• England 302-5; Pakistan 124; England win by 178 runs
• Sciver-Brunt hits 124 before taking two wickets

Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives have been keen to stress that national service can come in all shapes and sizes. Could it perhaps include ­scoring runs for your country? If so, then Nat Sciver-Brunt has surely already completed hers, and then some.

At Chelmsford against Pakistan on Wednesday, the 31-year-old became the fastest Englishwoman to achieve the milestone of 3,500 runs in ODIs: it has taken her 94 innings. Shortly afterwards, she brought up her ninth ODI hundred in perhaps the most audacious way possible, with back-to-back ramps, as England concluded their ODI series against Pakistan with a 178-run win – their most convincing performance of the series.

5th over: England 17-0 (Beamount 7, Bouchier 9) Beaumont pushes forward at a gorgeous outswinger from Baig and survives a huge appeal for caught behind. My hunch is that the bat hit the pad, and after a long discussion Nida Dar decides against a review.

Replays confirm the offending sound was indeed bat on pad. Even so, that’s a terrific maiden from Baig, who has figures of 3-1-5-0. England’s openers are finding life tricky against the swinging ball.

• England 243-9; Pakistan 206-9; England won by 37 runs
• Erratic hosts made to work hard for victory

Alice Capsey hit a career-best 44 from 65 balls as England comfortably beat Pakistan by 37 runs in the first ODI against Pakistan at Derby.

But despite the victory margin the captain, Heather Knight described England’s performance as “scrappy” and “a little bit lacking in execution”, after a frustrating unbeaten 28-run last-wicket stand by the tourists.

3rd over: England 11-0 (Beaumont 8, Bouchier 2) A first boundary, a typically Beaumontesque slam through the covers – to make her the leading scorer in women’s ODIs in England, going above Sarah Taylor.

2nd over: England 6-0 (Beaumont 4, Bouchier 1) Diana Baig with the second over – such a lovely, easy run-up. It turns out she has also played football for Pakistan. Beaumont drives nicely, but the ball is cut off by the fielder’s knee.

• Third T20i: England, 176, beat Pakistan, 142-4, by 34 runs
• Wyatt dropped three times on way to a blistering 48-ball 87

A month after Yorkshire lost out to Durham in their bid to host a Tier One professional women’s team, 7,500 spectators defied the England and Wales Cricket Board’s verdict by filing into Headingley to watch England defeat Pakistan by 34 runs in the third and final Women’s Twenty20.

England rarely play in this part of the world – the most recent women’s international here took place in 2018 – but they served up a treat for the locals. A Danni Wyatt special – 87 runs hammered from 48 balls, 54 of them in boundaries – and the chance to see Pakistan make a semi-decent fist of the run-chase for the first time in the series.

Danni Wyatt’s sparkling 87 leads the charge as England beat Pakistan by 34 runs to whitewash the series.

5th over: England 36-0 (Bouchier 8, Wyatt 27) Fatima Sana now as Nida Dar rings the changes. At extra cover BAig cuts off a booming Bouchier drive. Four dots, a single, then the pressure punctured as Wyatt pierces the ring and picks up four.

4th over: England 31-0 (Bouchier 7, Wyatt 23) Time for some spin, from Sadia Iqbal. She manages to stop the boundaries, but there are still six off the over.
