ENG Women vs PAK Women, 1st T20I at Birmingham, ENG v PAK (W), May 11 2024 - Match Result

Round the wicket, bouncer shoots up quickly outside off, slices it in the air towards point where Kemp is stationed; she is caught, as easy as you like and England win by 53 runs but the margin of victory doesn't tell you how exhilarating this contest was. Pakistan were 50/1 in the powerplay and fought well in patches but not for long periods of time yet they proved they are not a pushover by any means so this could be an engrossing series

Pace-off delivery from back of the hand, good length on off, eased down to short cover and is very keen on scampering a run

Lots of flight and lands it full on middle, calmly defends it

Inadvertently plays it to cover-point, was a fuller delivery on the toes

Tossed up, wicket to wicket, defends it with aplomb, immaculate defense

Tossed up just outside off, driven exquisitely into the covers for a run

Gee, she hit that well !Skips down the track and hammers it aerially past extra cover for a four. That is audacious, that will give her plenty of confidence. Absolutely leathered it away with conviction

Round the wicket, length on off, steps forward and pats it to cover-point

Defends it behind square on the leg side

Goes for a muscular slog sweep and gets the desires result, like that approach and valor. Picked it early and panned to the rope, fielder runs back only to see it trundle past the rope

Round the wicket, fuller and slower on middle, gets behind the line and defends it right under her eye

Back of a length outside off, gives herself room and glides it away in the empty are at deep third man and this boundary also brings up 100 for Pakistan. That is deliberately done with finesse and poise.

Loads up for a full-blooded sweep and is early through the shot, stifled appeal for an lbw, not given and referred upstairs. No deflection on the ultra-edge, pitching outside leg so we won't go any further, third umpire has been kept very busy today

Round the wicket, overpitched and outside leg-stump but that is stunning artistry from Jones who saves a few extra runs, there is a slip in place

Over the wicket, tossed up fuller just outside off, prodded down to long-on

Pulls her length back and it's floating away outside off, tries to cut but can't connect in the end

Play and a miss. Awkward back of a length zone at an innocuous pace in the channel

Round the wicket, back of a length, shaped the ball in and lulled her into a false sense of security before jagging the ball away from the batter, she read it well and tapped it into the covers

Slightly short and outside off, mistimed the cut to cover-point

Slightly short and zipping in from outside off, inside-edge towards square of midwicket
