3.52pm That was emphatic from England's top order. Danni Wyatt and Maia Bouchier launched things in style, Wyatt and Nat Sciver-Brunt bruised more figures through the middle. Freya Kemp brought up the rear in style in her first England outing of the summer. Lea Tahuhu did well with two wickets, but not a lot to write home about. Alan will be here shortly, to watch four spinners put the Dhak into England's attack.
