    Ex-England seamer on BBC Test Match Special

    Scores are getting bigger in women's cricket. It's partly because the girls are getting stronger and are scoring more boundaries.

    It's cake o'clock in the TMS commentary box...

  3. Eng 4-0

    Heather Knight takes guard, raking her crease before facing right-arm seamer Megan Schutt, who wasn't selected at Taunton but has replaced leg-spinner Kristen Beams in the XI today. Like her new-ball partner Perry, Schutt has a thick stripe of sun cream across her nose and cheeks - and Knight gets England under way with a powerful, cover-driven four.

  4. Dan Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    There's something very idiosyncratic about Charlotte Edwards' technique but it's been finely honed over the years.

  5. Eng 0-0 (target 260)

    Perry starts with a probing over to Edwards, who can't beat the infield early on and plays out a maiden over.

  6. Get Involved

    Ralph Brooker in France:  Different Ashes, same pattern: undercooked Aussies lose first contest. But come back strong in the second. Hope there's no Michele Johnson in the Aussie pace attack. Come on England, you're going to have to bat big here.

  7. Nearly ready for the run chase - remember, this will be England's highest successful Women's ODI run chase if they pull it off. Charlotte Edwards and Heather Knight opening for England, and Ellyse Perry taking the new ball.

  9. Edgbaston pitch latest

    Edgbaston groundsman Gary Barwell has been speaking to BBC Sport about the surface he's preparing for next week's third Test:

    I'm trying to produce a good quality Test pitch with plenty for the bowlers and the batsmen, good carry and good bounce. I've had no directives from ECB on what kind of pitch to prepare.

  11. England announce UAE tour

    England's men have announced the dates for their "away" series with Pakistan, which will take place in the UAE this autumn.

    After two warm-up games in Sharjah, they will play three Tests in Abu Dhabi (13-17 October), Dubai (22-26 Oct) and Sharjah (1-5 Nov). Those three venues then host four ODIs and three T20 internationals between 11 and 30 November.

  12. Chris Rogers latest

    There'll be no further medical update on Australia batsman Chris Rogers until he's had further tests in London tomorrow. This week he has seen specialists and undergone scans but further assessments are needed on why he felt dizzy while batting in the Lord's Test on Sunday. Rogers must be rated a doubt for the Edgbaston Test, starting next Wednesday.

  13. Australia tour game

    Warner hits a ton

    An update from the men's game now and Australia have just reached 150-0 in the tour match against Derbyshire at Derby. David Warner has just reached his century and retired out to give Michael Clarke some time at the crease. There is no Mitchell Johnson, Josh Hazlewood, Steve Smith or Mitchell Starc (who is watching the women in Bristol (his fiancee is Alyssa Healy).

    You can see the scorecard for the men's tour game here  - and follow live commentary on the BBC Sport website.

  16. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    I don't think England's fielding was as sharp as Tuesday. It wasn't much off the mark but the standards have been set. They have some areas they will want to tighten up in the bowling. Not many looked like taking wickets and they need to work on that on flat wickets.

  18. Interval

    Right, while the players grab some lunch, keep your ears on TMS as they're shortly going to check in with the Aussie men's game at Derby, where Australia have made 150-0 against Derbyshire, with David Warner closing on a century. You can follow that game with live commentary via the BBC Sport website.

  19. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    What I liked about Lanning's innings is that she went out at about a run a ball, at a good pace. There won't be many who will be able to keep the boundaries coming as much as she did because it is a slow outfield.
