Superb effort from England after a big collapse in the powerplay. Those early wickets didn't really dent England as Pakistan released the pressure in the middle overs, and the seasoned players came to the fore. Knight stabilized the ship with a brisk and counter-attacking 49, while Jones charged with a quickfire 37. Thereon, Gibson and Ecclestone pressed on the gas pedal and gorged runs with ease as Pakistan bowlers erred with the bowl and were a bit sloppy in the field--couldn't sustain the pressure. It's going to be a herculean task to chase down this total. The visitors will need to get off to a flier in the powerplay and use the deep pockets to avoid piling up dots

Sadia Iqbal to Gibson, 1 run, Mows it downtown but straight towards the fielder at long-off, what a fantastic recovery after a nightmarish powerplay where England lost four wickets in succession. Jones and Knight started the rebuilding and then Gibson and Ecclestone finished well as England piled up 100 in the last 10 overs
