Women's Ashes, July 21-Aug 31

They'll need the rain.

Their batting wont save them.

[GarlicJam]

Shrubsole had a 68 minute, 47 ball duck.

The good thing is, she was part of a 37 run partnership.

The good thing is, she was part of a 37 run partnership.

She was probably batting for the rain. There's a severe weather warning for tomorrow and Friday.

[Aidan11]

Boycott would have been proud of an innings like that.

[GarlicJam]

Great start of the day/innings for England. Aus 2/2, with Meg Lanning out for a duck.

The outfield is almost completely under water. Might as well call the match off now. Not sure the outfield will even be ready for the T20 QF on Saturday.

shame the weather has got invovled...was a great 40 mins this morning, Brunt bowled beautfiully, and the game had come to life..

[Aidan11]

Probably saved us from defeat though.

[dan08]

Drainage at Canterbury is better than i thought. Play to restart at 3:45.

[Aidan11]

Another wicket already.

20/3.

[dan08]

No play for the rest of the day.

Looks like it won't rain tomorrow.

Draw probably still slight favourite though.

[GarlicJam]

Dunno. Aus have close on a 200 run lead. If the weather doesn't intervene, there's more than enough time for a result. Another 100 runs should be enough....?

[Aidan11]

An Aussie declaration can't be far away now.

[Aidan11]

Jonassen has a 50 to go with her 1st inns 99.

[dan08]

Declaration must be coming soon. Maybe get to 275 first and have 30 mins before lunch.
