Danni Wyatt lights up Headingley to complete series clean

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

Almost exactly 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 verdict by filing into Headingley to watch England defeat Pakistan by 34 runs in the third and final Women’s T20 International.

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