Tourists cruise to eight-wicket victory in third match Kim Garth (3-11) and Ashleigh Gardner (3-23) lead charge A ruthless Australian women’s cricket team has shown little mercy to Bangladesh, thumping the hosts by eight wickets to clean sweep their one-day international series.

The opening pair of Kim Garth and Ellyse Perry dominated early, removing the top three batters – Fargana Hoque (5), Sumaiya Akter (0) and Murshida Khatun (8) – by the end of the eighth ov ..read more

Touring side win by 47 runs to secure series victory Maia Bouchier defies injury to hit 91 and set England on way 4th over: England 29-0 (Wyatt 9, Bouchier 19) Bouchier is in blistering form, she pulls Jess Kerr to the boundary with all the time in the world. 3rd over: England 22-0 (Wyatt 8, Bouchier 13) Hannah Rowe replaces Mair after just one over. She spears the ball into the middle of the pitch where it is soon greeted by a disdainful pull shot from Danni Wyatt! That four makes Wyatt the highest run scorer for England in T20I cricket, a banger to secure the milestone. Wyatt swats Rowe fo ..read more

Australia beat Bangladesh by six wickets: second women’s one-day international – as it happened

Elysse Perry and Ash Gardner steered Australia to a win that seals their ODI series triumph over Bangladesh with one match to play 2nd over: Bangladesh 7-0 (Fargana 3, Sobhana 0) Elysse Perry takes the new ball in the absence of Kim Garth. She starts with a leg-side wide, but her first legitimate delivery almost brings a wicket when Fargana top-edges a pull straight over the head of Healy. Fargana is riding her luck. She’s beaten by some extravagant seam movement, then edges a drive between slip and gully at catchable height. There’s another wide later in the over – the third of the innings an ..read more

Suzie Bates held her nerve in the final over and the White Ferns stayed alive in the T20I series as England fell short in a thriller 6th over: New Zealand 40-0 (Bezuidenhout 29, Bates 11) Drop! Charlie Dean darts one in, Bezuidenhout chips to Glenn at mid off and the catch is spilled! Above head height but a simple enough chance. Glenn seemed to hit her head awkwardly on the turf as she landed too. The batters scamper through for a bonus run. A let off for New Zealand and slowish start from England. End of the Powerplay, spoils to the home side, so far. 5th over: New Zealand 35-0 (Bezuidenhout ..read more

Another captain’s knock from Heather Knight and fine bowling through the middle overs helped England take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series Ohhh, this is soft. The ball’s perhaps a little fuller than Dunkley was expecting but still, no need for her to chip to short midwicket, which is what she does, lost in the supermarket unsure whether to backwards or forwards. The skipper strikes with her first ball back! 1st over: England 3-0 (Dunkley 2, Beaumont 1) As luck would have it, my browser crashes, returning to show me that England have made a steady start, taking three from Keer’s opening over ..read more
