    ICC information here

    Tomorrow (Saturday) sees NZ v Sri Lanka and England v India

    Other teams involved:
    Australia
    South Africa
    WI
    Pakistan
    so no Irish interest

    However the women's game has been taking great strides forward and this is a chance to build further with TV coverage or streaming of all matches and a doubling of prize money to $2m

    Unfortunately the womens game is still even more two tier than the mens

    England and Australia both through to the semi finals.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    England scraped through a close one against South Africa (who look very good these days). India or Australia (they play tomorrow) in the final, at a sold out Lords, which is great news for women's cricket I reckon.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Super innings from Kaur 171no, Aussies chasing 281/4 off a reduced 42 overs, that's a tough ask you'd think

    Big innings needed from Lanning, already one down after 2 overs.

    Lanning gone and 10/2, what was a tall order looks even harder now.

    Aye 138-4 now, 16 overs to go, so just shy of 9 an over required, tough but attainable if they don't ship any more wickets for a good while.

    Good knock from Blackwell and made the score look at lot closer than maybe it felt near the end.

    India look formidable, and comfortably beat England already this tournament, but I'm still hoping for a home win!

    Aye I'd like to see England win at home, they go in 4/7 favourites with the bookies, and they went on an unbeaten run after losing to India in their first game, should be an exciting final in front of a packed Lords, great advert for the women's game!

    Nailbiting final

    India just lose their 9th wicket with 11 balls to go and 11 runs needed. Switched round massively over the past few overs with India's batting collapsing in spectacular fashion. Can they pull it out of the bag? Odds definitely against them now

    Now 11 off 10

    Excellent final, tense to the last, some turn around from England there at the end.

    Really enjoyable game. Actually thought it was a pretty good tournament, what I saw of it.
