Katherine Brunt now has three wickets, having taken just one in all of England's games before this one.
A welcome return to form.
Three singles from Ecclestone's over, who looks frustrated to have not taken a wicket yet in her ... two overs.
Oh, to be that good.

A maiden from Nat Sciver. Tough work for Pakistan, this. Feels like they're better off playing a few shots and going for it, because getting out feels inevitable anyway.

It's all very exciting this World Cup.
Time for some spin for the first time and if there's one bowler I wouldn't want to face in this precarious position, it's Sophie Ecclestone.
Ruthless from Heather Knight.

I was at dinner with you... I don't remember that!

I called Katherine Brunt's performance at dinner last night.
Halfway through, although I'm not sure we'll make it to 50 overs at this rate.
While England are on course for victory, the West Indies are also on top in their fixture. They've reduced South Africa to 25-4, with Chinelle Henry taking three wickets. You can keep up with the scorecard of that fixture here.

What a performance from England's premier fast bowler. Middle stump is lying on the ground - what a sight that is!
Amin b Brunt 32 (Pak 58-5)
Katherine Brunt is back to her best! A beauty!
Sidra Amin's resistance is broken as Brunt bursts through her defence with a lovely delivery that nips back in off the seam.
England are on the charge.
A boundary! I've forgotten what that looks like. Cross strays onto leg stump and Sidra Amin clips it away for four runs, beating Sophie Ecclestone's dive at square leg.
Oooh, umpire's call on leg stump! Sidra Amin survives.
Sidra Amin is under pressure now. She has 28 from 73 balls. Yes, it's slow, but she has to stay there if Pakistan have any chance of posting a half-decent score.
And as I say that, England review an lbw decision against her that is given not out on the field.

It's been 48 deliveries since the last boundary.
A wicket maiden.
It was a poor shot but neither batter was doing anything, or going anywhere. Something had to give.

That wicket is because of poor shot selection - Pakistan are going at just two an over.
Dar lbw b Brunt 4 (Pak 53-4)
Umpire's call! Katherine Brunt is delighted to have another.
Nida Dar had to try something different. To say the innings was going nowhere would be an understatement, so she attempted a kind of sweep to a straight delivery.
England firmly in control, and that wicket felt inevitable.

Nida Dar was trying to break the shackles and it will be close, but I think it's a good shout.
Nida Dar is given out lbw to Katherine Brunt, and reviews it pretty late - which suggests she doesn't think she's hit it.
