Stokes powers England
Ben Stokes shook off any rust following an enforced break with his 11th ODI half century as he guided England to a six-wicket win over New Zealand in the second game of their five-match series in Mount Maunganui yesterday. Stokes only made his return to international cricket in the first match in Hamilton on Sunday after an incident outside a Bristol nightclub last September led to him being charged with affray and being stood down by selectors. He entered a plea of not guilty on February 13. The 26-year-old scored 63 not out and combined with captain Eoin Morgan (62) in an 88-run stand as the visitors cantered to 225-4 in 37.5 overs to level the series at 1-1. Stokes also claimed two wickets and was responsible for one of New Zealand’s four runouts as the hosts were bowled out for 223 with two balls remaining.
