HEATHER Knight insisted that England’s “desperation” to shine on the big stage was responsible for a top order debacle before they recovered to beat Pakistan by 53 runs in the series-opening T20 in Birmingham.

Scoreboard flattered us, admits skipper Knight

In front of a 12,241-strong crowd at Edgbaston and with the match televised on BBC Two, England’s bid to get on a run ahead of the Women’s T20 World Cup in October got off to a false start as they crashed to 11 for four early on.

However, Knight provided some much-needed stability to anchor the innings with 49 off 44 balls, putting on 67 with Amy Jones and 41 off just 19 deliveries alongside West Country all-rounder Danielle Gibson, who contributed a quickfire 41 not out.

In reply to England’s 163 for six, Pakistan reached 77 for three at the halfway stage before capitulating to 110 all out in 18.2 overs, with Sarah Glenn taking four for 12 and Jones following up her 37 off 27 balls with four important catches behind the stumps on her 100th T20 appearance for her country.
