5th ODI vs England
ENG Innings
299/8(50)K Pietersen 132, A Strauss 92
J Oram 4-65 T Southee 2-25
NZ Innings
277(47) C McMillan 60, R Taylor 59
A Flintoff 4-39, P Collingwood 3-48
ENG win by 22 runs
ENG win series 3-2
England won through an outstanding partnership between Pietersen and Strauss. They put together 224 runs in 33 overs for the 2nd wicket and in the end we were lucky to restrict them to under 300. We chased valiantly but it wasn't our day with Taylor, McMillan and Ryder all getting starts but all failing to score the match-winning hundred we needed. We put it all out there and I think 3-2 it a fair reflection of the 2 sides.
