Guptill powers NZ to series win over England
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 03 - 06 - 2013

SOUTHAMPTON — Martin Guptill blasted a majestic unbeaten 189, the equal fifth highest score in One-Day International cricket, to propel New Zealand to an 86-run win over England at the Rose Bowl Sunday.
Guptill, 26, carried his bat through the New Zealand's innings for the second successive match as the visitors scored 359-3 in 50 overs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Jonathan Trott struck an unbeaten 107 in England's reply but it was always battling in the face of the imposing target and lost wickets at regular intervals before being bowled out for 273.
After New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum won the toss and elected to bat under blue skies, Guptill smashed 19 fours and two towering sixes in a 155-ball stay.
He combined for partnerships in excess of 100 runs each with Kane Williamson (55), Ross Taylor (60) and McCullum (40 not out) on the way to another century after guiding his team home at Lord's Friday.
England's bowling attack, once again minus the injured Stuart Broad and Steven Finn, lacked depth on a flat pitch.
Only James Anderson threatened consistently as Jade Dernbach conceded 87 from his 10 overs and Chris Woakes struggled through just seven overs.
New Zealand kept England captain Alastair Cook under pressure throughout its innings with some clever running between the wickets while Guptill, in particular, was brutal on anything loose to propel his side to the fifth highest score in the game's history.
A massive 132 of New Zealand's runs came in the last 10 overs. — Reuters
