Nat Sciver-Brunt’s reaction

Happy days! The bowlers set the game up beautifully. When you’ve got someone only two games into their career who is begging to bowl four overs straight through, it’s a dream. Em was on a roll and it seemed a shame to take her off.

Cricket’s a funny game, isn’t it? I lasted two balls on Wednesday and tonight I get a first-ball boundary.

We set a high standard with our fielding in the first game but I’m pretty sure we topped that here tonight. That’s something that drives the energy in the team.

We’ll head off to Chelmsford and prepare the same as always. We won’t take it [the third and final T2oI] lightly.
