Growing Greenway and ton-up Gunn

England’s Lydia Greenway has moved up a place to fourth in the International Cricket Council women's one-day international rankings with her runs against India.

The 26-year-old left-hander has usurped Australia’s Alex Blackwell and is now immediately behind team-mate Sarah Taylor.

Greenway missed the first two ODIs through injury but returned with scores of 20, 24 and 37 not out as England came from two down to win 3-2.

...Meanwhile Jenny Gunn has been reflecting on going past the 100-cap mark for her country.

Gunn, who was awarded a 100th England cap by skipper Charlotte Edwards in the last game of the Nat West series against India on Wednesday, said:

"I did not think I would play one game for England, let alone 100. It was a special occasion and I am just happy we won the game."

Reflecting on the highlights of her international career, she added: "Whitewashing Australia in Australia was special and obviously the two World Cup and Ashes wins.

"There has been quite a lot already, but hopefully there are still a lot more to come. I do not know (if she could get another 100). Maybe if my body holds up.”
