WICKET! Ecclestone c Riaz b Baig 2 (England 168-8)Ecclestone has a go, and Riaz collects in front of the Western Terrace.
19th over: England 168-7 (Dean 6, Ecclestone 2) Eight off the penultimate over, Dean scooping four from Sana off her first ball.
WICKET! Jones c Waheeda b Fatima 26 (England 162-7) Jones attacks, wantonly, but it is a slower ball and it falls to Waheeda at point who catches, drops, catches,drops, then finally holds on , dropping to her knees in relief.
18th over: England 160-6 (Jones 25, Ecclestone 1) Jones in the zone. A sweep for four off Iqbal, then, gorgeously, she dances and drives over extra cover for four.
WICKET! Gibson c Sadia b Dar 13 (England 149-6)17th over: England 149-6 (Jones 15) A dolly from Dar, Gibson stretches to sweep, but straight to short fine leg, who catches it fully on the second time of asking.
16th over: England 141-5 (Jones 9, Gibson 11) Gibson top-edges, up, and to third, but is saved because Waheeda Akhtar has over stepped! Two fours from the over – Gibson on the charge – a crash through square leg and flying top-edge.
15th over: England 129-5 (Jones 8, Gibson 1) Two wickets in the over, but England still pick nine off it, as Jones pancakes Dar through midwicket for four.
WICKET! Capsey run-out (Sidra Ameen) 1 England 122-5A few springs falling off the England cart here, the third wicket to fall in six balls. Jones calls for a quick single, it looked very doable but Capsey doesn’t break too much out of a trot. Where, exclaims Alex Hartley on comms, has the dive gone?
WICKET! Knight c Diana Baig b Nida Dar 12 (England 122-4)Catching practice for extra cover.
14th over: England 120-3 (Capsey 1, Knight 12) Capsey stroll in at last, big sighs of relief all round for Pakistan.
WICKET! Wyatt c Sadaf Shamas b 87 (England 118-3)Two balls after letting her slip through her fingers, Sadaf Shamas holds on at deep cover! After being dropped three times, Wyatt is at last on her way. She’s furious with herself but has the bicarb and vinegar into this innings.
13th over: England 111-2 (Wyatt 81, Knight 10) Can Fatima Sana break Wyatt’s hold? Not yet. A couple from the first ball, then Wyatt leaps and delicately angles the bat to upper cut the ball for four. A cracking crowd of 10,00 enjoying this England dominance. Ah they enjoy that too as Wyatt drives, upishly, but extra cover can’t hold on. The fifty partnership off 25 balls.
12th over: England 101-2 (Wyatt 72, Knight 9) Two more big boundaries from Wyatt, who has bashed herself out of some indifferent early-season form. Pakistan must be ruing that drop when she was on 12.
Fifty for Wyatt!11th over: England 89-2 (Wyatt 62, Knight 7) Wyatt has had enough of faffing about and slams Dar’s second ball high and straight, tantalising the fielder, but passing her and landing over the rope. Then a slap over square leg, bring up Wyatt’s half century off 34 balls. A full toss is bashed for four more, then a misfield at backward point brings two. And another complete shocker on the rope at long off brings four more. Twenty from the over.
Sounds like a great morning had by all at Headingley:
10th over: England 69-2 (Wyatt 42, Knight 7) No sign of Capsey yet, as Knight joins Wyatt. An ugly full toss from Waheeda is shovelled for four by Knight. It turns out to have been a no-ball, but Knight can only pick up a single off the free hit. At the half way stage, England haven’t yet hit their straps.
9th over: England 60-2 (Wyatt 40, Knight 1) Dar brings herself on. A tissuey reverse-sweep from Sciver-Brunt brings four. She rubs her knee, which she hurt a couple of overs ago diving to make her ground. NSB then plumps for a repeat of the reverse-sweep, but Sidra Ameen is waiting.
WICKET! Nat Sciver-Brunt c Sidra Ameen b Nida Dar (England 59-2) A dinky reverse-sweep, like you might play on the beach, goes high and drops straight to backward point.
8th over: England 52-1 (Wyatt 38, Sciver-Brunt 3) Waheeda back, but a couple of wides in the first three balls give England easy runs. Wyatt brings up fifty with a dab down to backward point. Clear blue sky at Headingley, well defined shadows creeping under the fielders feet.
7th over: England 46-1 (Wyatt 35, Sciver-Brunt 2) Wyatt eyes up a low full toss and sweeps Fatima for four; next ball Fatima appeals – Wyatt appears to be plumb in front. Indeed, she’s given out on the field, but reviews straight away which shows a deflection onto the pads.
6th over: England 40-1 (Wyatt 29, Sciver-Brunt 2) A dozy mistake from Bouchier who was halfway down the pith before she realised that the ball was on the way back to her stumps. Wyatt just watched, unmoved, from the other end. Nat Sciver-Brunt comes in above Alice Capsey. The end of the power play.
WICKET! Bouchier run out (Diana) 8 (England 36-1)Bouchier drives, and advances down the pitch, but the ball goes straight to point and all Diana Baig needs to do is dolly the ball back to the keeper. Exactly the same dismissal as during the 2nd T20! Bouchier waves her bat in frustration.
5th over: England 36-0 (Bouchier 8, Wyatt 27) Fatima Sana now as Nida Dar rings the changes. At extra cover BAig cuts off a booming Bouchier drive. Four dots, a single, then the pressure punctured as Wyatt pierces the ring and picks up four.
4th over: England 31-0 (Bouchier 7, Wyatt 23) Time for some spin, from Sadia Iqbal. She manages to stop the boundaries, but there are still six off the over.
3rd over: England 25-0 (Bouchier 5, Wyatt 19) A life for Wyatt! She drives (on 12), is done by the swing, and keeper Muneeba Ali leaps to her right: but cannot hold on. Insult to injury for the bowler as she slogs across the line and picks up four more. A near run out adds up to a busy over. England have started brightly.
2nd over: England 16-0 (Bouchier 3, Wyatt 12) Waheeda Akhtar from the football stand end. The first ball is a leg-side wide, then the single accumulation continues until Wyatt shimmies down the wicket and shovels across the line for four; next ball is a lofted off drive for four more.
1st over: England 4-0 (Bouchier 2, Wyatt 2) Diana Baig strides in, a bouncy blow dry, looking for some swing. Not much there and England ease together four singles.
On stroll Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt, followed by Pakistan – past the flames (surely these are passe?) and into the sunshine: it’s a scorcher out there!
England win the toss……and will bat! Runs a go-go. Knight explains her choices: “a reasonable surface, it might do a bit early but then dry out in the northern sun.”

PreambleGood afternoon! Sorry for the sluggish Sunday start this end: to sum up, a picture-perfect sunny day at Headingley, the final of this three-match T20 series, England 2-0 up, an ODI flurry to follow. Pakistan looking for a consolation win – England determined to make it a whitewash.
