8.19pm:Right - that's it from us here. Join us on Sunday for the second ODI at Taunton!

8.16pm: England captain Heather Knight: "Scrappy, is a good word (for that performance). There were certainly areas we can improve. At the end of the day, we got the result. It was quite tricky to force the game on that wicket. There are a lot of things we can tidy up."

8.13pm Sophie Ecclestone is player of the match, with figures of 3 for 26: "I think I got away with a few there because of my cold hands. It's just about bowling my best ball for longer (in ODIs). I think we didn't get enough runs, really. We should have got a few more with our batting line-up. We wanted to take wickets early and have good intensity, and we did."

8.05pm: It wasn't as easy as the last 10 overs made it seem, but Pakistan were always going to struggle when they began needing a couple of boundaries an over. The hosts were a long way short of their best with a staggering 40 extras (the biggest contributor in Pakistan's innings), of which 31 were wides

Bell to Nashra Sandhu, no run, It's over. Finally. An edge dribbles through to Jones after a second bounce and England have won by 37 runs, their lowest margin of victory over Pakistan. With that, they take a 1-0 lead in the series

Bell to Nashra Sandhu, no run, Drive out to mid off. They think about a single but Nashra sends Najiha back who dives to get back in her crease. The throw is off target anyway

Glenn to Najiha Alvi, 2 runs, Dabbed so fine that it's gone through Jones' legs. Cross hauls the ball back. They're checking whether there was contact with the sponge... but replays are inconclusive. Stays as a couple

Bell to Najiha Alvi, no run, Leading edge... but just short of Knight running in from extra cover. What sweet release that would have been...
