Key events
While we wait, why not tuck into this week’s Spin? Tanya reports on Oswestry CC and their growing women’s section.
Right, we’ve got a delayed toss in Northampton as the rain comes down.
Preamble
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to coverage of the second ODI between England and New Zealand. The first one was nervy, a one-wicket win sealed by stand-in captain Charlie Dean, unbeaten on 31 in a chase of 211. At the other end: Tilly Corteen-Coleman, the 18-year-old debutant who contributed three precious runs and impressed with her main job. She finished with two for 49 off 10 overs, a fine introduction to the international game.
What have Melie Kerr’s New Zealand got in response? Well, first, we’ve got to pray for some sunshine. The weather forecast is, I’m afraid, rather dodgy. For now, we’re down for a 1pm BST start.
