  1. England reviewpublished at 12 overs

    What about this one?!

    Amy Jones is convinced Fatima has nicked this one behind.

    Was there an edge?

  2. Not outpublished at 17:08 British Summer Time 11 May

    It's closer than I thought but not out.

    The ball would have hit leg stump but not enough to overturn the on-field decision.

    Fatima Sana survives.

  3. England reviewpublished at 11.4 overs

    Has Heather Knight got a dinner reservation?

    She sends an lbw shout off Sarah Glenn upstairs.

    I reckon this one is optimistic.

    I liked the shot option. I liked the thinking. She wanted to keep the scoreboard ticking but England's fielding is sharp.

    Dar c Bouchier b Glenn 5 (Pak 83-5)

    And now skipper Nida Dar follows!

    She went for the big hit over the leg side but picks out Maia Bouchier in the deep.

    It's a good catch from Bouchier too. England are closing in.

  6. Pak 83-4published at 11 overs

    Need 81 from 54 balls

    What has new batter Natalia Pervaiz got?

    Pakistan need quick runs.

    She's been absolutely barbequed there, miscommunication between her teammate there.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:02 British Summer Time 11 May

    Sadaf run out (Capsey) 35 (Pak 79-4)

    Soft!

    Nida Dar sets off for one that is never there. Alice Capsey loops the throw in and Sadaf Shamas way out.

    They don't even have to check the replays.

  9. Postpublished at 17:01 British Summer Time 11 May

    Charlie Dean continues for England. She got things going earlier...

  10. Postpublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 11 May

    Cheers Mike. How are we?

    England were 63-4 but it feels like this is going their way.

    Pakistan need 87 from the last 60 balls.

  11. Pak 77-3published at 10 overs

    Two more for Sadaf Shamas, lashing into the covers. She's rattling along on 34 from 23.

    The teams are taking drinks, and I'm off myself - here's Matt Henry to see you through.

  12. Not outpublished at 9.4 overs

    No, that's come off the glove!

    The decision will be overturned.

  13. Umpire reviewpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 11 May

    Sue Redfearn's finger is raised!

    Was Nida Dar struck on the pad as she turned the ball around the corner from Sarah Glenn?

    England think so, the Pakistan captain isn't so sure.

    I think Pakistan are well set here, we've talked about them needing that momentum of the older players like Dar to form those partnerships.

  15. Pak 72-3published at 9 overs

    A single brings Sadaf Shamas back on strike and she cracks Sophie Ecclestone through the covers for four.

    Ecclestone reigns the tourists back in a little with four consecutive dots.

    Pakistan don't have the depth that England do, England know they've got to get out those experienced batters out early.

  17. Pak 67-3published at 8 overs

    Captain Nida Dar emerges from the Pakistan dressing room and sweeps her second ball behind square to retain the strike.

    That looks like an awful dismissal, it's the type that they never want to watch again, it makes her look a bit silly really.

    Muneeba Ali c Jones b Glenn 10 (Pak 66-3)

    Oh!

    Muneeba Ali departs, attempting a cute shot to work Sarah Glenn behind the stumps. She succeeds only in popping the ball up off her arm to Amy Jones, who looked a little surprised as she took the catch.

    Pakistan's new young batters look good, they're shaping up well. It's noticeable, its bearing through, the players are really starting to kick on.
