Updated May 31, 2025
Amy Jones celebrated a long-awaited milestone, scoring her first international century as England seeks to improve it’s approach to 50-over cricket. The achievement marks a notable comeback for Jones after a challenging start to the year.
Jones had previously come close to a century on three occasions, with scores of 94 against India in 2018, 91 versus West Indies in 2019, and an unbeaten 92 against New Zealand in 2024. Nerves appeared to affect her as she was dropped on 92 and 93 during her innings.
the pressure to reach the century was evident, but Jones’s relief was palpable as she embraced teammate Tammy Beaumont after reaching the milestone. Coach Edwards has emphasized the need for England to play smarter cricket, and Jones’s performance is a step in that direction.
Former England seamer Katherine Sciver-Brunt noted the significance of Jones’s innings. “There would have been a few people scratching their heads on why she would be opening the batting,” Sciver-Brunt said. She added, “I am over the moon for her that she has got the first hundred out of the way under some pressure.”
“The last two years she has done that well. I am mega happy for her but the ones that will stand out are the ones that really matter against the best teams in the world.”
What’s next
England faces a sterner test soon with India’s arrival next month. The team will look to build on this performance and continue improving their strategic approach to the game.
