Familiar failings but calm Corteen-Coleman provides England optimism

"It was a bit emosh to be fair," she said of her maiden international wicket as Dean shook her head with a grin. It had taken all day. That was the first evidence of her youthful side.

'A superstar in the making' - teen's journey from dog-sitting to World Cup What impact could England teen Tilly Corteen-Coleman make at T20 World Cup? She looked the part, appearing fitter than in her previous major appearances last summer after a winter with England's senior side on training camps, which led to her earning a place in the squad for this summer's T20 World Cup. The left-arm spinner was summoned to the attack by Dean after nine overs and was immediately waving her arms to move her own field.

She beamed when the first wicket came - New Zealand batter Georgia Plimmer done in the air by some canny flight and picking out mid-off. Corteen-Coleman was hugged by Lauren Bell and then Heather Knight. The latter had already played two seasons for Devon when Corteen-Coleman was born.

In the end, Corteen-Coleman ended with a more than respectable 2-49 as she added the wicket of Maddy Green for 88 in her final over. She bowled accurately, ensuring England did not obviously miss Sophie Ecclestone - the world's number one spinner who sat out the game with a thigh niggle. "I was, for the majority, really happy with my performance," said Corteen-Coleman.
