England v Australia: Women’s Ashes second one-day international – live | Women’s Ashes

Players on the bottom, we’re set to go.

No modifications for England. Australia drop quick bowler Darcie Brown, who was wayward in Bristol, and usher in Alana King for some extra spin. That’s the bowling lineup they wanted a number of days in the past, will it do the job right here?

I think that Georgia Wareham will float up the order if Australia have wickets in hand within the final ten overs. She’s the purest hitter.

They wish to chase once more. It labored final time, so why not?

And one other essential second within the girls’s recreation, with this ICC announcement in the course of the week.

England’s gamers are talking with confidence now.

This was my summing up of the scenario, a number of seats down from Raf.

And had time to do a match wrap podcast with Melissa Story of TMS.

If you could revise, right here’s Raf Nicholson with the match report from the final dramatic day at Bristol.

Preamble

Geoff Lemon

Here we go once more. After Australia gained the Test match and the primary T20 on this 12 months’s Women’s Ashes sequence, there was certainly no means again for the opposite workforce. England weren’t going to beat the world champions for 5 limited-overs matches in a row to overturn the factors deficit.

They gained the primary of these 5. Fine, however not going to win 4 extra, are they?

They gained the second. But not three?

Yep, three. Two 20-over matches and one 50-over match, the latter coming with the closest end as Heather Knight and Kate Cross reached the goal in Bristol eight wickets down.

Now, it’s Australia who should win. The equation is easy. Whichever workforce loses at this time can now not win the sequence, they’ll solely draw it.

And sure, Australia would retain the trophy with a draw, however they might hate that end result after holding such a powerful early lead.

This is the place it actually will get attention-grabbing. The Australians regarded rattled after that third loss in Bristol. Blowing that early benefit is now an actual chance. Will that throw them off, get of their means? Or will the jeopardy focus their method, and see them produce the dominant efficiency we’ve been anticipating?

All to play for at this time..
