England's opener at the Women's T20 World Cup – and the final at Lord's – will be broadcast on free-to-air television.

Lorde - Melodrama

More Art Pop than I was expecting, and all the better for that. Very much enjoyed listening.

The Cars eponymous album

"New wave" music for people who like Tom Petty (not me).

Here's Lauren's post match thoughts following a pretty stellar performance by her yesterday

Danni doing what Danni does! 😍

An important 5⃣0⃣ to back up her century last week 👊

Surrey are 195/5 after 28 overs, requiring 62 more to win.

What a moment. Glad to have given her a standing ovation for that knock.

Fab day at the Oval. A very exciting game where Armitage's century and Filer's fivefer wasn't enough to stop Surrey's rampage marshalled by Danni Wyatt-Hodge.

Really enjoyable game. Filer on fire, Armitage's fine century, and Wyatt-Hodge taking everyone on.

Right time to catch the bus... Looking forward to watching my first game in the flesh this year.

Nat Sciver-Brunt is again one of the England players "managing their workload" this weekend by not playing.
Over the past 3 seasons she has played just five T20s (4 in 2023) & just one 50 over game for The Blaze.

Ah yes... Poor decision by the umpire there.

Rushes towards the YouTube to see what she did...

Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around

Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

A few more done. Really enjoyed the Dylan one, bits of Cash, and this version of Wonder doesn't do it for me.

Perennial '65, by Perennial 5 track album

And a great steadying 50 from ADR too.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge is definitely in the mood. 50 of 35 balls.

Alice in Chains - Dirt

Bog standard 90s rock.

Massive disadvantage for engagement beyond those of us who love the game. Personally I'll be tuning in to #TMS to get my fix.

Australian women's cricket team shows locals how it's done over a pint YouTube video by news.com.au

To be fair some of the Aussie content looks like it understands the need to demonstrate that the sport is fun.

This is the right benchmark. The question I have is whether the right infrastructure is there.

What I saw during the rugby world cup was amazing use of social media/podcasts to demonstrate both the technical side of the game and the personalities within it.

Not yet sure cricket has that covered.

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters

Funkier than I was expecting.

Kings of Lyon - Youth & Young Manhood

First one I didn't get round to listening to. But I remember not being impressed when it first came out.

Frank Orange - Channel Orange

Not my sort of R&B.

A very special day for @isaguha receiving her MBE for services to inclusivity and Cricket.

Congratulations from all your friends & colleagues in the BBC Cricket team.

Not good enough to be considered for a place in The 100 or even county cricket though.

Worth underlining several of these boundaries by Fatima Sana have been hit off the same South African bowlers that Melie Kerr is rightly earning acclaim for taking apart.

Hole - Live Through This

I got the first Hole single after hearing Peel play it. By this stage I wasn't sure, but it's an okay album.
