Women’s T20 tri-nations: 20 overs: Australia 132-7 v England It’s a pretty simple equation for Australia: win here or surrender any hope at all of featuring in the final of this tri-series tournament. So far, it isn’t going so well. After being sent in by England in Melbourne, Australia lost Alyssa Healy in the opening over and never really got going - despite Beth Mooney’s 50 from 40 balls. Sophie Ecclestone (2-19) and Sarah Glenn (2-18) kept Australia on a very tight leash and, on the evidence of this tournament to date, a target of 133 should be well within England’s reach.

Australia’s women cricketers are at the midpoint of their must-win T20 tri-series match against England, two new teams - St Kilda and West Coast - make their maiden appearances as the opening round of the AFLW season continues, the F3 Derby in the A-League will go ahead despite the torrential rain sweeping large parts of New South Wales, plus there is some cycling and the rescheduled Bushfire cricket bash to keep us interested. So, yeah, lots on. As soon as I windscreen wipe my spectacles, we’ll be under way. Something on your mind? If so, send me an email or tweet @scott_heinrich.
