England win the toss and will bat
Charlie Dean: “it feels a good day to get out there , and looks a bit of a belter. We were in a brilliant position with both bat and ball at the half way stage, need to be more ruthless.”
Harmanpreet Kaur: would have batted too. Happy with the team and the balance pre World Cup.
Preamble
Hello! The World Cup is now less than two weeks away and England have just two games left to primp and preen their strategy. Out-thought and out-bowled by India in the first T20 at Chelmsford, they will want to do better today in Bristol – stand-in captain Charlie Dean pinpointed “leaving ourselves too much to do at the end,” as a flaw to fix.
Play will start at 2.30pmBST, the toss and the teams at 2pm. Do join us.
