Quote MessageWe're going to centrally allocate the 18 centrally contracted players - so three for each team - but try to keep local affiliations. We don't want four strong teams and two weak teams, we know who the best domestic players are and want to make sure the competition is best v best.

Women's Cricket Super Leaguepublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 21 July 2015
Quote MessageIn an ideal world, we'd like to have two teams in the north, two in the Midlands and two in the south. From a Super League, we want good community engagement and six hubs which can help grow women's domestic cricket.

Quote MessageIt's a good total. Given the pitch and the rapidity of the outfield, it might be a bit under par. But runs on the board creates that pressure with the chasing team, so it's game on.

Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialQuote MessageThere are a few team selections here I wouldn't necessarily have gone with. I'd have had Lauren Winfield in, who scores plenty of runs in county cricket, and I'm not sure why Dani Hazell isn't in the squad.

Australia's Ellyse Perry, who became only the third player in history to score six consecutive ODI fifties, on Sky Sports: " I'm really enjoying the opportunity with the bat. It's been fantastic to bat a bit higher and to develop my game.
"Probably 260-280 was a par score. England bowled really well to restrict us to what they did - they were exceptional."

So, three wickets and a run-out for Katherine Brunt, and four run-outs in total, in an entertaining innings. Australia have runs on the board, but which side will be taking two Women's Ashes points away with them up the M5 today?

Aus 238-9published at 50 overs
Grundy tosses it up, Healy can only take a single to long-on, exposing teenager Ferling to the penultimate ball of the innings. But she can be proud of a lofted drive over the bowler which brings Healy back on strike for the last ball, which she slams through deep mid-wicket - and as Brunt and Sciver combine to cut off the boundary, Healy comes back for two and England will need 239 to win.
Aus 234-9published at 49.3 overs
Pace bowler Holly Ferling strides to the middle as Australia's number 11, as Rebecca Grundy is given the last over. Healy swings and misses, keeper Taylor misses it two and they scamper back for two byes. Another fluent reverse sweep takes Healy to 26 from 23 balls. Three left.

Beams lbw Brunt 1 (Aus 228-9)
Hell hath no fury like a Brunt scorned... the Barnsley speedster has her revenge as tail-ender Beams is pinned back on her crease by the last ball of Brunt's spell. And had she not been given lbw, she might also have been given caught behind. Brunt finishes with figures of 10-2-48-3.
Aus 228-8published at 48.5 overs
Can Brunt finish it for England - or failing that, keep Alyssa Healy off strike? Healy waits for a slower ball, walking across her stumps and lofting it over square leg for four as Brunt literally kicks the turf in frustration. Next ball, Healy hits it back to the bowler, Brunt flings the ball at the stumps with fury, but Healy has a smile on her face.
