CHESTER-LE-STREET: England scored a thumping 114-run win over New Zealand in the first ODI here on Sunday. Chasing 308 for a win, the Kiwis used the same ploy as England. Jamie How waited for a bad ball before he played shots, but Brendon McCullum raced to 36 so that fifty came up in the eighth over, compared with the 11 needed by England. McCullum was caught at point in the ninth over and the 16,000 crowd went quiet as the chances of an exciting finish seemed to depend on a long innings from this dynamic batsman. By the 15th over New Zealand was well off the pace when James Marshall was run out by a direct hit from Paul Collingwood. Marshall had made just four from 25 balls. Until the half way mark New Zealand tracked England’s score run for run but when it lost Scott Styris at 116 for five it needed not so much a miracle as a clone of Kevin Pietersen to accelerate their chase. If Jacob Oram had been fit it might have had a chance of scoring 129 off the last ten overs; instead New Zealand lost badly after Collingwood picked up four wickets in 17 balls.
