Tammy Beaumont enters top three of elite list with spectacular hundred
England opener Tammy Beaumont made her tenth ODI hundred to guide England to a tall total in Belfast against Ireland.
Tammy Beaumont smashed the fourth-highest individual score by an England player in women's ODIs in the second match against Ireland in Belfast.
Beaumont, who previously made 168* against Pakistan in 2016, made 150* off just 139 balls as England piled on 320, the highest total ever made in Belfast in women's ODIs.
With the century, Beaumont went past England legend Charlotte Edwards as the highest century-maker in women's ODIs for England. She now sits at third position in the overall most hundreds list behind Meg Lanning and Suzie Bates.

In reply, England bowled Ireland out for just 45 to script a 275-run margin win. This is the largest margin of victory for England in women's ODIs and overall the eighth-highest margin in women's ODIs.
