Claire Taylor scored an impressive 90 as England's women continued their good form with a 124-run win against an Eastern Province-Border Invitation Women XI.
After winning the toss, England A made a steady start with Charlotte Edwards scoring a careful 40, and Jane Smit contributed 26. The key partnership, however, was between Taylor and Lydia Greenway, who hit 22. The pair added 79 for the fourth wicket.
England's score of 225, in 42.4 overs, proved far too much for the EP-Border, who nevertheless used up all 50 overs to reach 101 for 9. Beth Morgan took 3 for 24 and Jenny Gunn claimed 2 for 18.
It represented a good work out for England ahead of the first one-day international tomorrow.
