Tammy Beaumont loving life at the top of the England order with Amy Jones
Tammy Beaumont is relishing her opening partnership with Amy Jones after the pair made back-to-back centuries in England's 143-run victory over West Indies in the second one-day international in Leicester. Beaumont secured her 12th ODI century, just five days after hitting one in Derby alongside Jones, who reached the milestone off just 76 balls, as England posted 366 for six after the 202-run opening stand. West Indies, without captain Hayley Matthews who was ruled out with a shoulder injury, were dismissed for 223 in the 46th over with Realeanna Grimmond hitting a maiden half-century on debut. Beaumont said: 'It's really nice to be batting with Amy at the minute, it's going really well. 'She got the promotion back and we know each other really well. I couldn't have asked for it to go better really, and I think just so proud of her backing up that first century at Derby to do it again today and even better style. 'For her to take that lead role there and kind of look after me as well as go and play like that was just outstanding and I joke with her, I was like, we've got to try and go for the record if we're going to keep batting getting over 200. 'I know we've scored a lot of runs together and I think we've already got a few records for that within England which is just great. 'We compliment each other so well. Obviously, the height difference, but it means we hit different lengths in different areas but I think it makes it quite difficult to bowl at as a pair.' Beaumont was hit with illness before the match and is proud of the way she battled through it to guide her team to another big win. She added: 'I call it man flu, my husband's going to hate me. I'm kind of proud of how I managed it mentally, and kept finding a second and third wind at times. 'I found a bit of gas from somewhere. While Amy was there, my job was to support her and take the pressure off and just get her on strike and then almost my job changed when she got out.'

West Indies head coach Shane Dietz looked forward to facing England, and re-establishing themselves as a world-class team."Going to England is a fantastic opportunity to play one of the best teams in the world for a long time and to really test our skills and put in practice what we've talked about off the pitch," Dietz was quoted as saying on ESPNcricinfo."We brought a good team to England, and we're looking forward to putting on a good performance for the crowd over there and all our supporters watching back in the Caribbean. It's going to be an excellent tour for us to reestablish ourselves as a world-class team with world-class players,' Dietz Indies will play three T20Is from May 21 to 26 before playing a three-match ODI series on May 30, June 4 and June Indies are looking to rebuild after they failed to qualify for the ODI World Cup to be held on Indian Indies Women's limited-overs squadHayley Matthews (capt), Shemaine Campbelle (vice-capt), Aaliyah Alleyne, Jahzara Claxton, Afy Fletcher, Cherry Ann Fraser, Shabika Gajnabi, Jannillea Glasgow, Realeanna Grimmond, Zaida James, Qiana Joseph, Mandy Mangru, Ashmini Munisar, Karishma Ramharack, Stafanie Taylor
