[QUOTE="shiznit, post: 1066"] Black Caps belt England Jun 30, 2004 Five wickets from left-armer James Franklin inspired New Zealand to a seven-wicket victory over England in the fourth triangular series one-day international at Chester-le-Street on Wednesday. Franklin recorded one-day career-best figures of five for 42, taking advantage of slightly overcast conditions to help dismiss the hosts for 101. The day-night clash then ended well before dark as Stephen Fleming (31) and Scott Styris (23 not out) helped the tourists to their target in 17.2 overs but not before Steve Harmison took three for 38 on his home ground. England, who were all out for 147 in the seven-wicket defeat to West Indies on Sunday, played some thoughtless shots against some good New Zealand bowling and crumbled to their sixth lowest one-day total in just 32.5 overs. They have now failed to win a one-day international batting first in nine games since the World Cup win over Pakistan in February 2003. "We have not played well. Full credit to New Zealand for putting the ball in the right areas but we played some iffy shots," England captain Michael Vaughan said. Vaughan (12) was man-of-the-match Franklin's first scalp, a swinging delivery that hit off stump. Paul Collingwood (2) on his home ground, chased a wide Franklin ball and edged to debutant wicketkeeper Gareth Hopkins before Andrew Strauss top-edged a hook off Franklin to Jacob Oram at fine leg for eight. Franklin then took his fourth wicket in his final over when Ian Blackwell was lbw for five to accompany his four on Saturday. Ashley Giles went next ball, edging to Hopkins, before Franklin's lbw appeal against Darren Gough on his hat-trick ball was turned down. "It was just a case of getting it in the right areas and the result was five wickets," said Franklin, who was playing club cricket in England three weeks ago before being called into the Kiwi squad. New Zealand now lead the table with 12 points followed by West Indies with nine and England with three. England play the West Indies in the next day-night match at Headingley on Friday [/QUOTE]
