Rain delay helps Kiwis beat England

By The Assam Tribune

LONDON, June 13 (AP): New Zealand won a high-scoring one-day international against England by 13 runs on the Duckworth- Lewis method, with a rain delay late in the reply damaging the hosts� hopes of chasing down a target of 399.

Ross Taylor struck 119 to underpin New Zealand�s second- highest 50-over total of 398-5 at The Oval yesterday.

England was 345-7 after 43.5 overs, needing 54 more runs off 37 balls, when play was suspended because of rain.

When the match resumed, the hosts were set a revised target of 379 or 34 runs off 13 and they finished on 365-9.

The Blacks Caps tied the five-match series at 1-1 after England won the first ODI by 210 runs.
