Heather Knight had been at the heart of England’s initial collapse, the captain looking on from the non-striker’s end during the miscommunication that led to Freya Kemp being run out for a duck, but kept her cool to reach 49 from 44 balls – her highest T20i score on home soil. Pakistan, after winning both power plays and reaching 77 for three at the halfway point, eventually collapsed to 110 all out, despite a 21-run stand between Fatima Sana and Sadia Iqbal for the 10th wicket. Glenn finished with four for 12, the leg-spinner’s best figures in an England shirt.
