England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt hailed a “special” innings from Heather Knight as a superb century by the former skipper helped secure a four-run win over India to book a World Cup semi-final spot.
Knight, whose summer was hampered by a hamstring problem, marked her 300th international appearance with an excellent 109 which was the mainstay of England’s 288 for eight, with India fighting back to take a flurry of wickets.
