- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.2 length in the channel, chipped up to point and taken! This was how Wyatt was out against Thailand, and how she offered an early chance today. Slashes at one outside the off stump, too much bottom hand in the shot, and it spoons up to the fielder in the ring! Safe hands from Muneeba Ali 47/20.5 slightly full of a length, outswinger, struck on the pad and given! Convincing appeal from the bowler, might it have been going over? Jones has a long chat with Wyatt, and belatedly decides to review. Can't have been long left on the timer. Used her feet to come down the pitch, looking to whip through midwicket. No bat involved, confirms UltraEdge. Impact in line, and clipping the bails, so it's umpire's call and Menon's on-field call stands! 4/111 outrageous stumping down the leg side! Slipped down the leg side first up, Sciver's weight was going forward as she looked to work out to midwicket. The back foot came up, Sidra Nawaz waited for her to lift the back leg, and whipped the bails off after a great take while mis-sighted. Huge breakthrough for Pakistan! 81/318.6 slugged out to long-on on one knee, and Diana Baig holds on sliding forward on her knees! Made it look like an easier catch than it perhaps was, and Knight looks frustrated, thumping her front pad with her bat as she trudges off. Two in two for Nida Dar on her 100th T20I appearance! 152/617.5 pings back the off stump! Pace-off, slower ball, tailing in towards the off stump, slightly full of a length. Wilson cleared the front leg trying to mow through midwicket, couldn't get bat on it, and it crashes into off stump half way up! 138/418.5 length ball, Beaumont uses her feet and mows it out towards cow corner... Muneeba is under it on the rope, juggles it awkwardly, and just about clings on! Beaumont isn't sure about it, but Muneeba raises her finger herself, telling her she has to go, and it's definitely a clean catch despite the juggles! 152/519.2 pace-off again, Brunt skips down the wicket to meet it, can't get bat on it, and Sidra Nawaz's lightning-quick gloves do the rest! Wickets tumbling for England, Aiman gets her third. Threw it a touch wider as she saw Brunt coming 153/7Extras8 (lb 1, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL158/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Amy Jones, 0.5 ov), 2-47 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 5.2 ov), 3-81 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 11 ov), 4-138 (Fran Wilson, 17.5 ov), 5-152 (Tammy Beaumont, 18.5 ov), 6-152 (Heather Knight, 18.6 ov), 7-153 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.5 cruises through the gate for the ultimate comeback! A beauty from Shrubsole, took all the pace off the ball, served up the cutter, and nibbled off the seam through a loosely aligned defensive push 11/16.3 now that's a comeback! Javeria plays around a straight one, and back goes her leg stump! Superb from Glenn, she held her nerve, and her line, and it was the Pakistani who wavered, changing her stroke at the last minute and missing out on a flaccid flick to leg 39/35.4 ramped, to her doom! Maroof inverts her stance, looking to lift Brunt over the keeper's head, but she wore that shot on her thumb, and as a consequence it had no pace at all. A simple lob to Jones, and that's Brunt first wicket of the tournament 35/29.2 big appeal and that's plumb! Well, it looks plumb, but Pakistan are reviewing. Round the wicket, dipping into a planted front pad, inside-edge is surely the only salvation here... nope, no wood... and that is thumping middle! 50/58.1 tossed up and ping, next batsman please! Stump to stump accuracy from Glenn, as this one loops and dips on a very full length, slipping under a loosely wafting drive to pluck out the off peg! 48/412.5 an inside-out slap over the covers, and smartly plucked by Ecclestone! Big leading edge over point, it's not an easy catch, always slightly out of reach but she's a tall girl and makes it look simple enough in the end 62/618.5 wicket to wicket, and hits the wicket! Can't argue with that from Shrubsole, a slower ball, slightly back of a length, eludes an ambitious slog across the line, and a very fine battling innings is over 112/817.1 tossed up, luring the loose slog-sweep, skidding through everything, and back goes the middle stump! Ecclestone starts her final over with intent 101/718.6 caught and bowled first ball! That's Shrubsole's 100th T20I wicket, and she had to work for it, changing direction in her followthrough to cling onto a looping return poke. Another fine day's work from the 2017 World Cup heroine 112/919.4 squeezes the pads from round the wicket, and that's the end of that! Shaping into the left-hander, struck in front of middle and leg. England win by 42 runs to get their campaign firmly back on track 116/10Extras19 (b 1, lb 1, w 17)TOTAL116 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 5.89)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Muneeba Ali, 2.5 ov), 2-35 (Bismah Maroof, 5.4 ov), 3-39 (Javeria Khan, 6.3 ov), 4-48 (Iram Javed, 8.1 ov), 5-50 (Nida Dar, 9.2 ov), 6-62 (Omaima Sohail, 12.5 ov), 7-101 (Sidra Nawaz, 17.1 ov), 8-112 (Aliya Riaz, 18.5 ov), 9-112 (Diana Baig, 18.6 ov), 10-116 (Sadia Iqbal, 19.4 ov)
