Chamari Athapaththu hands the ball to Malki Madara. Sprightly pacer who many people in the Lankan setup view as a promising talent. She is known to manage some good pace on the ball. The youngster is now fidgety as the first ball of the World Cup faces some delay. A sightscreen issue, broadcast suggests. Until then, we are treated to the fantastic aerial view of this history ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amy Jones can see something near the sightscreen and is a bit agitated, dare I say. We see some people seated and walking there. So the match officials are now clearing the eyeline for the England batters. Let\u2019s go. We are finally clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Madara sends out a length ball to Jones, who thumps it offside for a dot ball. The Lankan youngster seems to getting some inswing as the ball deviates in a bit. The English pair run a sketchy single and if Kavisha had nailed her throw to the non-strikers, Amy Jones might have been in hot water now. Single. <br \/>Yet again, Madara targets the middle and leg stump and Danni Wyatt-Hodge clumsily pushes for a single. Deemed a leg bye. Another inswinger follows, and Jones clips this to midwicket for two runs. Madara then sends in a cutter, but Jones has swiped this to midwicket for a single. Wyatt-Hodge again negotiates to midwicket for a single. That spot has been left vacant from Chamari.
