McCullum fires NZ past England

CAPTAIN Brendon McCullum led the way with the bat while his bowlers produced a disciplined display to beat England by 55 runs in the second Twenty20 international at Seddon Park in Hamilton yesterday and level the three-match series.

McCullum had anchored New Zealand's innings to power the host to 192 for six with 74 runs from 38 balls. Mitchell McClenaghan, who took two wickets in successive balls in the second over, Trent Boult and Ian Butler then put the England batting line-up under constant pressure with aggressive pace bowling. Butler finished with two for nine from four overs, while McClenaghan had 2-24. James Franklin mopped up the tail to finish with 4-15 off 3.3 overs. Jos Buttler produced a cameo of 54 but received little help as England was dismissed for 137 in 19.3 overs.
