    If England can just turn a few of these dots into ones then the run rate will take care of itself.

  2. Eng 80-2published at 11 overs

    Sadia is quickly through her third over, but manages to keep Sciver tied down for a while. Just six runs from the over - Pakistan have done their best to squeeze England since the powerplay.

    England are setting themselves up for a 160+ score.

    Especially if their captain can hit a few more shots like this...

  4. Eng 78-2published at 10.1 overs

    Knight lofts Sadia back over her head for a first-bounce four.

  5. Eng 74-2published at 10 overs

    The England players sitting in front of the dug-out are all shivering as their innings approaches the halfway point. More of the same from Knight and Sciver, four singles are taken before Knight pulls the reverse sweep out of her locker, and Sciver charges through for a single.

    With so many wickets in hand, England must be aiming at 160 - which you'd think would be enough...

  6. Eng 69-2published at 9 overs

    Sciver 33 (24 balls), Knight 13 (14)

    Some sensible, risk-free cricket from the England third-wicket pair, who plunder three singles from Sadia's first four balls before Knight takes aim at the cow corner boundary - did the ball hit the fielder's arm as she slide-tackles the rope? There's a check upstairs - and the third umpire reckons it's four.

    Here's how it ended for Danni Wyatt:

  8. Eng 62-2published at 8 overs

    A single to deep cover means the England skip has 11 from 11 balls - Sciver has 28 from 21.

    When you bowl at world-class players like Heather Knight and Nat Sciver you need to have your fields and plans exactly right.

    If these two get going, they could cause real damage to Pakistan.

  10. Eng 61-2published at 7.4 overs

    A cut so delicate, it could have been done by an expert seamstress - that's four more for Knight.

  11. Eng 57-2published at 7.2 overs

    Pakistan turn to their fifth bowler inside eight overs - right-arm seamer Aliya Riaz, whose second ball is expertly drilled down the ground by Heather Knight for four to long-off.

  12. Eng 52-2published at 7 overs

    Sadia Iqbal, brought back into the side today, is on to bowl her left-arm spin - Sciver brings up the fifty for England by guiding a two to deep mid-wicket.

    Hannah Needham: I love love love watching Heather Knight play. Such a fantastic batter.

  14. Eng 48-2published at 6 overs

    Sciver 24 (16 balls), Knight 1 (4)

    Knight, fresh from her unbeaten century on this ground on Wednesday, shows Aiman a straight bat but can only take a single off her fourth delivery.

    A decent powerplay for England - but Pakistan will be pleased to have removed the openers.

    A brilliant low catch!

    Wyatt c Muneeba b Aiman 16 (Eng 47-2)

    We've seen some awful fielding today, but this catch is right out of the top drawer - Wyatt cuts, and bespectacled opener Muneeba Ali takes a superb low catch to send Wyatt back to the pavilion.

    Send for England captain Heather Knight!

    England are racing along now.

  18. Eng 40-1published at 4 overs

    Wyatt 14 (9 balls), Sciver 19 (12)

    Sciver gives Nida the charge and whacks her down the ground for four - while a misfield by captain Bismah Maroof at extra cover allows the ball to rocket away for four more. 12 from the over, all in boundaries.

  19. Eng 32-1published at 3.3 overs

    Off-spinner Nida Dar, aka "Lady Boom Boom", into the attack. She's playing her 100th T20 international today - but Sciver has no sense of occasion as she effortlessly flips a four over her left shoulder.
