BULAWAYO, FEBRUARY 18: England muddled their way to a one-wicket victory over Zimbabwe at the Queen’s Sports Club on Friday to take a 2-0 the four-match One-Day International series.

The tourists almost threw away a winning position when, with just 12 runs needed for victory and five wickets in hand, they lost four batsmen for five runs. Only an edged two through the slips from number 11 Alan Mullally saw them home.

The England victory was built around a stirring all-round performance from Craig White. The man-of-the-match added a studied 26 at a crucial time for England to go with his five wickets after the Zimbabweans, put into bat on an overcast day, were all out for 131.
