    There are wickets on this pitch. England already have one. Here's another from stand-in Pakistan captain Nida Dar earlier.

  2. Pak 10-1published at 2 overs

    Freya Davis finishes strongly with a delightful in-swinger that has England appealing.

    Going down leg and skipper Heather Knight rightly ignores it.

    It is a nervous start from Freya Davies and you can't really blame her. It is as if they are saying: "We are resting our best bowler, do you fancy a game?". She will know she is being watched every ball.

    A reminder, Nat Sciver-Brunt struck a sensational unbeaten 81 from 40 balls earlier.

    Here's how she got to her half-century.

  5. Pak 9-1published at 1.2 over

    A no-ball and a free hit for Pakistan but England get away with one as Muneeba Ali lofts the free hit for just a single.

    Next ball Omaima Sohail shows her partner how it's done with a four through the covers.

    Nervy start for Freya Davis.

  6. Pak 3-1published at 1 over

    Freya Davis is into the team for the first time this World Cup. Her first ball is a wide. A harsh call in my opinion.

    There's a slip in for England.

  7. Pak 2-1published at 1 over

    Brilliant start for England and KSB, a wicket and just two runs from the opening over.

    Heather Knight called on her side to produce the perfect performance before the match. I think her players have been listening.

  8. Pak 1-1published at 0.4 overs

    Omaima Sohail gets Pakistan's first runs with a single through the off side.

    213 to go.

    That is not the best shot to be honest with you. Hopefully we can continue to see Katherine Sciver-Brunt continuing to bowl well.

    There was a bit of relief in that celebration from Katherine Sciver-Brunt.

    Edged and gone!

    England get off to the perfect side as Katherine Sciver-Brunt strikes with the second ball. Sadaf doesn't bother appealing.

    We want to see some intent from Pakistan and putting them under whatever pressure they can.

    Target 214

    Katherine Sciver-Brunt opens the bowling for England, she could do with some wickets.

    Sadaf Shamas blocks the first ball.

    The England fielders are out on to the pitch now. Here's a quick reminder of their record-breaking moment.

    Cheers Tom. Very fun indeed.

    Right then, Pakistan couldn't, could they?

    Well, that was fun.

    What of the Pakistan reply? Here to guide you through it is Joe Rindl.

    England batter Danni Wyatt: "I really enjoyed it out there. We knew the wicket would be nice to bat on. I was really confident going into today's game, to go out there and be brave. We did that today.

    "We've got great depth in our batting line-up so it gives us confident to go out all guns blazing.

    "We've just really enjoyed batting out there today. I'm glad I was batting with Nat Sciver-Brunt who is seeing it like a beach ball at the moment and I'm really glad she's on our team."

    There are no concerns about a few failures at the top of the order. The way England play you are always going to get that.

    To say England were dominant would be an understatement. If this was a boxing match the referee would have stopped it etc etc...

    Some magnificent hitting from Heather Knight's side. That will send out a message to the other teams left in the tournament. But it was a real end-of-term effort from Pakistan though, with some poor bowling and sloppy fielding.

    They need a huge 214 to win.

    No!

    Amy Jones goes for one last huge heave but Tuba Hassan manages to hold onto the catch at deep mid-wicket.
