Congratulations to the women's national team, just pulled off a nailbiting two-wicket win against South Africa to reach Sunday's World Cup final.

WHAAAAAATT!!!! They're letting women play cricket now. Political correctness gone mad!!!!!!!!!


Seriously though, love watching women's cricket. The English are very good and hopefully soon to be crowned world champions.

Tense finish on here. India were cruising but a flurry of wickets has made it close now.
Ooooh. The most marginal stumping decision goes in favour of India.
15 from 20 needed. 3 wickets in hand.
Run out.

11 from 15 to win. 2 wickets in hand.
3 dots.

11 from 12 now.
Caught.

The full house at Lords goes potty.

5 wickets for Shrubsole
Gunn drops a dolly and they scramble a single.
BOWLED.

ENGLAND WIN BY 9 RUNS

What an absolute thriller! Brilliant stuff from the team to claw it back when it looked like India were going to do it at a canter. Shrubsole was amazing. Really enjoyable afternoon's entertainment. They can be proud of that trophy.

Anya Shrubsole - my favourite and a name to remember. Not too bad at cricket either. Whistle
Cabbage is still good for you

After a tough couple of defeats, nice to see the ladies win the last of the ODIs to get off the mark in the Ashes. Australia now lead 4-2; if they win next week's Test match they'll retain the trophy, but an England victory would keep the series alive.
