Just reflecting on being at the semi-final yesterday and the atmosphere. I think that disconnect between fans and team that emerged last year has been healed. The love around me was very warm and there was an appreciation of how hard the players have been working on their weaknesses in the field.

T20 WORLD CUP SEMIFINAL: ENGLAND v SOUTH AFRICA - Warhorses

A reminder for Sunday, that although the final is on Sky, it is available to free to air on Sky Mix, as well as the Sky Sports app without a subscription. Should you so wish, Sky will also make Hindi commentary available 🤭 🏏 #T20WorldCup

Bell bowls Khaka for 4 (3) and finishes with her best T20 World Cup figures (4-0-28-2). South Africa 123/8 (19.0) #T20WorldCup icc-cricket.com/tournaments/...

England versus Australia in a Lord's final. You don't want to miss this 🍿 #T20WorldCup

England 169-5 v South Africa 129-8 #T20WC 🏏

England are in the semi final of a home world cup. Spain are playing Austria in the round of 32. Guess what is too billing on the BBC

A pair of woeful "we want this wicket" reviews from South Africa. #T20WorldCup icc-cricket.com/tournaments/...

Amy, Amy, Amy....

Six players remain from South Africa's 2017 ODI semi-final against England (Wolvaardt, Luus, Kapp, Tryon, Khaka, Ismail) could have been 7 if van Niekerk had been picked. Only two for England, Knight and NSB, DWH didn't play that match.

True dat

I don't really live in Time there's no yesterday and no Tomorrow It's all continuous fabric. (Sun Ra)

Good start for NZ.

Ireland (population 7 million, cricketing budget the loose change down the back of the sofa) beating India (population one and a half billion, annual cricketing budget all the money in the world) is both brilliant and hilarious. #TheCricket

Attendance confirmed at over 14k which is not bad at all given all the travel issues today. Good job everyone!

Safely through and looking pretty good, but I don't know I'd class today as ruthless. The end felt like "everyone knows what the result is going to be so relax." Is that too harsh?

Not sure that the scoreboard is quite reading the speeds right, they have Henry bowling at over 100mph

Amy, Amy...

Enfield Lock to Chigwell. Another Sunday on the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social. Would recommend.

Eccleston looks like she's found her groove, which is great news for England.

England's fishers doing their thing. You can see why they've been wanting these two to be there

Dunks, Dunks, Dunks... Who was out of form? Not Dunks...

Dunks, Dunks, Dunks... Who was out of form? Not Dunks...

Amy, Amy, Amy... What was that?

Another Sunday well spent on @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social - High Barnet to Enfield Lock is (mostly) a lovely walk through forest and fields, with the most northerly spot of the Loop ticked off at the Turkey Brook ponds.

Danni, Danni, Danni Wyatt-Hodge!!!

Such a special event on Waterloo Bridge. A Captain’s Carnival to launch the Women’s @T20WorldCup. EVERY BALL of EVERY MATCH will be available live on @BBCSounds from Friday. #bbccricket #T20WorldCup

We’re only days away from the first ball being bowled at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. This afternoon, Waterloo Bridge was transformed into a cricket pitch to celebrate. It’s another great summer for women’s sport in London as we host the semi-finals at The Oval and the final at Lord’s. 🏆

Absolutely happenstance that I ran into the T20 World Cup captain's carnival takeover of Waterloo Bridge

England lead by 99 with 9 wickets in hand at lunch on day 2. The exact same position they were in at Perth in November. Uh oh.

This is the sort of performance that makes me hopeful about England's chances in the World Cup. #EngvsInd

So should Freya Kent be further up the order as someone who seems to be able to hit sixes? Or is she best off as a finisher? Either way you kind of think that is something they need to work on.

England lose by 14 runs 🤔

Lots in this @finalwordcricket.bsky.social interview with Charlotte Edwards. The decisions that stayed with her, the rare opportunities she's had, and how she's handled people at different points in her career.

We've come a long way from "don't be evil", but as this piece points out in respect to the legal framework in which these companies are being held to account "the verdicts are important signals, not structural shocks".

Someday... Is still amongst my favourite songs

Afghanistan's women's refugee team is set to tour England later this summer in a move described as "a major step forward".

Playing Hen Ogled just crashed my computer. Figures.

"executing the kind of drives Lewis Hamilton would be proud of" "Sharp catch" You are spoiling us @crickether.com

Positive vibes for South East London in the summertime.

Looking forward to the T20 this evening, but always worry about the England batting. If it comes off this looks like an amazing lineup but a collapse always looks more likely.

This is England women's first T20I since 12th July 2025. The 312 day interval between T20I fixtures is their longest since 2017. #ENGvNZ ecb.co.uk/matches/1124...

Let’s not forgot today is Suzie Bates final ODI game -183 Matches- 4th all time -5970 runs- 4th highest ODI (23 runs to over take Charlotte Edwards to go 3rd) -13 100s & 37 50s -HS 168 -38.02 Average with 79.41 SR - 83 W @ 34.13, Best figure 4-7 - 94 catches What a career from Suzie

I'm going to take credit for inspiring her

Charlie Dean for PM!

So... All those below-the-line people on the BBC Sports page are going to be praising Edwards for her blooding of new players, right? #ENGvsNZ
