Australia are eyeing a clean sweep against an out-of-sorts England. Join Rob Smyth for updates on the second T20
Bell changes ends to replace Kemp. Voll gets off the mark by muscling a good-length delivery over midwicket for four; that’s a ferocious shot.
After a good start to her second over, Kemp is lifted for two boundaries by Mooney – one over extra cover, one over midwicket. Mooney averages 104 in T20 internationals on this ground, including an unbeaten 117 against England in 2017-18.Bell’s first ball is a hooping full toss that Mooney tickles down the leg side for four. The line wasn’t quite right but England will be encouraged by the swing that Kemp and Bell are getting.
“Good morning,” says John Starbuck. “As we sit around awaiting the deluge, it’s good to be reminded of summer, even on the other side of the world. Not that England’s prospects are encouraging. The batting shot selection has been puerile; the bowling inaccurate; and the fielding lamentable. Let’s face it, this series is going to be a whitewash. While there’s no shame in losing to a better team, it needs at least to happen gracefully. Something Must Be Done.
Forget the gap between England and the opposition. The bigger problem is the gap between the way England have been playing since they arrived in Australia and the team they are supposed to be. If Heather Knight, her players, and their head coach, Jon Lewis, are honest with themselves they will know they’ve fallen well short of their own standards, let alone Australia’s.
