2nd over: England 5-1 (Wyatt-Hodge 1, Dunkley 4) Backed up well by Gabriela Fontenla, the Scottish seamer is on the money early, and England’s batters aren’t game to take her one. Just four runs from the over, prodding about.
WICKET! Jones c McColl b Gordon 0
1st over: England 1-1 (Wyatt-Hodge 0, Dunkley 1) Dream start for Scotland! A wicket first ball for Kirstie Gordon would have been a good thing for England once, but she’s changed countries since then. The left-arm spinner loops up the first ball of the innings, and Amy Jones, the England keeper, gets forward and simply chips it to mid off. The kind of dismissal we’ve seen so often from her, but usually while facing Ellyse Perry. She’s gone, and so is the first over for a single.
Sorry we didn’t give you more preamble, we have two consecutive World Cups going on and it’s rather a stretch here at the Guardian sport desk. But we’re good to go as the game begins.
Preamble
Hello! It’s time for a British Isles derby in the women’s T20 World Cup. Is that appropriate nomenclature? I don’t know, I’m from Australia, someone will tell me off if necessary. But England are playing Scotland, who were so good against West Indies the other night before falling short. We’ll see how we go.
