With captain Nat Sciver-Brunt to return from injury, Capsey appeared the most vulnerable in England's XI for next week's tournament opener before she dominated India's bowling in hitting 82 from 43 balls in a chase of 181. England were 14-2 when 21-year-old Capsey emerged, with Sophia Dunkley out for 16 and Danni Wyatt-Hodge five. Their places are now under immense pressure from Capsey, who hit nine fours and three sixes and put on 137 in a superb partnership with Knight. Veteran former captain Knight has struggled for form this summer, leading to doubts around her place in the side, but she looked near her best in making 70 not out from 42 balls. Though Capsey was dismissed with six runs still needed, England still completed their second highest T20 chase - and highest in the UK - with ease, getting home with nine balls to spare. It gives England a major boost going into their home World Cup and positions them as one of the favourites to win a major trophy for the first time since 2017. They have warm-up matches against India and Australia next week before opening the tournament against Sri Lanka on 12 June.

Capsey hit a match-winning 74 not out against New Zealand last month but when Wyatt-Hodge was available for Saturday's match in Bristol she was pushed down from opener to number four – a sign that Dunkley and Wyatt-Hodge were still the preferred opening partnership. How long can that remain the case? Dunkley, who has opened in all of England's T20s under Edwards, made a start again, reaching double figures for the fifth time in a row, before hitting straight to deep mid-wicket. Her highest score this summer is 26. Wyatt-Hodge has made 29 and five since returning after the birth of her first child but has the advantage of holding the experience of 179 internationals. While Knight played a series of sweeps
