"Not until after, with her voice breaking a touch as she spoke in her post-match press conference, were there any sign of nerves. "It was a bit emosh to be fair," she said of her maiden international wicket as Dean shook her head with a grin. It had taken all day. That was the first evidence of her youthful side."
"The left-arm spinner was summoned to the attack by Dean after nine overs and was immediately waving her arms to move her own field. There was that maturity again. She bowled accurately, ensuring England did not obviously miss Sophie Ecclestone - the world's number one spinner who sat out the game with a thigh niggle."
Tilly Corteen-Coleman made an assured England debut in Chester-le-Street, showing composure with the ball, in the field, and during a decisive final-wicket partnership that sealed a tense ODI win over New Zealand. She began the day in the outfield, appearing fitter after winter training with England’s senior setup and earning a place in the squad for the T20 World Cup. As a left-arm spinner, she was brought on after nine overs and quickly adjusted her field. She took key wickets, including Georgia Plimmer and Maddy Green, finishing with 2-49. Her accurate bowling helped England cope with Sophie Ecclestone sitting out with a thigh niggle.
