Key events
We may have an international on, but the glitzy franchise stuff never stops – the Women’s Premier League auction is playing out today, with Danni Wyatt and Kate Cross nabbing deals among the English contingent. Wyatt is off to UP Warriorz and Cross will play for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Preamble
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to coverage of the second T20I between England and India at the Wankhede Stadium! The visitors put in a properly professional display in the series opener, recovering from an early meltdown to post a gargantuan 197-6, with Nat Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt whacking quickfire 70-odds. India’s spinners were slightly all over the shop and the England duo of Sarah Glenn and Sophie Ecclestone outbowled them, the latter marking her return from injury with a delightful 3-15 to complete a comfortable 38-run win. Here’s to a more nail-biting affair today.
Play begins at 1.30pm GMT, and I’ll be around for the whole thing. Get in touch with your thoughts, queries, favourite Christmas movies, recommendations for things to do in Tooting (I’m moving in a couple of days), Spotify Wrapped results, whatever you fancy. Cheers!
