Danni Wyatt: England opener Danni Wyatt‑Hodge said she is hoping to ‘smash Indian bowlers’ on her return to cricketing action from maternity leave as the hosts prepare to face India in the second women’s T20I in Bristol on Saturday.

Danni returns after taking time off from the T20I series against New Zealand and the first T20I against India to welcome her daughter, Daisy, with partner Georgie Wyatt-Hodge. Her return to action comes at a time when England are 1-0 behind in the three-game series.

“I’ve had a lot of cricket over the last few months, with lots of England camps. For me, it's all about being mentally ready. I've played a lot of cricket over the years, and it's all about being calm. I've played a lot of international cricket, and you learn what works for you.
