    PAK W v ENG W
    England 3 wins so far, PAK 3 defeats ...... what could possibly go wrong?
    ENG start at 1.16 and PAK at 7
    This - England 39-4 (6.4)

    3 wickets to Pakistan's 23 year-old captain, Fatima Sana

    54-5

    A lot of pressure on Dunkley and Capsey because we haven't got much to come. In addition, Ecclestone and Bell are missing the game through illness. 

    England are still favourites at 1.92

    Pakistan did have Australia 76-7 but, there again, I'm not sure who is our Beth Mooney and Alana King. 

    If we can get to 150 then we have a chance though losing both Ecclestone and Bell isn't going to help.

    Not an excuse but wondering if the illness has been more widespread and the rest of the squad aren't in a great place physically

    I'm not sure that theses two have the skillset to put the pressure on against the Pakistan spinners - even the odd bad ball isn't being punished and we've gone into real survival mode.

    Capsey dropped off a sitter

    I was wondering the same

    Capsey out LBW sweeping for 16 (43). Meanwhile, Dean is doing her best impression of Stonewall Jackson with 5 off 32.

    78-7

    Getting embarrassing now.
    We will be lucky to bat 35 overs

    All 7 wickets have resulted from us missing balls on the stumps.

    The rain has come and will, hopefully, become heavy enough to save us!!!

    England have scored 25/3 off 16 overs of spin bowling.

    Need the rain to continue all afternoon & evening. Get the match abandoned & take a point.

    I don't suppose India play any of their group matches in Sri Lanka where the risk of rain and a no result is quite high - chances that at least one of the top teams loses at least 1 point due to rain..........

    Looks increasingly likely that lucky Pakistan are going to get away with this and take an undeserved point from a game they were clearly going to lose

    Only the Pakistan game, which they've already played. Everyone else plays both Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Colombo, but India play Sri Lanka at home.

    October is one of the rainiest months in Colombo

    Latest is that the covers are coming off and they are looking to start in about 45 minutes or so. Providing there is no more rain of course!

    They've now called another inspection for 10 minutes time. Whatever Pakistan's target will be (and a minimum of 20 overs have to be bowled), it is likely to be little more than 3 runs an over. 
  • Addick Addict

    31 overs per side game so we bat for another 6 overs 
  • Addick Addict
    Addick Addict Posts: 39,788
    Dean might have to improve upon her strike rate of 5 runs off 32 balls 
  • Addick Addict
    Addick Addict Posts: 39,788
    As will Arlott with 1 off 12

    133-9 (31) with 54 runs scored off those 6 overs. Waiting for confirmation of Pakistan's target but it's probably going to be 20 or so runs less than our total.

    The one area of concern might be the ability to grip the ball especially for the spinners. Pakistan's certainly struggled to land it in the right place post the break for rain.

    A decent innings post resumption as England finish on 133-9 but that will be adjusted
  • Addick Addict

    113 is the target

    At 3.6 an over over 31 overs this should be a walk for PAK - especially without Bell and Ecclestone
