JONES FIRING AS ENGLAND FIGHT BACK

AMY JONES revealed a mental refresh following a run drought lay behind her match-winning 92 not out for England as they battled back to beat New Zealand in Wellington.

England lurched to 79-6 after 17 overs chasing 208 in the first ODI but Jones and Charlie Dean put on an unbroken 130 as the tourists sealed a four-wicket victory with 52 balls to spare.

It was a spectacular return to form for Jones who made just 23 runs in four innings in the T20 series, albeit helping England over the line in the final match on Friday with a brief cameo - while she was without an international 50 in 28 innings across all formats dating back to December 2022.
