And just like that, Australia lead 1-0 in the series. What a damaging defeat that could be for England, especially with the day-nighter at The Gabba to come #Ashes2025

Wow that’s an absolute jaffa by Carse! #Ashes2025

Wow that’s a huge blow for Australia ahead of the first Ashes Test. Josh Hazlewood now joins an already ruled out Pat Cummins in missing the opener in Perth 🏏 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

A deserved semi-final win for South Africa over England, whose familiar failings have come to the fore once again #CWC25

Laura Wolvaardt’s amazing innings has rattled England, the freezing under pressure is being exposed again, 5-3 chasing 320 #CWC25

What a win to secure England’s semi-final place! 👏 Under real pressure, England held their nerve and won by just four runs. Unreal bowling at the death there by Linsey Smith 🙌 #CWC25

Well played Heather Knight, what a fantastic century 👏 #CWC25

Unbelievably hard luck for Pakistan who so deserved to win. England got away with that one, if their batting problems continue they’ll get blown away by India and Australia #CWC25

Wow England are struggling against bottom of the table Pakistan, they’re 39-4 with both Sciver-Brunt and Knight out! 🤯 #CWC25

England had some real luck on their side while chasing, in particular Heather Knight early on, but under pressure the former skipper has led the team to two wins from two 👏 #CWC25

That’s a huge wicket! England are under the cosh here 🏏 #CWC25

Here we go! Jofra Archer is back in the England Test squad for the first time since 2021

What a win and what a Test match! India should've put England out of sight on multiple occasions and they'll be kicking themselves, but this England team under Ben Stokes never give up 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇳 #EngvInd

Former England and Gloucestershire fast bowler David 'Syd' Lawrence has died at the age of 61 following a battle with motor neurone disease. Rest in peace, Syd.
