Conway hits first century of World Cup

New Zealand opener Devon Conway hit the first century of the Cricket World Cup on Thursday in the opening match of the tournament against England.

The left-handed Conway raised his fifth ODI ton off 83 balls studded with 13 fours and two sixes at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.

Conway and Rachin Ravindra, a left-hander of Indian origin, were in majestic form as New Zealand remained on course for their target of 283.
