8.19pm:Right - that's it from us here. Join us on Sunday for the second ODI at Taunton!
8.16pm: England captain Heather Knight: "Scrappy, is a good word (for that performance). There were certainly areas we can improve. At the end of the day, we got the result. It was quite tricky to force the game on that wicket. There are a lot of things we can tidy up."
8.13pm Sophie Ecclestone is player of the match, with figures of 3 for 26: "I think I got away with a few there because of my cold hands. It's just about bowling my best ball for longer (in ODIs). I think we didn't get enough runs, really. We should have got a few more with our batting line-up. We wanted to take wickets early and have good intensity, and we did."
8.05pm: It wasn't as easy as the last 10 overs made it seem, but Pakistan were always going to struggle when they began needing a couple of boundaries an over. The hosts were a long way short of their best with a staggering 40 extras (the biggest contributor in Pakistan's innings), of which 31 were wides

Bell to Nashra Sandhu, no run
Slower ball, grips and skips past a confused Nashra

Bell to Nashra Sandhu, no run
Drive out to mid off. They think about a single but Nashra sends Najiha back who dives to get back in her crease. The throw is off target anyway

Into the pads of Nashra, who was stepping to the leg side initially and then got cramped for room

Glenn to Najiha Alvi, 2 runs
Dabbed so fine that it's gone through Jones' legs. Cross hauls the ball back. They're checking whether there was contact with the sponge... but replays are inconclusive. Stays as a couple

Bell to Najiha Alvi, 1 run
Length, nips into middle, worked off the hip as Najiha steps across
47.5
•
Bell to Najiha Alvi, no run
Full, not quite full pace, but defended back down the track
47.4
•
Bell to Najiha Alvi, no run
Slower delivery - off cutter in fact - has Najiha pressing forward early. Strikes her front pad but the angle is working against Bell. Not out

Bell to Najiha Alvi, no run
Scuffed out into the leg side attempting a hack down the ground

Bell to Najiha Alvi, 2 runs
Full, angled in and worked away well to deep midwicket. Bouchier reaches it in the end but there was a hint of a catching opportunity as Sciver-Brunt's sprawled at midwicket

Bell to Najiha Alvi, no run
Leading edge... but just short of Knight running in from extra cover. What sweet release that would have been...

Flighted, full, enticing a drive, which comes but straight to Bell at mid off

Googly? Perhaps. Nashra is flummoxed as she tries to rock back and pull to leg and ends up wearing it
