Heather Knight marked her 100th match as captain with 95 on a much-talked about used pitch at Bristol.

England handed a maiden Test cap to 22-year-old Sophia Dunkley, making the all-rounder the first black woman to play the longest format for the country. The South East Stars player was only awarded her first central contract on June 8 after impressing over the winter with England and in the opening games of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. Dunkley made her entrance at number six with just over an hour’s play left in the day and finished on 12 not out.
