Match Summary: England 335/9 (50 overs) lost to New Zealand 339/5 (49.3 overs) by 5 wickets

New Zealand and England played out a thrilling 5-match ODI series recently and the highlight of the tour was the fourth ODI at Dunedin which saw Black Caps veteran Ross Taylor play one of the greatest ODI innings of all time to help his side chase down the target of 336.

Centuries by Jonny Bairstow and skipper Joe Root saw England score a mammoth total of 335 runs and when the hosts lost both their openers - Martin Guptill and Colin Munro - without scoring, it seemed the series was lost as far as they were concerned.

Taylor had other ideas though as the 34-year-old turned back the clock to score an unbeaten 181 off just 147 balls to guide New Zealand to a five-wicket win thereby keeping them alive in the series.
