2nd ODI: England, 116-2, bt India, 143-8, by eight wkts (DLS method)Jones hits unbeaten 46 to lead charge in run chaseIf you’ve not yet seen the blockbuster trailer directed by Bend It Like Beckham’s Gurinder Chadha, shot at Lord’s by the England and Wales Cricket Board to promote its 2025 summer of cricket, make sure to search it out. It’s a slightly odd piece of theatre involving Heather Knight, Lauren Filer and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, which culminates in Wyatt-Hodge attempting to run out Filer with a samosa.None of the above were actually on show at Lord’s on Saturday – Knight is injured, Wyatt-Hodge is not in the ODI squad and Filer was dropped for this fixture in favour of Em Arlott – but the key players on this stage were actually a different pair. Because, of course, the “Whack It Like Wyatt-Hodge” trailer was gently poking fun at the storm that erupted last time India played at this ground three years ago, when Deepti Sharma controversially ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker...

19 h. ago France’s eight weeks of summer holidays, or England's six? I’ve done both and know which one I prefer | Gillian Harvey

With vacations of up to 14 weeks on the continent, education can suffer – although on the plus side childcare and holidays are much more affordableRemember the summer holidays of your childhood – the seemingly endless, sunny days many of us look back on fondly? Those six “precious” weeks look very different when you’re a parent.
