first women's match at Lord's

Interesting article in today's Guardian:

I was fortunate to work with Shirley Hodges, the wicket-keeper, far left in the top photo carrying gloves.

 Embarrassing defeat for England.  Outplayed throughout, only Jones and Ecclestone making decent contributions.
 Not playing red ball does not help.
