England comfortably beat Pakistan by 37 runs in the opening one-day international at Derby.

Pakistan 206-9 :England comfortably beat Pakistan by 37 runs, despite a sub-par performance in an underwhelming one-day international series opener in Derby.

Despite a comprehensive margin of victory, England were unconvincing as plenty of batters made starts but failed to kick on in their 243-9. The preceding T20 series, which England swept 3-0, saw Pakistan fail batting second in each game but they showed improved grit and skill in the longer format amid ill-discipline from Heather Knight's side, who conceded 31 in wides.

The frustration was the failure to capitalise on starts, though, with wickets thrown away as soon as a partnership started to settle.
