England v India: Lauren Bell gets first international T20 call-up as Katherine Brunt is rested.Pace bowler Lauren Bell has received her first international Twenty20 call-up, while Katherine Brunt has been rested for England's three-match series against India this month. Bell, 21, made her Test and one-day international debuts earlier this year. England's leading T20 wicket-taker Brunt, 37, has opted to miss both the T20 and subsequent ODI series. Nat Sciver will continue to lead England in the absence of injured captain Heather Knight. England play three T20s and three ODIs against India from 10-24 September. Head coach Lisa Keightley said she "fully" supported Brunt's decision to prioritise her recovery after "an intense year so far", during which the veteran retired from Test cricket. England's first T20 against India is in Durham on Saturday and is followed by games in Derby and Bristol. England squad: Nat Sciver (Northern Diamonds, capt), Lauren Bell (Southern Vipers), Maia Bouchier (Southern Vipers), Alice Capsey (South East Stars), Kate Cross (Thunder). Freya Davies (South East Stars), Sophia Dunkley (South East Stars), Sophie Ecclestone (Thunder), Sarah Glenn (Central Sparks), Amy Jones (Central Sparks). Freya Kemp (Southern Vipers), Bryony Smith (South East Stars), Issy Wong (Central Sparks), Danni Wyatt (Southern Vipers). ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/3EDA/production/_126609061_laurenbell.jpgLauren Bell impressed for runners-up Southern Brave during The Hundred

Nat Sciver withdraws from England v India series citing 'emotional fatigue'.Stand-in England captain Nat Sciver has withdrawn from the series against India to "focus on her mental health". The 30-year-old all-rounder was due to lead England in three T20s and three one-day internationals in the absence of the injured Heather Knight. Wicketkeeper Amy Jones will instead lead the side in the T20s, which begin in Durham on Saturday. "I've played a lot of cricket over the last nine months and I am very emotionally fatigued," said Sciver. "Elite sport demands a lot and for the moment I'm not able to perform without compromising my own wellbeing, so I need to take some time away from cricket in order to focus on myself. "It's the right decision for me and it's the right decision for the team." England women's director of cricket Jonathan Finch said: "We fully support Nat and her decision to step away from this series. Cricket is important, but it is wholly insignificant in the context of an individual's health and happiness. ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/12F7D/production/_126639677_natsciver.jpgNat Sciver made her maiden Test century in June

I didn’t see the Indian innings but I saw the England reply. Very one-sided and some of the Indian fielding was very poor. Two easy missed catches and the ground fielding was very poor. I hope the next matches are at least competitive.

I hope the next matches are at least competitive. Women's international cricket isn't very competitive then. A bit like women's international football... A reminder of the England women's Qualifying record for the World Cup: Played 10 Won 10 Drawn 0 Lost 0. Goals for 80 Goals Against 0. Must be absolutely nail-biting stuff watching those games. If it's not remotely competitive - then in my books - it just isn't sport. |

If it's not remotely competitive - then in my books - it just isn't sport. I understand the sentiment epping and it appears that you need to be playing the very top teams in women’s football for it to be competitive. I know more about the cricket than the football insofar as I've watched some competitive women’s cricket. Internationally England, Australia and India are probably the best imo. But I’d say that England and India need to be playing their very best XIs to do well. Australia always seem to be the strongest atm. The best are very good but some of the fringe players are not so good and it can effect matches and their attractiveness. Again, imo. WI, SA and NZ have good players but not so many and if those top players don’t play England will always be favourites. It’s a developing sport. But going back to the 60s and early 70s the standard of fielding in the county championship was, compared to now, much poorer. Players weren’t as fit probably and less emphasis was placed on fielding skills by the counties compared to now. So men’s fielding skills have improved and I’m sure women’s skills will as well. It was just that in the last match India were especially poor in the field. It’s been a long summer with the Commonwealth Games where India were very good. |

I do think there is a danger than they will find it difficult to get up for this series as a result. I would not say women's cricket is any more or less competitive than men's cricket. Australia are the dominant team. India and England are a distant second at the moment and then the West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand are much of a muchness. Just like other sports, sides have good days and bad days. India were well off the pace on Saturday. Doesn't mean women's cricket isn't a sport. |

I didn't even see the game and was just picking up on the comment about it being a very one-sided game. It just gets my back up when (particularly the BBC and particularly women's sport) they try and hype up events which are basically non-competitive and in my books, not sport. To be fair they've done a good job. Apparently the England / Luxembourg WC qualifier at the Brittania Stadium was a sell-out. That's fine. Just not for me. |

