A look back at yesterday's two matches - #ENGvWI and #AUSvNZ and a selection of #photographs including an #Egret and other #birds and a #muntjac.

Overnight another strong win for England in the WI. Set up by Dunkley and Jones with the bat, then brilliant bowling again, especially by Bell. A great showing, especially given the low key nature and lack of prep.

And yet...

I still don't feel the batters are dominating and setting up the game at a level to challenge Aus (or maybe even India now). I hate "it's all about the Ashes" chat, so this feels churlish. But the batting side isn't progressing enough - yet.

Good to wake up to an England cricket victory. Wasn't convinced by the batting lineup order but the final score was OK. Impressive squeeze from the bowling attack.

As England will take on the West Indies this afternoon, here's a shot from the Charlotte Edwards Cup final day last year, which saw notable performances from three of the current squad: Lauren Winfield-Hill (Diamonds), Lauren Bell (Vipers), and Alice Capsey (Stars).

In this semi-final match, Diamonds (led by Winfield-Hill) edged out Vipers (Bell with the best bowling figures). In the final Stars won comfortably (Capsey getting POM).
