Women's T20 - a Commonwealth game?published at 18:28 British Summer Time 21 June 2019
While we await news of the toss, some encouraging news came yesterday that women's Twenty20 cricket is on course to be added to the Commonwealth Games roster for the Birmingham Games in 2022, along with beach volleyball and Para-table tennis.
England skipper Heather Knight has heralded the "massive impact" it could have on the women's game, in terms of inspiring the next generation and increasing funding. She added that she hopes she's still playing in 2022!
Despite its strong association with many Commonwealth countries, cricket has appeared only once in the Games - as a 16-team men's tournament, external in 1998, which was won by South Africa.
England did not take part, though Scotland and Northern Ireland did - as well as three of the Caribbean nations competing under their own flags, rather than as West Indies.

End of twitter postWhat's the weather like?published at 18:23 British Summer Time 21 June 2019
Only a few white fluffy clouds over Wantage Road at the moment.
This was the BBC weather forecast for Northampton a few moments ago. Although the earlier prediction of "sunny intervals and a gentle breeze" has given way to "partly cloudy and light winds".

Evening, everyone. The players have stayed in Northampton - but after a washout on Tuesday, we should get a full game in tonight as England face West Indies in the second of their three Twenty20 internationals.
England will be confident of extending their winning run, which currently stands at 13 completed games in all formats. But as the men's team found this afternoon, cricket isn't always as straightforward as that...
