Lauren Bell took her first five-wicket haul in any form of senior cricket as England wrapped up a narrow one-day international whitewash against New Zealand at Bristol on Wednesday.
The match was reduced to 42 overs a side due to a 95-minute rain delay but New Zealand had nevertheless posted their highest total of the series – 211 for eight. But Bell’s interventions cut off promising innings from the captain, Sophie Devine, half-centurion Amelia Kerr and left-hander Brooke Halliday.
