2nd NatWest Women's one-day international, Bath: England 103-0 (24.3 overs) beat India 102 (45.1 overs) by 10 wickets
 Taylor showed attacking intent from the start of her innings |
Sarah Taylor became the youngest woman to pass 1,000 runs in one-day internationals as England cruised to a 10-wicket win over India at Taunton. The 19-year-old from Sussex reached the milestone on 16 and went on to hit a six and seven fours in an unbeaten 75. Caroline Atkins played the supporting role with 24 as England reached 103-0 with over half their overs to spare. Holly Colvin (4-20) and Katherine Brunt (3-14) had earlier done most of the damage as India were all out for 102. It was a another hugely disappointing effort by the tourists, who only managed 124 in Saturday's opening game at Bath.  | 606: DEBATE | Brunt had Sulakshana Naik caught by Charlotte Edwards off the second ball of the match and, after a brief rain interruption, the tourists were soon in dire straits on 11-4. Captain Mithali Raj showed the necessary resolve, batting for over two hours for an unbeaten 53, but Asha Rawat (11) was the only other batter to reach double figures. Left-arm spinner Colvin made short work of the tail for her best one-day figures, leaving England with what looked like a straightforward task. So it proved as Taylor and Atkins steered England to a 2-0 lead in the series, with three games to play.
