Tilly Corteen-Coleman: England's 18-year-old spinner and her 'nerves of steel' state the case for T20 World Cup starting spot

Tilly Corteen-Coleman has enjoyed quite the couple of months: a £105,000 Hundred contract secured in March, a call-up to England's T20 World Cup squad in April and then a starring role on her international debut in May.

The 18-year-old spinner more than proved her worth in the side when taking 2-49 on her ODI debut against New Zealand in Durham on Sunday, seeing England over the line with the bat too as she proved a perfect foil for stand-in captain Charlie Dean in their crucial last-wicket stand.

"Tilly was all right, wasn't she?!" Dean joked afterwards. "She showed nerves of steel to bring us home and it was good to get over the line."
