Welcome to today’s women’s international cricket update featuring overnight results, today’s matches, breaking news and a look back through history.

News in brief

The second T20 International between England and New Zealand gets underway this afternoon in Canterbury (midnight in Asia Pacific). England lead the series 1-0 so can win the series today if they put on the same clinical performance as they did in game one. Can the White Ferns lift to show their more recent good form and square the ledger?
More injury woes plaguing teams heading into the World Cup. It’s Ireland’s turn now as skipper Gaby Lewis pulls out of the tri-series against West Indies and Pakistan with a leg injury. Orla Prendergast will lead the side in her absence in the series which gets underway on Thursday.
History made in 1937 with Australia’s brief stopover in the Netherlands on this day in 1937 prior to their Test series against England.
