England Womens Kate Cross on being the fines master, Sarah Taylors milestone and Sundays deciding T20I at the Bullring. 100 is the Magic Number After our successful start to the one-day international campaign we were looking forward to the opportunity to play the second encounter at SuperSport Park in Centurion, and hoping to wrap up the series. Unfortunately it wasnt to be. After a bit of a shaky start, the batting unit managed to post a competitive total thanks to a great 10th-wicket partnership from Danielle Hazell and the Hoof (Anya Shrubsole). A pan of SuperSport Park at Centurion In the field, unfortunately strike bowler Katherine Brunt had to bow out of the match due to injury in the 10th over, which was a huge blow to the bowling unit - we never really looked ourselves, and the South African girls crossed the line thanks to an impressive innings by Lizelle Lee.Although we lost at Centurion and the series was level at 1-1 it wont take away what a special day we all shared with Sarah Taylor, who, before the game, was presented with her 100th ODI cap from former England Womens World Cup-winning captain, Karen Smithies.Not many people can say they have represented their country that many times and we are all really proud of Sarah and what she has achieved. I think it was even more fitting that she got that cap at Centurion! Sarah Taylor receives her 100th ODI cap Series Decider/Valentines Special It was then to the Wanderers on Valentines Day where the series decider was played at the Bullring. What a ground that is, by the way!Due to Katherines injury it meant I got an opportunity to play, and it is always a special day when you pull your England shirt on. We bowled first and restricted South Africa to 196, and we then knocked them off to take the series 2-1.The batting performance was steadied by Heather (Knight) and Georgia (Elwiss) who also managed to bag her maiden ODI half century. Im really pleased I was there to see it. Well done G! Kate reckons a rose she was given by Heather Knight proved crucial! Special mention as well goes to Trev (Heather) for picking up player of the match as well as player of the series. Guateng Cricket had kindly given us all a red rose before the game and Heather offered hers to me, so Im putting her success down to that! Everybody loves the red rose after all. After a series win the changing room is always a very happy place, and it meant we were able to belt out the new team song. There were also a few nerves around as it was our first rendition in front of Queen Clare Connor! Talk about pressure to perform!The ODI series contributes towards the ICC Womens Championship table which leads to qualification for the Womens World Cup in England next year, so it was good to get some more wins on the board. Double bonus! England Women celebrate with the ODI trophy The day was completed nicely with a fines meeting in the dressing room. I was fines master this trip which was good fun. Safe to say Robbo (Mark Robinson) picked the most fines up with Katherine Brunt coming in a close second, mostly because she contested all her fines. Schoolgirl error, Brunty!This is where I left the girls to take on South Africa in a three-match T20 series, and Im writing this now with the scoreline once again poised at 1-1.Exactly seven days on from the ODI series decider at the Wanderers, the girls will be back there tomorrow, with the action live on Sky Sports 2 from 7.55am UK time.

CLEVELAND -- The Latest on the World Series (all times local):8:30 p.m.Once again, Indians manager Terry Francona is torn on what to do in left field.The good thing is that Carlos Santana isnt an option.Francona was forced to start Santana, his regular designated hitter, twice in left at Wrigley Field, where Cleveland had to play under National League rules. Santana more than held his own in Games 3 and 5.I was really proud of him, Francona said of Santana, who had only played four innings in left in his career before Game 5. Hes come a long way. Took a lot of work in that four- or five-day span for him to be out there, and I thought it was pretty cool. Ill be glad that we can DH somebody though.Francona is now trying to decide whether to play Coco Crisp or Rajai Davis in left for Game 6 against Chicago right-hander Jake Arrieta. Davis had two hits and stole three bases in Game 5.Francona said hes leaning toward Crisp but wants to discuss it first with bench coach Brad Mills.---8:15 p.m.Cubs manager Joe Maddon anticipates closer Aroldis Chapman will be available for another long outing in Game 6.Chapman threw 42 pitches in Game 5, getting the first eight-out save of his major league career.I dont know that we could do what we did yesterday, necessarily. But Ill talk to him tomorrow, Maddon said Monday. Hes a pretty strong guy. Beyond that I dont think weve overused him to this point. Im just talking about the latter part of the season as well as the playoffs, hes been in pretty much a little dabs, not the lengthy moment like you saw yesterday. Ill check with him tomorrow. Ill definitely listen to what he has to say. Im betting that he would probably think that he would be good for two innings, I would imagine tomorrow.---8:15 p.m.Rookie catcher Willson Contreras is set to start in Game 6, with Jake Arrieta on the mound for the Chicago Cubs.David Ross, a 39-year-old in his final big league season, started Games 1 and 5 along with pitcher Jon Lester. Contreras started Games 2, 3 and 4.Willsons done a great job. He caught Jake well in Cleveland a couple days ago, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.Contreras is hitting .071 (1 for 14) in the Series, and Ross is 1 for 4. Lester could enter a Game 7 in relief.Youd have to make a decision how you want to utilize that if you actually put Jonny in the game, who you want catching Jon in that moment, Maddon said. So theres a lot of little subplots going on.---6:55 p.m.With the Chicago Cubs successfully fighting off elimination by Cleveland, World Series Game 5 attracted its most television viewers in nearly two decades.Chicagos 3-2 win Sunday was watched by 23.6 million on Fox, the network said Monday, attracting a 13.1 rating and 21 share.Kansas Citys Series-clinching, 12-inning victory over the New York Mets in Game 5 last year received a 10.0/17 and 17.2 million viewers.
