Twitter Reactions: England thrash New Zealand in rain-curtailed 2nd ODI at The Rose Bowl
The second One-Day International (ODI) of the New Zealand Tour of England 2023 unfolded at The Rose Bowl, where England locked horns with New Zealand. In a rain-curtailed encounter, England emerged victorious by a margin of 79 runs, showcasing their dominance in both batting and bowling departments.
England Innings: 226/7 (34 overs)
England’s innings witnessed a mixture of spectacular strokes and calculated partnerships. Liam Livingstone was the star of the show, scoring a magnificent 95 runs off 78 balls, anchoring the innings with 9 fours and 1 six. Jos Buttler (30 runs off 25) and Sam Curran (42 runs off 35) provided valuable contributions to propel England to a competitive total of 226-7.
However, New Zealand bowlers, led by Trent Boult (3 wickets for 37 runs) and Tim Southee (2 wickets for 65 runs), managed to keep England from posting an even more substantial total.
New Zealand Innings: 147/10 (26.5 overs)
Chasing a target of 227, New Zealand’s batting order faced a stern test from England’s bowlers. Daryl Mitchell (57 runs off 52) played a resilient innings, but the rest of the Kiwi batsmen struggled to build substantial partnerships. England’s bowlers put up a formidable performance, with Reece Topley (3 wickets for 27 runs) and David Willey (3 wickets for 34 runs) being the standout performers.

Outstanding from Liam Livingstone. His highest ODI score of 95* helped rescue England from a precarious scenario in Southampton. From 55-5 to 226/7 in a 34 over match. Excellent support from Sam Curran. New Zealand will feel like they've let England get away here. #ENGvsNZ pic.twitter.com/Bolqm4jy3f

Today’s Liam Livingstone is the one we all hoped to watch regularly since he broke onto the scene. Because he has given us doubts…
Please just do this consistently until the end of the WC 🙏
It’s a very big ask of course but he’s surely near his very destructive best today. pic.twitter.com/vUwtLw5Uax
