Ross Taylor

Ross Taylor's stunning hundred and Mitch Santner's last-minute fireworks helped New Zealand script a three-wicket victory over England in the first ODI of the five-match series in Hamilton here on Sunday. Coming in to bat first, the visitors set a 284-run target for the loss of five wickets, which the Black Caps achieved with four balls to spare. The match was in a dwindling situation but Santner's 45 off 27 balls swung and a six in the final dropped the ball to the hosts' court.
