England will play a second NatWest Women’s International T20 against Pakistan at the same venue at 10am tomorrow.
Player of the match Anya Shrubsole said: “It was a solid start from the team today for what is a really important period for us. It was a good performance and we’ll be looking to build on that tomorrow, sharpen up a little in the field and look for the one and two percenters that we can improve.
“I was really happy with how I performed today, having missed the series against India it was good to get back out there and put in a good performance.”
