England v Pakistan: Danni Wyatt’s 87 helps hosts to 3-0 series win

This series has been one-sided but there remains both positives and negatives for England as they build towards the World Cup in the autumn.

Wyatt will, once again, be a key player in Bangladesh and after scores of one and six in the first two matches of the series, showed her familiar range of wristy flicks, sweeps to leg and drives through and over the covers in her 48 balls.

Having been dropped by wicketkeeper Muneeba Ali, diving low to her right across first slip off seamer Diana Baig, Wyatt accelerated by taking 20 runs from the 11th over, bowled by spinner Dar, including three of her 12 fours and a high six over long on.

Wyatt was dropped twice more, a simple chance at mid-off and a tougher opportunity diving forward at deep extra cover, before finally being taken by Sadaf Shamas in a repeat of the latter.

Against stronger opposition, England may have been punished for the lack of other contributors, however.

Wyatt’s opening partner Maia Bouchier was run out for the second match in a row – she set off for a single after driving straight to point – while there were rare failures for Nat Sciver Brunt and captain Heather Knight, who made eight and 12 respectively before chipping tame catches.

Alice Capsey was run out for one and Danielle Gibson caught at short fine leg for 13, having already been dismissed by a no-ball on one.

Amy Jones, named player of the series for her runs and work with the gloves, was the only batter join Wyatt in passing 20 with her 26.
