wilt

A suspect substitution is not the only problem to fix if England are to prevent their autumn wilting early.

Initially it looked like it was the hosts who would wilt with the Chiefs making a flying start, Feyi-Waboso finishing off a sweeping left to right move in the corner after just four minutes.

It was beginning to wilt, and the water around it was getting hot.

Their batting is inconsistent, talented pace bowlers Naseem and Shaheen are short of their best and Pakistan wilted in the field, both physically and tactically, in the face of England’s relentless run-scoring.

But it was a gritty innings that gave Scotland hope even with the run-rate climbing, such is her class, but the inexperienced middle order wilted around her.
