Southampton: Martin Guptill made the highest one-day international score by a New Zealand batsman as the Black Caps took an unbeatable 2-0 lead in their series with England on Sunday. Guptill's 189 not out was the cornerstone of New Zealand's 359 for 3 at Southampton - the largest total England had conceded in a home ODI.
England, despite Jonathan Trott's unbeaten 109, could only manage 273 in reply as they lost by 86 runs, with 35 balls of their innings left, as New Zealand gained a measure of revenge for their 2-0 Test series whitewash by Alastair Cook's men. This defeat, which saw an attack again missing injured seamers Stuart Broad (knee) and Steven Finn (shin), struggle, raised questions about the hosts England's prospects in the one-day Champions Trophy tournament that starts on Thursday and ended a four-year unbeaten run in home ODI series.
The 26-year-old Guptill's innings surpassed Lou Vincent's previous New Zealand record of 172 against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in 2005, and was the equal fifth highest score in ODI history. This was also the opener's second hundred in as many matches after his 103 not out powered New Zealand to a five-wicket win at Lord's on Friday. Only Mark Greatbatch, in 1990, had previously made an ODI century for New Zealand in England, when he too scored back-to-back hundreds.
But, as happened at Lord's, Guptill was again dropped on 13 with Chris Woakes once more the unlucky bowler when a pull went straight through
