We put a couple of partnerships together which is crucial when you are chasing," said man-of-the-match and captain Fleming. <P>Nathan Astle was yorked by Steve Harmison for a useful 53 after being dropped by Strauss on 20. <P>Andrew Flintoff earlier hammered his first one-day century as England recovered from a poor start to post 237 for seven. <P>Flintoff, playing solely as a batsman because of a foot injury, hit 11 fours and two sixes. He was eventually bowled by Ian Butler for 106 trying an outlandish shot over square leg. <P>Strauss ably assisted him in a partnership of 122, scoring 61 off 86 balls before skying a Butler ball to Astle in the leg side. Butler finished with three for 57. <P>The hosts have not won a limited overs game batting first in 10 matches since the World Cup in 2003 and had an awful start when opener Marcus Trescothick (1) was run out. <P>Captain Michael Vaughan's (12) poor one-day form continued when he hit a loose stroke off Jacob Oram straight to Chris Harris, playing in place of the rested Chris Cairns. <P>"We were happy with the total we got but the way Stephen came out...he took the game away from us," said Vaughan. "We are not too disappointed with our performance." <P>England gave a debut to 22-year-old seamer Sajid Mahmood but he struggled going for 56 off seven overs. <P>New Zealand qualify for the Lord's final with 22 points, with West Indies and England both on 10. <P>England play West Indies at Lord's in the next match on Tuesday.</P><P>Scoreboard</P><P><STRONG>England:<BR></STRONG> M.Trescothick
