Martin Guptil 189 not out against England at Ageas Bowl

Martin Guptill sensing special feeling of becoming New Zealand's highest scorer in a one-day international after scorching unbeaten 189 at the Ageas Bowl . Martin Guptill often played alongside Lou Vincent, who scored 172 against Zimbabwe in 2005. Guptill knock is the fifth-highest ODI score by a batsman and the highest by a New Zealander, and is also the joint highest by any batsman in ODIs against England. West Indies great batsman Sir Viv Richards had scored the same number of runs against them at Old Trafford in 1984 off 170 balls, while Martin Guptill scored his runs off 155 balls.  Martin Guptill's 189 not out included 19 four’s and two sixes, aggregates only 88 of his runs came in boundaries, a % of 46.56. Among the 21 ODI innings of 175 or more, this is the second-lowest boundary percentage: only South African left hander Gary Kirsten's unbeaten 188 against UAE in the 1996 World Cup had a lower percentage - he hit 13 fours and four sixes, scoring 40.43% of his runs in boundaries.
