The bid is theirs for nan taking.
19th over: England 110-7 (Eccleston 8, Wong 3) This is rather achy to watch, England tin hardly get bat connected shot and Ecclestone is pinned successful nan midriff by a Kaur short ball. Painful connected nan section too. A four! Kaur sends down a afloat bunger to decorativeness and Ecclestone manages to smear it to nan fence. It wasn’t timed but not a batch has been each innings. Don’t judge a wicket aliases innings until some sides person batted connected it… but I very overmuch uncertainty England person anyplace adjacent enough.
18th over: England 105-7 (Eccleston 4, Wong 2) Issy Wong joins Ecclestone but neither batter tin break nan shackles.
