Would love to see Ireland progress through to the World Cup.

 

Disappointed Canada missed out. Nepal and Ireland are the two teams I’d like to see progress to the World Cup.

England fell just short of a record chase in a nerve-shredding defeat by Australia in their opening match of the Women's World Cup in Hamilton.

 

Set 311, the defending champions were taken agonisingly close by a magnificent 109 not out from Nat Sciver.

 

Needing 16 from the final over, bowled by Jess Jonassen, England could only manage three to end on 298-8 and lose by 12 runs.

England all-rounder Ben Stokes says he felt he "let the team down" in their heavy Ashes defeat in Australia.

 

The 30-year-old returned to action for the series in December after taking four months off to protect his mental well-being and rest an injured finger.

 

He claimed a total of just four wickets and only twice scored more than 50 runs as England lost the Ashes 4-0.

 

"The thing that grinds me the most, that hurts me the most is that I let a lot of other people down," he said.

 

"One of my reflections on the tour as a whole was I personally felt that I let the team down, for more than just performances. I would have liked to be in better physical shape when I was in Australia.

 

"I never want to feel like that again because it was hard to take when you do sit down and reflect on things that don't go quite well and Australia was one of them."

A collapse of five wickets for 18 runs saw India slip to 114-6 on a blameless surface in Tauranga.

 

But Pooja Vastraka, with 67, and Sneh Rana, who made 53 not out, added 122 to drag the 2017 runners-up to 244-7.

Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took 4-47 to become India's second leading Test wicket-taker, behind Anil Kumble.

 

Sri Lanka, responding to India's huge total of 574-8 declared, reached 161-4 on the third day before losing their final six wickets for 13 runs.
