What a story for WI & 33yr old Shemaine Campbelle from Guyana, who’s been playing for WI since 2009, and having averaged 13 in her last 11 T20i inns, pulls off an incredible 90* (62) to beat defending champs NZ in nail biting fashion 👏🏼 #T20WorldCup Chances galore missed by NZ

Scotland women achieve their first ever victory in a #T20WorldCup - a 40 run win over Ireland. They will be targeting causing an upset as they move through the group. WI next for Scotland. Ireland take on England.

It feels very Kane Williamson to retire with no notice, no fanfare, no final match send off. One of the most understated legendary players of his generation, and an all time NZ great, who led his team to becoming World Test Champions. Stellar in every way.

It’s a bit of a mess, when the vice-captain doesn’t captain in place of the captain. Instead of Harry Brook, Joe Root is back as (interim) skipper at the Oval. Stokes & Atkinson left out while investigation going on. Jofra Archer & Jordan Cox come into squad for 2nd Test.

Drop-in pitches at Lord’s from 2028. Key extract from MCC Chair Mark Nicholas, writing in @TimesSport. Have since read article by @NickFriend1 @TheCricketerMag from Feb that goes into this.
ALT “after consultation with global experts, MCC is at present developing drop-in pitches with a schedule to begin cultivating them on the Nursery Ground this summer and the ambition of integrating them into the Main Ground in 2028.”

Here’s something I prepared earlier: theguardian.com/sport/2015/n… @SebastianTarek
fair play. you have clearly done your research. i had the pleasure of seeing a huge pile of red ball hides at a tannery once. i’m sure any of the local tanneries would welcome the opportunity to talk about the details of what’s involved to you.

While it’s wet at Lord’s we’ll be touching on rule/law changes after midday if still no play. What changes or tweaks would you suggest for the game - as serious or mischievous as you want! Reply here #bbccricket @bbctms or email TMS@bbc.co.uk

England really needed that. A dynamic partnership to chase a big total. Haven’t had enough of that of late. Capsey and Knight both doing the biz. Edwards says Nat SB will bat 3 when she returns for WCup, but unlikely to bowl. #EngvInd #bbccricket

The decider! 🔥
A big night at Taunton awaits with both sides level.
Charlie Dean wins the toss and England will have a bowl.

Might need a dome over Lord’s this week for the Test.. Hope this space draws in plenty of people who would otherwise struggle to play cricket, or even start in some cases. 🏏
The country’s third all-weather cricket dome has officially opened its doors at Sporting Khalsa FC in the West Midlands, giving access to cricket and community activities all-year-round and creating opportunities for thousands more people to play the sport. Read more ⬇️
