  1. Eng 19-4published at 4.1 overs

    Ooof, Amy Jones clips the ball just short of the diving fielder at backward point.

    England really don't need to be offering Pakistan any more chances.

  2. Eng 18-4published at 4 overs

    An over without a wicket? How humdrum.

    Two wides down the legside from Sadia Iqbal before the England pair work five more off the bat.

    A lot of people expected this series to be one-sided. England have a structure and some genuine world-class players.

    Pakistan have shown they are here to play.

    This is England's worst score at the fall of the fourth wicket.

    They have played almost 200 T20 internationals.

  5. Eng 11-4published at 3 overs

    Amy Jones comes to crease with a big rebuild job on her hands - this is how she'll have expected to spend her hundredth T20 international.

    She blocks out the last ball of the over.

    There was a one there but Heather had given up before Freya started. Kemp sacrificed herself in the end.

  7. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 2.5 overs

    Kemp run out 0 (Eng 11-4)

    You don't argue with KSB - Freya Kemp is well short.

    The England batter never looked comfortable, playing and missing at a couple of Waheeda Akhtar deliveries that hooped in, and tried to get off the mark with a drive down the ground.

    She was sent back by her captain, but was well short of the crease before Muneeba Ali collected and whipped off the bails.

    Disaster for England.

    Kemp is definitely out.

  9. Umpire reviewpublished at 2.5 overs

    Am I solely just going to be writing about wickets in this innings? It looks like we might have another one here...

    Freya Kemp was sent back by her batting partner Heather Knight and was scrambling for her crease. She might be run out.

    The message from Jon Lewis in the dug out will be keep going but what does that mean? Does the shot suit the pitch and the pace of the bowling?

    Nat and Heather Knight would be able to adapt but the younger players need to learn.

    The shots have not been great.

    This is extraordinary.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 2.1 overs

    Capsey c Ameen b Akhtar (Eng 11-3)

    Well, if they were in trouble before, what are England in now?

    This time Capsey goes - she balloons Waheeda Akhtar's delivery into the air and it's another simple take in the field.

    I put it down to nerves. It is not often we fill stadiums. This one is practically full. There are a lot of nerves.

    It was all about creating a bit of pressure. This is a big start for Pakistan.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 2 overs

    Wyatt c Gull b Sadia 1 (Eng 11-2)

    And another one!

    Spin at the other end as Pakistan introduce Sadia Iqbal to bowl to Danni Wyatt. She appears to be itching to send her into the stands, and cross-bat slogs another simple catch into the hands of Gull Feroza at mid-on.

    England in trouble.

    Capsey wasn't sure whether to leave that or not. It was a confused shot.

    The keeper has missed it on the inside edge.

  17. Eng 8-1published at 1 over

    Almost another!

    New batter Alice Capsey inside-edges her first ball - although it's almost off the rear of the bat - and it just wrong-foots keeper Muneeba Ali and runs away for four.

    Capsey defends the following ball to complete an action-packed first over.

    That is a huge start for Pakistan. After all of the build-up about Maia Bouchier...

    Bouchier was trying to get the momentum going but is was a mis-execution. She will be disappointed with that.

    England do have a long batting line-up.

  20. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 0.4 overs

    Bouchier c Dar b Akhtar (Eng 4-1)

    Oh no!

    Maia Bouchier had just got off the mark with a four around the corner, but now she's walking back to the pavillion.

    She plays early and chips the simplest of catches to captain Nida Dar at mid-off.

    A fantastic early breakthrough for Pakistan.
