THE cricket battle between England and Australia continues in Worcestershire over the next week as the two nation's women's teams clash.

The sides are due to face each other in the second NatWest Series match at Kidderminster's Chester Road North ground from 10.45am tomorrow.

England will be looking to bounce back after losing the first of five matches by 12 runs at Cheltenham.

On Saturday, England travel to Barnards Green CC near Malvern for a practice session as they prepare for the second npower Test against the world number one side.

That four-day contest begins at Worcestershire's New Road base next Wednesday from 11am on each day.
