisbane next week - to have any chance of reaching the finals.
The English have not beaten Australia in any form of the game this southern summer and have notched only one win, against New Zealand in the tri-series.
