That’s all from me. Pretty comofrtable in the end for England but they’ll know a much-improved show with the bat will be required as they progress.

Keep an eye out for Raf’s report.

Thanks for keeping me company. Til next time.

Finally, Heather Knight, England’s captain, had this to say:

It was really nice to get the win. Conditions were really tough out there, especially for batting and boundary hitting., Really pleasing to get the win.

We weren’t far off par but we’ll be aiming for 135 if we play on that type of wicket again. It’s what we prepared for but we need to find a way. it’s not going to be beautiful and it’s not going to be sexy all the time in these conditions, we’ll have to graft a bit. It got lower and slower as it went on.

We felt like Linsey [Smith] would be effective. It was a tricky decision but we feel it was the right one.
