England v South Africa: Emma Lamb hits maiden international century in dominant victory
Tryon 88; Sciver 4-59, Brunt 3-18England win by five wickets; lead multi-format series 4-2Emma Lamb's maiden international century led England to a dominant five-wicket win over South Africa in the first one-day international at Northampton.
But she showed glimpses of her class and fine form during her knock of 38 in the Test match and grabbed her next chance here with aplomb. Unfortunately for South Africa, the departure of Dunkley only brought in Sciver, who continued her imperious form with a brutal half-century. Shrubsole, 30, retired from all formats of the international game in April while Brunt, 36, stepped away from Test cricket, making this her first international appearance since the World Cup final in March.
For South Africa, meanwhile, there are real concerns. The bowling attack offered little threat, the batters looked short of confidence other than Tryon and Wolvaardt and Van Niekerk's inspirational captaincy was missed more than ever.'It couldn't have gone much better' - reaction"I'm obviously feeling great. It is a bit of a dream come true.
