misfield

When Livingstone pulled up in the field, Root was left to bowl the 47th over and his first delivery was flogged over mid-wicket for six by Nabi, the next parried over the rope by Salt for another before a shoddy misfield from Duckett let through four more as England wilted.

Russell ended the 17th over by pouncing on a long hop to find six before Chase hit a four off the next ball, gifted by a PNG misfield as they scored the runs required in just 13 balls.

They did not commit to their shots, trying to force the pace, while Kemp's run out was an error in judgement, setting off for a single after a misfield when Knight at the non-striker's end did not move an inch.

Maia Bouchier was bounced out by the fiery Lea Tahuhu, Alice Capsey was plumb lbw after missing a reverse sweep and Nat Sciver-Brunt was run out trying to sneak a second run on a misfield.

Little had Sam Curran edge behind for a golden duck, the Irishman bowling 15 of the 25 balls in the powerplay for figures of 1-7 - four of those runs came from a misfield.
