Summary

Henry Moeran is alongside England World Cup winner Alex Hartley & BBC Sport cricket writer Ffion Wynne for reaction to England’s defeat to Australia in the second ODI of the Women’s Ashes in Melbourne.

Plus, Afghanistan women's cricketer Firooza Amiri speaks to Henry about her hopes for the Afghanistan women’s team and wanting more support from the ICC.

Keep up to date with everything happening on and off the field in the Women’s Ashes, with ball by ball commentary on BBC Sounds, and podcasts after every game from Australia. The third ODI starts at 10:45pm Thursday evening!
