Guptill ton leads Kiwis to easy win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 01 - 06 - 2013

LONDON — Martin Guptill's fluent unbeaten 103 led New Zealand to a comfortable five-wicket victory over England in the first One-Day International at Lord's Friday.
Guptill shared a third-wicket partnership of 120 with Ross Taylor which laid the platform for the touring side to chase down the target of 228 with 3.1 overs to spare.
England, which completed a 2-0 win over New Zealand in the Test series Tuesday, started well after being put into bat, Alastair Cook and Ian Bell sharing a smooth opening partnership of 45.
But Bell, on 18, edged Tim Southee through to wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi and the captain fell in identical fashion for 30.
Jonathan Trott and Joe Root repaired the damage with a third-wicket stand of 67 before England lost three wickets in quick succession. Chris Woakes made 36 and Tim Bresnan 25 but England's batsmen never got on top of a disciplined attack backed up by excellent fielding and 227 for nine was a disappointing total.
New Zealand made a terrible start to its reply when it lost two wickets in James Anderson's first over. Ronchi was caught by Graeme Swann at second slip and Kane Williamson was brilliantly taken one-handed by wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.
But Taylor and Guptill produced the best batting of the day.
The second match in the three-game series is in Southampton Sunday.
Duminy returns with 150 not out
