Meanwhile, the English FA have given their best wishes to their cricket counterparts. Could a win today be followed by glory at Euro 2016 for the footballing contingent?

WI Women are 135/1 and need 14 runs from 12 balls - that's easily doable, but this is where the nerves come in. Play it safe and risk a frantic finish, or go for broke and risk a collapse?

[3 April 2016 12:44 · tom.doyle]

... go for broke it is! That's a four off the first ball of the penultimate over, which leaves 10 runs needed off of 11 balls.

[3 April 2016 12:44 · tom.doyle]

Another four!

Poor fielding sees Dottin smash another four, and now it's just 6 from 10.
