Flintoff powers England

AFP, Bristol
Andrew Flintoff's maiden one-day international hundred powered England to 237 for seven, the best total of the tournament, in their NatWest Series match against New Zealand here Sunday.
Lancashire all-rounder Flintoff, dropped on nought, made 106 in his 73rd-one dayer, after England had slumped to 57 for three.
The hosts were indebted to a fourth wicket stand of 122 between the 25-year-old Flintoff and Middlesex captain Andrew Strauss, who was dropped on one, before making 61.
Both batsmen were floored by the luckless Hamish Marshall.
All the completed matches in the series had been won by the side bowling first and New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming, who had won all his tosses in the tournament so far, inserted England in overcast conditions.
New Zealand, for whom victory here would guarantee a place in the July 10 final at Lord's, had an early breakthrough.
Marcus Trescothick was still on nought when he edged left-arm quick James Franklin. However, wicketkeeper Gareth Hopkins dropped a chance that was heading straight to Fleming at first slip.
But after taking a single, Somerset left-hander Trescothick was run out coming back for a second when Ian Butler's throw from third man was safely gathered by Hopkins.
England came into this game having failed to win a one-day international batting first in 22 matches since beating Pakistan in Cape Town at last year's World Cup.
But Vaughan himself was unable to propel England towards a big target himself as his poor run of one-day form continued.
On 12 the Yorkshire opener's loose drive off Jacob Oram went straight to Chris Harris at cover.
His exit meant Vaughan had scored just 39 runs in his four series innings.
Left-hander Strauss was dropped in the gully by Marshall off
Oram.
Marshall then missed another chance when he floored Flintoff at backward point, denying Scott Styris a second wicket in his first over after he had Robert Key caught off his first ball.
Medium-pacer Harris, called up for the injured Chris Cairns, came into this match on 199 one-day international wickets - a New Zealand record.
He thought he had his 200th
when he appealed for caught behind against Flintoff, on 23, but it was not to be.
Flintoff later pulled Harris for six over mid-wicket.
Strauss reached his fifty with an on-driven four off Butler in 80 balls with six boundaries.
He fell when a leg-side pick-up off Butler was well caught by Nathan Asstle.
Flintoff, unable to bowl because

of an ankle injury,, went into the 90s with a pick-up six off Butler and a single off Oram took him to a hundred in 118 balls with two sixes and 10 fours.
Paul Collingwood chipped in with a useful run-a-ball 20, helping Flintoff add 50 in 43 balls.
