Sciver-Brunt and Kemp did well enough but 151 feels like a target Australia will chase down with overs to spare.
After that batting from Australia and our bowling and fielding I think the Aussies would have chased down 200! Really poor way to end the tournament. Considering there is some concern about the future talent pool I’m not sure future tournaments will get any closer
Australia are so far ahead in women's cricket that their B team would be up there challenging to be the second best team.
What's going on with India in T20s? Beaten twice by Ireland, and now we've got them 63/7 after beating them at the weekend.
Changed some players after winning the T29 World Cup but they are imploding. The current coach might not last much longer,
An end of an era for Tammy Beaumont 🫶Read more below.— England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 8, 2026 I imagine this has been planned for a while with the test being given for one final goodbye.
Arthur Fery now in the Wimbledon semi! Only the second ever wildcard to make the Men’s semi and fourth for any grand slam in the open era. All 3 of those had been former finalists who had dropped down the rankings.
Ben Stokes' emotional retirement video may have broken cricket's anti-corruption rules. World cricket's governing body have written to the ECB over the footage released during England's Third Test against New Zealand on June 28 - The Sun
What a week the men are having in T20 cricket. Another excellent performance. Can go number one in the world if they beat India again on Saturday.
Ready for Fiji 👊Steve Borthwick has named his team for our second Nations Championship fixture on Saturday at 14:10 BST.@O2 | #WearTheRose— England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) July 9, 2026
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/cvg5yg4lng4o How long till someone leaks footage of them being drunk in their hotel room.
First day of the women’s test seems finely balanced. If they can get within 50 or so of India they might have a chance on the 4th innings.
Nations Championship tournament organisers have made the decision to introduce additional water breaks for players and match officials during the Fiji v England fixture, and extend half time to 20 minutes, in line with its tournament regulations, and heat guidelines. pic.twitter.com/CdvPkixi3O— England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) July 11, 2026
Still Boss 💪Simply incredible, @JosButtler! 🙌@IGCom 🤝 pic.twitter.com/SYhMp2Y94U— England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 11, 2026 Butler finally has a good game then. Good game in the Rugby as well. Sadly the women’s cricket is not gong as well
Saying goodbye to another legend of our game 😢 pic.twitter.com/pVoNiRCkCo— England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 11, 2026 Heather Knight retiring on Monday. Going to be interesting to see how they replace her. Weirdly they are no more T20’s till February as the Ireland ones seem to habe disappeared, How much of a priority is the Ashes next year? Having a very new team play it feels risky.
Bizarrely the news is coming from Aussie sources. Why would you announce it mid way in a white ball series. And let it leak out via Aussies rather than local sources or Kiwi’s. Will the ECB announce it now before our press start reporting it. Through apparently they are only looking at Aussie replacements. Justin Langer seems to be who the Aussie’s want as all think he be crap. Jamie Smith must be gutted his England career is surely over. Also I honestly think the next coach might retire Joe Root and go for a total rebuild and be fine if weakens the Ashes next year.
Staying as white ball coach. Wonder if he will try and demand Brook stays as his captain More embarrassment the Telegraph get their article out before the ECB manage to put theirs up. Rob Key stays. Nobody approached but will be hired within a month (Starts 20th August so will need to go at speed). The I think Andy Flower is coming back - coaches coming back for Seinfeld stint after being successful have a mixed history. Speculation is the new coach will be encouraged to select an outsider as a captain. Wonder if Bethell will be sent back to being White ball only as he is too up and down for tests.
Can’t see the women chasing down 457 to win the test. Can they somehow make it a draw though. Hopefully Knight and Beaumont will have a good final innings. And if the rumours are true this might Sciver-Brunt’s and Jones final international match as well.
Joe Root set to come back as captain if Andy Flower returns as coach says the Telegraph Meanwhile the women are not putting up a good fight except for Amy Jones - be something if that turns turns out to be her last appearance.
