Women's T20 WC, England vs Sri Lanka
Good, positive running yet again.
Around off, fuller in length. Amy Jones knocks it to long on and gets a single.
Close call, but Jones is safe. Fuller in length, angled in at the toes, Wyatt-Hodge works it down to short fine leg and sets off for the single. The fielder just takes a fraction more to release the ball and when the keeper collects it and takes off the bails, Jones is already in.
Pitches it up, does Silva, just outside the off stump. Danni Wyatt-Hodge hangs back and punches it to point.
Beaten! Good-length delivery, just outside off, skids through this time. Wyatt-Hodge looks to smash it through the off side but misses and even holds the pose for a while.
Full-length delivery, outside off, Amy Jones drives it to the left of cover and gets across for a single.
Time for the experienced Nilakshika Silva to bowl. Bowler number 6 for Sri Lanka by the way. She replaces Sugandika Kumari.
FOUR! No chance this time for Imesha Dulani and the boundaries are flowing thick and fast for England. Full and down the wrong line, on leg. Wyatt-Hodge gets inside the line and shovels the sweep well to the right of deep backward square leg for four more runs.
FOUR! Oh, that's another silly mistake from Kavisha Dilhari. She is not having a great time out there in the field and Chamari Athapaththu isn't pleased one bit. Short of a length, around leg. Danni Wyatt-Hodge opens her stance and pulls it to deep square leg. Kavisha first runs to her left, but overruns as the ball spins the other way after landing and beats her to her right for a boundary.
Darted in a bit, full and outside off, Wyatt-Hodge jams it back to the bowler.
Dilhari drags her length back, just outside off, Danni Wyatt-Hodge comes down the track and works it toward the right of the bowler.
FOUR! Typical Danni Wyatt-Hodge. Floated up, full and outside off, Wyatt-Hodge stays leg side of the ball, uses her wrists and lifts it inside-out over the point region for a boundary.
Kavisha Dilhari comes from over the wicket and bowls fuller, just outside off. Amy Jones tries to drive it through cover, but gets an inside edge and the ball squirts to mid on. Single taken.
Sri Lanka still search for their first breakthrough. Can Kavisha Dilhari provide that? She replaces Mithali Ayodhya.
Nagging length outside off, Wyatt-Hodge punches the drive but straight to extra cover. 18 off the over, the biggest one of this inning so far.
Tossed up, fuller, just outside off, Amy Jones flicks it away, but miscues the shot. The ball loops and falls in the vacant mid on region. Single taken.
FOUR! The English openers seem in full flow now. Amy Jones pre-empts a bit and shuffles to the off side. She gets one right in the slot and thwacks it down the ground for another boundary.
Good fielding. Uh, oh. The siren has gone off and Sugandika Kumari has committed a cardinal sin here. Floated up outside off, Wyatt-Hodge gets forward, drives it on the full but the fielder at cover makes a diving stop to her right. Single taken, and Free Hit to follow...
On a nagging length, on off, Amy Jones punches it to long off for a single.
FOUR! That's an excellent shot from Jones! Pitches it up, much fuller, outside off, Amy Jones crouches down on one knee and sweeps it away to deep mid-wicket for four more runs.
