That’s it from me today, Heather Knight’s England take the T20I series 2-1 and both squads have three short days to dig out the whites before battle commences in the first Women’s Test match in India in nearly a decade. It’ll be England’s first Test there since way back in 2005.

We’ll have OBO coverage of that game and plenty more over the coming weeks. Thanks for your comments and company, goodnight!

Heather Knight has the final say:

It was a good learning experience for us, we decided to rest some players and give others an opportunity. The crowd was noisy! Having that composure would be a great learning for youngsters. We didn’t quite apply ourselves well enough… 140 would have been a good score but we were probably a little bit short on getting a total for our bowlers to defend. We take lot of positives, we did well to put the pressure back on them and also learnt a lot about some of our younger players.”