England Women v India Women - Today at The Incora County Ground, Derby - Live on the BBC 6pm.The introduction of a women's Indian Premier League (IPL) will lead to a "big time" change in women's cricket in India and beyond, says former India captain Mithali Raj. India are in England for a multi-format white-ball series which begins with three Twenty20 internationals from 10 September and finishes with three one-day internationals, with the final one at Lord's. The women's game continues to grow, with record attendances at every ground in The Hundred, which finished earlier this month. Speaking on a new documentary series called One Billion to One, The Great Indian Cricket Dream, which is due to be screened later this month on the BBC World News Channel and iPlayer, Raj believes the positive changes will only continue. "With the Women's IPL announced for next year [March 2023], clearly things are going to change big time for women's cricket," said Raj, who is India's most decorated female cricketer. "Now is the time for girls to take up the sport as a profession because it is viable and there is money involved, and now it's not in obscurity - there is so much attached to women's cricket. "There is fame and glory, and with social media, everything is amplified. Not many girls had a female role model in cricket until now." Raj, who played 12 Tests, 232 ODIs and 89 T20s for India, says the route into the women's game is much clearer in India than when she started playing in the early 1990s. "For my grandparents, it was difficult for them to process that their granddaughter was getting into sport, and a sport which is a rough sport," said Raj. "None of my cousins are into sport and I'm the only one in the family who has chosen what was an unconventional profession for a women to take up back in those days. "My first impression of cricket was that it was only meant for boys because the academy my brother was at was full of boys. I didn't see a single girl. "Then one day my brother's coach asked me to pick up the bat. I obviously impressed him, perhaps more than my brother did, because the coach told my dad to invest his energy, time and money into turning his daughter into a cricketer rather than his son." ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/13D57/production/_126593218_mithali.jpgMithali Raj scored more than 10,000 international runs for India

England Women won the toss and decided to bat 1st, T20 Match v India Women at The Incora County Ground, Derby.
England 142-6 (20 overs) Kemp 51no, Bouchier 34, Jones 17, Rana 3-24.
India 146-2 (16.4 overs) Mandhana 79no, Kaur 29no, Verma 20, Ecclestone 1-22.
India Women win by 8 wickets
Opener Smriti Mandhana made an unbeaten 79 to guide India to an eight-wicket win over England and set up a decider in the three-match Twenty20 series.
Chasing 143 to win, India got home with 20 balls left in Derby, as Mandhana hit 13 fours in her 53-ball innings.
She was supported by Harmanpreet Kaur's 29 not out and Shafali Verma's 20.
Earlier England made 142-6, having been 18-3 and 54-5, with 17-year-old Freya Kemp hitting a maiden half-century, smashing an unbeaten 51 off 37 balls.
India were much improved from their ragged performance in the series' opening game on Saturday, with Radha Yadav superb in the field and Sneh Rana taking 3-24.
They were then backed up by a brilliant Mandhana, who made her 17th T20 half-century, and her sixth against England, with a classy show of power and guile.
The final match in the T20 series takes place at Bristol on Thursday (18:30 BST), before three one-day internationals follow from Sunday.

Which all goes to show that India are a decent side when their top players click. Verna, Mandhana and Kaur are very good players. Not quite so one sided as the first match but an Indian win was never in doubt. I didn’t watch it start to end but dipped into it for a few overs here and there and it was a well deserved win. Set up the last match nicely at 1-1.

England Women v India Women - First match of ODI series - Venue: 1st Central County Ground, Hove - Date: Sunday, 18th September - 11am.England teenagers Alice Capsey and Freya Kemp have earned their first one-day international call-ups for the three-match series against India. Capsey, 18, hit an unbeaten 38 as England won the Twenty20 series 2-1. India won the second T20 game despite Kemp, 17, smashing an unbeaten 51 off 37 balls for her maiden half-century. "Sometimes when you're missing big name players, other players step up and take their chance and I felt we really did that," said coach Lisa Keightley. "It's a young group but they worked tremendously hard and showed their skill and resilience to get over the line."

England Women v India Women - 3rd ODI - At Lords, London - England Women won the toss and decided to field.India 169 all out (45.4 overs) Sharma 68no, Mandhana 50, Cross 4-26. England 153 all out (43.3 overs) Dean 47, Jones 28, Thakur 4-29. India Women win by 16 runs India win series 3-0 England v India: Lord's finale ends with controversial run out as tourists claim series win.India completed a 3-0 series victory over England in the third and final one-day international after a controversial dismissal by Deepti Sharma. England required 17 runs to win, with one wicket left, when bowler Deepti stopped in her delivery stride to run out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end and secure the victory. The game was reaching a tense conclusion when Dean was dismissed for 47 at Lord's. England were visibly aggrieved at the dismissal, which is within the laws of the game but seen by many as against the spirit of cricket. The mode of dismissal is often referred to as a Mankad, after Indian batter Vinoo Mankad, who was the first player to enact the type of run out in a Test match. It was England women's first game at Lord's since their World Cup triumph over India in 2017. The dramatic conclusion to the game, which prompted boos from some inside the ground, somewhat overshadowed legendary fast bowler Jhulan Goswami's farewell to international cricket and India's first series win in England since 1999. ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/480/cpsprodpb/D073/production/_126836335_gettyimages-1426954642.jpg
