Kiwis Cruise to ODI Victory Over England Despite Brook's Ton

In a thrilling one-day international clash, hosts New Zealand emerged victorious over England by 4 wickets on Sunday. Batting first, England were in early trouble as Kiwi seamer Zakary Foulkes ripped through their top order, reducing them to 10-4 and then 56-6. However, England captain Harry Brook led a remarkable recovery, striking 11 sixes on his way to a career-best ODI score of 135. Brook's heroics helped England post a modest total of 223.

In response, New Zealand also lost early wickets, but Daryl Mitchell's unbeaten 78 and a solid 51 from Michael Bracewell guided the Kiwis to 224-6 with over 13 overs to spare. Mitchell's innings was aided by a dropped catch when he was on 33. The victory puts New Zealand 1-0 up in the 3-match ODI series.

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner praised his new-ball pair, particularly the impressive Foulkes, who was playing only his second ODI. Despite Brook's brilliance, England were unable to defend their total as the Kiwis cruised to a comfortable win.
