  1. Eng 60-6published at 13 overs

    Close!

    Charlie Dean pushes at the first ball of Nashra Sandhu's over and sends the ball looping just over cover for a single.

    Alice Capsey gets through the rest of the over and drives the last ball out to deep cover for one. That gets her off the mark from her 12th ball faced.

    Let's not panic, Australia were 78-7... only problem for England is both their 'Beth Mooneys' are already out.

    England are having one of those days.

    Em Arlott coming in later on is the only thing England have going for them now. She needs to come in next in this situation.

  4. Eng 58-6published at 12 overs

    Charlie Dean is the new batter and gets off the mark with a single as Sadia Iqbal finishes the over she began before drinks.

    I make it that, where ball-by-ball data available, this is the first time in women's ODIs that four players have been bowled out inside the first 10 overs. Has happened only once in men's ODIs (India, v Pakistan, Chennai Dec 2012).

    Drinks being taken and England are collapsing in a heap.

    For any Pakistan fans (and any England supporters who are gluttons for punishment), here is how it all started...

    No-one would have predicated this. We would have been expecting England to bowl Pakistan out very quickly if they won the toss but it is happening the other way around.

    What a fantastic review from Pakistan! Sophia Dunkley has a long, slow walk back to the dugout.

    Where on earth do England go from here?

    Dunkley lbw b Sadia 11 (Eng 57-6)

    Hitting leg stump - England are in big, big trouble.

    No bat, no glove and the ball hits her pad in front of middle stump.

    The angle takes it onto leg stump and Sophia Dunkey has to go.

    Sadia Iqbal has her second and Pakistan are in dreamland.

    Sophia Dunkley has gone to that paddle sweep a couple of times but has she missed this one?

    Eng 57-5

    Here we go again.

    Sophia Dunkley tries to sweep Sadia Iqbal and if she hasn't got any bat or glove on this then she is in trouble.

    Given not out but Pakistan review.

    Good from Pakistan. They have got the field in and a slip in place - they don't want to give away those easy singles.

    Another uncertain shot from Sophia Dunkley. There was a bit of turn there for the left-armer Nashra Sundhu.

    Tentative from these two batters.

  15. Eng 55-5published at 11 overs

    More spin now as left-armer Nashra Sandhu is into the attack.

    Sophia Dunkley gets herself in a tangle, playing off the back foot and is struck on the pad.

    Big appeal but given not out and Pakistan decide not to review this time.

    Just one from the over as Alice Capsey is beaten by a ripper to end it.

    Emma Lamb in all one-day cricket (domestic + International):

    Top 3: 61 innings, Avg 44, 5 hundreds

    Number 6: 3 inns, Avg 6

    Emma Lamb has never batted outside the top three in a professional 50-over match, until this World Cup.

  17. Eng 54-5published at 10 overs

    Powerplay done, it finishes with a wicket maiden, and that about sums it up.

    A dream start for Pakistan, and a dreadful start for England. Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey are tasked with digging them out of a hole that is getting bigger by the over.

    Again, Emma Lamb was confused whether to go forward or backwards on that shot. She did not know what to do.

    Alice Capsey and Sophia Dunkley need to form a partnership here.

    Emma Lamb is beaten by the spinner! Another nice bit of bowling - it goes straight through the defence of Lamb.

    Lamb b Sadia 4 (Eng 54-5)

    England are five down!

    It gets worse for England as Emma Lamb is cleaned up by Sadia Iqbal.

    The right-hander played on the back foot to a ball that looked pretty full and it skids on between bat and pad to crash into the timbers.

    This is one way to take the rain out of the equation...
