England v Ireland Women's Cricket ODI Begins

The first women's ODI between England and Ireland is underway at Leicester, with Wong's swing bowling and an unconventional early catch highlighting the match.

The first women's cricket ODI between England and Ireland began at 1pm BST in Leicester. Early in the match, Wong's bowling with swing provided an early challenge, while the wicketkeeper took an unconventional catch by lunging across and using just one hand.

After four overs, Ireland was 13-0 with Tector on 11 runs and Lewis yet to score. Filer's bowling almost resulted in an early breakthrough when a ball swung into Lewis, hitting her pads outside leg stump and deflecting past the off stump. tr-sport.click
