England captain Heather Knight speaking on BBC Two: “I think if we are honest the scoreboard flattered us, we did some good things today but we were probably a little off the pace. It was desperation to get going, a big crowd and trying to impose ourselves on the game. I wouldn’t look too much into it, we want our players to be aggressive, just at the right time.

“Me and Jonesy tried to stay calm, we talked about opportunities to score if we batted for a bit. Danni Gibson was a clutch player at the end, showing her potential.

“I found it a bit tricky the bowlers were bowling quite slow and the seamers were hard to get away. We had to soak pressure up first, because we know we had to time to score.”
