She tried a reverse sweep, no edge, it looks straight...

Knight is given out LBW but is reviewing!

Mackay's second over doesn't threaten much as Knight and Sciver work it around for three more singles.

Georgie Heath: You've heard of the 3pm lull but I bring you the 3am lull right now. Could do with England fireworks now please. The louder the better.

Another productive over for England as Knight touches the final delivery fine for another boundary.

Another change here as Frances Mackay's off-spin is seen for the first time today.
She keeps a natty pair of shades on as she bowls, and there's consternation as the ball just misses the top of leg stump from the fifth! But the next ball sees Knight play a beautiful reverse sweep for four behind point.

Jack Rule: Halliday giving me very much Jasprit Bumrah vibes with that action.

Knight drives into the off side, and while the ball is pulled up short of the boundary they still get three as two fielders double-team the retrieval and throw.

BBC Test Match SpecialThis bowling (Halliday's) is much like Stephan Shemilt's - there's a sense of off the wrong leg, arms everywhere and bizarrely effective.
I've seen Stephan's bowling up close, and it's memorable, I'll give you that....

The soft signal was not out, and the review upholds that decision.
Umpire reviewpublished at 02:55 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2022
She certainly does! She throws both arms up, off the wrong leg almost .
Wow! Sciver drives to extra cover and Green seems to have taken a catch! The fielder says no, but they are reviewing....
