If EWCB cannot organise a red ball competition (or be bothered) then they should at least organise an Eng v EngA match just for practise. When it could be scheduled, absolutely no idea 🏏

Regaining multi-format points trophies i.e. The Ashes is an uphill struggle if you can't win (or recently, even compete) in the Test match. Not coincedentally, the last time England won the Women's Ashes, was also the last time the won the Test component of the series.

The EWCB need to decide whether they want to take women’s test cricket seriously, in which case some sort or domestic competition is essential, or not, in which case there’s no point playing in the format. #ENGvIND #Cricket

Henry Moeran on TMS pumping up the positivity, but is anyone expecting this to still be on by lunch? #Cricket #ENGvIND

See, you won’t get this on the BBC! Top stattage.

Not to be, but here’s hoping Harman can make it. #ENGvIND #Cricket

Proper test match batting since lunch #ENGvIND #Cricket

Jones has kept very well so far, despite England’s seamers testing her down the leg side. #ENGvIND #Cricket

I do want England to do well today and set themselves up for victory, but I would feel privileged to see Smriti score a hundred. #ENGvIND #Cricket (Is that enough to put the lockers on?)

Harmanpreet needs a test century to complete the ‘full set’ of centuries in all formats. #ENGvIND #Cricket

BBC TMS tell us that England are bowling at about 11 overs/ hour. Who remembers the bad old days of the 1980s when the West Indies four man pace attack caused a lot of grumbling and consternation bowling at that rate? Surely England can do better than this. #ENGvIND #Cricket

Not happy reading for #Lancashire 🌹 fans. Probably the best we can hope for is a couple of consolation wins and not finishing last.

How wonderful to see Darcy Carter carrying on her sparking World Cup form now she’s back at #Lancashire 🌹 Top score in Lancashire’s innings and not out at the end. I’m afraid I don’t have any further details of the Lancs innings…😵 #VitalityBlast #Cricket

Great to see Tesco getting behind “Our Girls” ahead of Sunday’s final! #T20WorldCup #Cricket #ENGvAUS

On the day of England's SF v South Africa, the British government are calling on the ICC to recognise the Afghanistan women's cricket team. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper: "International institutions need to stand in solidarity with Afghanistan's women." Over to you, ICC.

Soooo… We going to rethink Jones opening? #Cricket #T20WorldCup #ENGvSA

Great to have NSB back, but could we not keep Charlie Dean as captain? #Cricket #T20WorldCup #ENGvSA

We must never forget that Ben Stokes (with Jack Leach) was responsible for Justin Langer kicking over a bin. And that’s not nothing.

Nothing grinds the gears of the London Gammonati more than the fact that the policies aimed at improving air quality and road safety by putting restrictions and costs on driving large, polluting vehicles in and around London are working quite so spectacularly!

Katherine Sciver-Brunt received her OBE for services to cricket on Tuesday 👏

#Lancashire 🌹 winning two games on the trot! We’re on the way back! (And a 6-fer for Fi Morris!) #Cricket #MBODC

Do we think that Scotland can push New Zealand? A couple of wickets down now, so wheels could fall off, but Darcey Carter is having another good day. NZ have had a tough time and spirits could be low, while Scotland have performed strongly despite the results. #Cricket #T20WorldCup #SCOvNZ

#Lancashire 🌹 playing Buckinghamshire (from Tier 3) in the County Cup. The way Lancs have been playing this season I can’t feel too confident. #cricket #VitalityCountyCup

Looks like Scotland chased down the target that England would have set if Kemp and Gibson hadn’t had those final three overs. #Cricket #T20WorldCup #ENGvSCO

Scottish hydration break. #Cricket #T20WorldCuo #ENGvSCO

So… Scotland getting these? #Cricket #T20WorldCup #ENGvSCO

200 UP! #Cricket #T20WorldCuo #ENGvSCO

Have England found the middle order firepower that they have been missing these last couple of years? Kemp and Gibson 50 partnership off just 18 balls! #Cricket #T20WorldCup #ENGvSCO

England charging on despite the wickets. Nice for Kirstie Gordon, but all the other Scottish bowlers getting the treatment. #Cricket #T20WorldCup #ENGvSCO

C’mon Scotland! England 0 for 1! #Cricket #T20WorldCup #ENGvSCO

Right everyone. Forget your India v Pakistan, *this* is the rivalry that matters. England v Scotland. Here we go! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #Cricket #T20WorldCup #ENGvSCO

“…played by John Candy”

So, Hypocaust was up live posting about this game at 10pm (BST) last night, then posted the stats highlights at, I guess, 4am(?) this morning. I'm starting to think this account is a front for an international cricket stats operation with outsourcing in Mumbai. Either that, or he never sleeps.

I'm hardly the most athletic guy, but I reckon that even I could get round 26 miles within a single 24 hour period. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

So they lost. I maintain this did not seem like associate vs full member. SCO gave an account of themselves they can be proud of. In the end, Stefanie Taylor was probably the difference, and the pounding SCO got at the end of the WI innings knocked the wind out of them. #T20WorldCup #Cricket

Not sure I can bear to watch any of the Scottish batting, but they seem to be doing ok. #T20WorldCup #Cricket #WINvSCO

Stefanie Taylor showing all her skills and experience. 47 off 19. An exciting back end of the innings and sets up a real challenge for the Scottish batting. #T20WorldCup #Cricket #WINvSCO

Actually it does look like associate vs full member. Just not the way round you would have thought. #T20WorldCup #Cricket #WINvSCO

This is the sort of content that will get the kids flocking to the games!

And now Campbelle is run out! And who is the fielder? Katherine Fraser of course! WIN’s fragile lower order exposed now. #T20WorldCup #Cricket #WINvSCO

Scotland up and about! Clever bowling from Bryce (K) and quick hands from Bryce (S) to get rid of Dottin. #T20WorldCup #Cricket #WINvSCO

👀!! Katherine Fraser! You legend! Only the wicket of one of the finest batters of a generation! Matthews gone and it always looks harder for the WI. #T20WorldCup #Cricket #WINvSCO

I know it’s early days in this game but it doesn’t feel like an associate vs a full member. Scotland look sharp and disciplined. #T20WorldCup #Cricket #WINvSCO

I mean honestly, the shot had “six” written all over it. And Fraser could easily have fallen over the boundary. Outstanding! #Cricket #T20WorldCup #WIvSCO

Now, that’s a catch!! By Fraser to get rid of Joseph. #Cricket #T20WorldCup #WIvSCO

This is well deserved and probably a year later than it should have been. But still no answer to why she still bats at 8. #Cricket

What’s this?! A victory for #Lancashire 🌹?! I may need to go and lie down. I see that Weerappulli put in a shift taking 2 for 22 on 10 overs. Can’t wait to see her in England colours. #Cricket #MBODC #LANvBLA

All of the teams batting first in the #MBODC were bowled out with only #Lancashire 🌹 lasting the full 50 overs. Warwickshire collapsed from 151 for 3 to 160 all out in less than 7 overs 👀. #Cricket

Nice to see #Lancashire 🌹 not being the worst performing team in this round of the #MetroBankOneDayCup. #Cricket
