- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.1 panned at extra cover, stunning stop, and Bouchier is stranded! She was running for the shot, but Baig flung herself on the ball like a cat on a mouse, and England were utterly confounded. A quick recovery, firm shy at the keeper and with both batters almost at the same end, it's easy pickings! 66/22.1 full length and Wyatt wafts all around it! Hint of swing, curling from leg stump to middle, and England lose their first! It's been a better start than 11 for 4, but that's a dent in their ambitions. In fact that was mostly just wicket-to-wicket. Poor shot selection 17/111.4 lots of air again, a nick and a stumping for good measure! Capsey's eyes lit up but the ball wasn't there for her hoist down the ground. A thin outside-edge, and Ali was already appealing for the catch when she threw down the stumps as a precaution! Dar equals Schutt as the leading wicket-taker in Women's T20Is! 76/315.1 width, dips on the wide line, Sciver-Brunt is drawn into the drive again, and that's toe-ended to cover! Elation for Pakistan, the ideal time to strike the biggest blow possible! 103/416.4 wristy drive, on the up but straight to long-off! A good take in the deep, Waheeda set herself well as the ball arrived, and the skipper is overboard 109/519.1 lovely flight, dipping as Jones charges! The bails are flicked off in a trice, as Dar becomes the outright chart-topper in Women's T20Is! 127/6Extras2 (b 1, lb 1)TOTAL144/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.2)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 2.1 ov), 2-66 (Maia Bouchier, 10.1 ov), 3-76 (Alice Capsey, 11.4 ov), 4-103 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 15.1 ov), 5-109 (Heather Knight, 16.4 ov), 6-127 (Amy Jones, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 hoicked leg side... but straight to the Mighty Boosh! Bell chimes in for England's first wicket. Ambitious attempt from Feroza, going hard with the swing but it came high off the bat and picked out deep square coming in 8/18.5 oh dear, another mix-up featuring Ameen, and this time England complete the run-out! Full and loopy outside off, dinked to mid-off and although Ameen got most of the way down, there was too much indecision. Aliya decided not to come, Ameen slipped as she tried to turn and Ecclestone had all the time she needed to lob the ball back to the keeper 60/52.5 slashed firmly behind point, POUCHED! Wyatt plunges to her left to hold on with two hands and England have another. Shamas will feel a little hard done by, having nailed her cut shot. But it came at a nice height and Wyatt doesn't miss many 9/25.2 looks to go again, skied back to the bowler! Immediate re-wenge for Ecclestone, who opened up the field on the leg side and tempted the big shot before accepting a simple catch. And on a night of milestones, she has moved past Katherine Sciver-Brunt as England's leading T20I wicket-taker 39/36.3 hit on the back leg, given! Glenn slides a leggie under the bat and wins the decision from Sue Redfern. Dar's sweep fails her again, and off she goes. Would have hit middle and off two thirds of the way up, according to Hawk-Eye 41/412.1 strikes first ball, lobbed straight to backward point! Aliya looks to give it the charge and hoy over the leg side, ends up skewing it off a leading edge and Glenn pockets a simple catch inside the ring. Pakistan beginning to unravel again 71/711.5 cramped for room, dragged on! Fatima was shimmying around in the crease and ended up leaving herself no room to play the cut. Cannons off the bottom edge and into the stumps. England closing in 71/612.4 plinked to mid-off! Capsey pops it on a fullish length and Baig leans into an attempted thrash down the ground, only to dolly up another easy chance to Ecclestone on the edge of the circle 72/815.3 skidding on and sliced to point! Waheeda decides to have a dip and heaves lustily across the line, but the top edge doesn't go far. Safely pouched by Glenn again and the end is nigh 79/915.5 chipped in the air... and held by a swooping Gibson! Mid-on and mid-off were both in the game but in the end it was Gibson haring across to her left to throw herself full length as Dean took evasive action. That completes a comprehensive 65-run win, sealing the series with one to play 79/10Extras13 (lb 2, w 11)TOTAL79 all out (15.5 Overs, RR: 4.98)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Gull Feroza, 2.1 ov), 2-9 (Sadaf Shamas, 2.5 ov), 3-39 (Muneeba Ali, 5.2 ov), 4-41 (Nida Dar, 6.3 ov), 5-60 (Sidra Amin, 8.5 ov), 6-71 (Fatima Sana, 11.5 ov), 7-71 (Aliya Riaz, 12.1 ov), 8-72 (Diana Baig, 12.4 ov), 9-79 (Waheeda Akhtar, 15.3 ov), 10-79 (Sadia Iqbal, 15.5 ov)
