    Jones st Koncharoenkai b Boochatham

    Gone! Thailand strike, second ball!

    What a start! Amy Jones comes shuffling out of her crease to Boochatham's second delivery, misses it and wallop, off come the bails! Thailand go charging around in celebration as Jones walks off, a duck to her name.

    Ooft, and Jones plays an awkward cut first up!

    Amy Jones will face the first ball from Nattaya Boochatham...

    However this game goes, the fact Thailand are here competing well on the world stage is brilliant.

    A reminder that Danni Wyatt has scored an international T20 ton on this ground...

    Here come the Thailand players, followed out by Wyatt and Amy Jones for England.

    Hello! And thanks very much.

    Manuka Oval is very, very lovely. I'm a big fan of Canberra so far.

    And with no further ado, it's over to Amy Lofthouse at Manuka Oval to talk you through the first part of the game.

    Good luck, Amy - and a very happy birthday to you!

    It's pretty snappy. We're into "God Save The Queen" almost immediately.

    Anthem time! Thailand's rather jolly and upbeat tune is up first.

    England have gone with this batting line-up in case they lose early wickets.

    I think Tammy Beaumont is wasted down the order, but then where do you put her in? Nat Sciver is the right call at three and Fran Wilson has shown her worth at five.

    Rather like in Perth, the teams have to assemble in a tunnel with disco lights before walking out to the middle.

    Thailand were really impressive in the field against West Indies. If they can squeeze England's batters, who have struggled to get off the mark, they could put England into a bit of strife.

    England bowled well to keep themselves in the game against South Africa so it reallly is about improving their batting.

    Clear skies over Manuka Oval, just the odd bit of fluffy cloud.

    Messrs Duckworth, Lewis and Stern? You can go back to the hotel.

    I'm happy England are batting first because they need to get confidence in that line-up

    If you've not read it yet, you might also like to peruse England captain Heather Knight's latest BBC Sport column - in which she recounts the surreal experience of minding her own business in the gym in Perth while listening to "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" - only for legendary Queen guitarist Brian May to walk in...

    You'll be able to follow in-play clips on both of today's games if you're in the UK - but if I can flag up one of the tournament highlights for me so far, it was India opener Shafali Verma's 39 from 17 balls, including four sixes, against Bangladesh on Monday. Take a look.

    I went out to the middle when we arrived at the Manuka Oval early this afternoon - it looks an absolute belter of a pitch. I can understand Thailand bowling first, given that it's their strongest suit, but if England get off to a flyer...
