No. 7 Over: England 31-1 (Beaumont 7, Knights 13) Shute missed the length and Beaumont whipped her wrist, pushing her out of the four-person cover. Another time, Knight threw a pitch too big and was beaten on the next pitch. There was a lovely buzz and chatter from the crowd on the grass carpet.
sixth place Over: England 22-1 (Beaumont 2, Knights 9) Garth ran toward the huge fig tree and spread his arms behind Healy. She started out wide and finished on Knight's shot, but missed. In the middle, Knight picked up four by the thick edge and flew past where a third note might have hovered.
fifth place Over: England 17-1 (Beaumont 2, Knights 5) Knight saw Shute's loose pass and, thankfully, cut the boundary with precision. The inside edge that completes the round is a little less believable.
fourth place Over: England 11-1 (Beaumont 1) Before Garth was rewarded for continuing the pressure, it was time for Bouchier to push another stunning boundary.
wicket! Butchier c Healy b Gass 9 (England 11-1)
This reprieve did not last long. Butchier's foot was still glued to the crease and she made a simple catch behind the stumps for Healy.
Third game: England 7-0 (Beaumont 1, Bouchier 5) Also a teenage girl from Shute – Beaumont and Bouchier both looked eager to get going but couldn't quite hit the ball.
Game 2: England 7-0 (Beaumont 1, Bouchier 5): Kim Garth flew in, followed by a ponytail. Bouchier hit and missed her fourth ball, batted incredibly hard on her fifth and was beaten by her late sixth. A girl who can sing
“Drama version of God Save the Queen”? asked Mark Bender. “I thought the Queen died a few years ago.” Ah – sorry Mark, Charles, if you’re reading. Fifty years after the implementation of the GSTQ, I have developed some psychological barriers to this issue.
First leg: England 7-0 (Beaumont 1, Bouchier 5): Just the wicket of the third delivery – overturned for no ball. What a drama! Maia Bouchier got a life after dragging Schutt's inswinger into the 0-stump, Schutt's boot being the culprit (just). Bouchier immediately lifted the next ball and dropped it into the shade for four.
Players lined up during the national anthem, Britain wore a royal blue top and navy blue trousers, while Australia wore the usual custard. After “Welcome to Country”, the theatrical version god save the queen This made some England players laugh. Promote Australia Expo More direct.
Ebony Rainford-Brent Says she thinks Australians have lost their magic. “Australia of the past will have every trophy. They have lost that ruthless edge that Meg Lanning had. Ebony usually can't go wrong…
Australian team – unchanged
Australian eleven: Alyssa Healy (C & WK), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellis Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabelle Sutherland, Ash Gardner, Thalia McGrath, Alanna King, Kim Gass, Megan Shute, Darcy Brown.
England – without Kate Cross
England team: Tammy Beaumont, Maya Buchier, Heather Knight (c), Nat Sciver-Brent, Danny Wyatt-Hodge, Amy Jones (wk), Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophie Eccleston, Lauren Filler, Lauren Bell.
Not Kate Cross, who has yet to recover from a back injury. England will miss her in the powerplay, which will result in an inexperienced bowling attack.
Australia wins the coin toss and will bowl!
said winning captain Alyssa Healy. “I think it's always a bit early and although we started a bit later than at home, hopefully if we can get the job done early and get a couple of wickets we can keep them within reach. I wore it again today Gloves on, it's been a few months and the team hasn't changed since the last game in New Zealand.

“The sunshine is really nice this morning. Although there may be showers later this afternoon, it is expected to be the best weather so far this week (no thunderstorms yet). This will be good for England who may play against Philer –She slipped about four times while bowling here during the abandoned Governor's XI on Thursday.
It's yet to be confirmed, but Kate Cross is unlikely to feature for England – taking part in only minimal warm-up action yesterday.
our star reporter Raf Nicholson was on the sidelines and she had spotted Mitchell Starc, who she thought might be sitting in the commentary box. She did mention that the weather was sunny as well.
Preface
Hello! The clock has rung. The door is open. The limbs are stretched and the coins are polished. Welcome from snowy Manchester to sunny Sydney as England and Australia take on the first ODI match of the Women's Ashes at North Sydney Oval.
It's been eleven years since England last won the Ashes and despite Australia's defeat in the T20 World Cup final earlier this year, the hosts remain favorites. They greedily devoured India and New Zealand in series earlier this summer, although England also enjoyed a successful pre-Christmas tour of South Africa.
A strong start is crucial as the entire Ashes tournament, which consists of six white-ball matches (three 50-overs and three T20s) and a Test match, takes three weeks. Even though the multi-point test is the final game of the series, falling behind early could put the series out of reach.
The match starts at 10.30 (11.30 GMT) at the stadium. Come join us. Snacks are placed on the side table.
