Cheers. Well that knock by Heather Knight made a very early start worth it.
A fine array of sweeps, pulls and drives before some even bigger hits to finish.
Seek out the highlights if you're just joining us.
How will Thailand go?

Andrew Stanton: From 7-2 to 176-2. Good recovery after a poor start in the first two overs. Heather Knight - a captain's knock.

England captain Heather Knight: "We're happy with that after a tough start. Nat came out and was very calm and then we tried to put on a lot more at the back end.
"I love batting out here, the pitch is very true and it runs away quickly over the outfield. Nat punched back under pressure brilliantly and then we kept that partnership going."

And some more big blows from the skipper:

Here's some of Heather's highlights:

England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialBrilliant from Heather Knight but we can't forget about Nat Sciver either. She got off to a fast start and then gave her captain great support.
Here's how Sciver reached 50:
Eng 176-2published at 20 overs
Knight can't get the fifth ball away, but helps herself to two off the last - so she finishes with 108 not out from 66 balls. (We're looking forward to Heather's next BBC Sport website column for the inside story on this!).
Nat Sciver should also be congratulated for her supportive 59 from 52 balls, coming in as both openers fell without scoring.
So, Thailand will need a mammoth 177 to win.

England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialA brilliant knock. She came in with England in real trouble. She's got everyone slating her batting line-up. And she's played a real captain's innings.

Pressure off now - Knight hoists Suttiruang for a six over cow corner.

Eng 168-2
It's an awful ball outside off stump, Heather Knight whacks it to deep point for two and that's her first T20 international century!
The helmet comes off and the crowd rises to salute the skipper.
Eng 166-2published at 19.2 overs
Well done Nat Sciver, a single to long-on. Knight back on strike, on 98.
Eng 165-2published at 19.1 overs
Knight pushes into the off side, they run one, she wants two, but there ain't two there, and she's lost the strike...
Eng 164-2published at 19 overs
Sciver 58 (51 balls), Knight 97 (61)
Another single from Sciver, Knight drills to deep mid-wicket, will that make the boundary? No, it's cut off - but a single ensures she will face the first ball of the final over. She has 97 from 61 balls.
