There are two important differences from recent women’s Tests. The match is being played at Trent Bridge, with a record crowd expected; it’s the first women’s Ashes Test in England to be played at a recognised Test ground since 2001. And, just as importantly, it will be played over five days, rather than four, for the first time since 1992.
The last three Ashes Tests have been draws – two boring, one utterly thrilling. Weather permitting, and the forecast is okay, this game will have a positive result. You have my word.
