lucy bronze, how important is her experience going to be? when you look at the players who are missing, leah williamson. we are are missing, leah williamson.arting point for our team in this tournament. i also know that we have a lot, you know, more that we can give, a lot more to do, little things to work on. so it think it's a good place to start and personally it was good to just get a world cup game under my belt, kind of see how it felt and know what to expect. but, yeah, honestly, itjust makes me more excited for the next game. away from the world cup, in cricket england are in control of the fourth ashes test at old trafford. they've built a big first innings total and australia will resume day four 113 for four in their second innings, still 162 runs behind. england six wickets away from the win that would level the series — but the weather forecast this weekend may well dampen their spirits asjoe wilson reports. what lay behind jonny bairstow�*s innings was the need for england to set up a match—winning position. his 99 not out accelerated the total to 592, a lead of 275. some of the hitting even ben stokes couldn't quite believe.
