Middlesex Women play on the main ground at Lord's for the first time against Marylebone Cricket Club this afternoon.

The T20 match is the second of two games to be held on 'Women's Day' at the home of cricket, with former England captain Charlotte Edwards leading Marylebone.

World Cup winners Sarah Taylor and Georgia Elwiss will also be in action as they return to the scene of last summer's final, which was the last women's match to be played at Lord's.

Organisers are hoping Tuesday's match will draw the biggest-ever crowd for a domestic women’s game in England - trumping the 3,413 who turned out for the 2017 Kia Super League Finals Day at Hove.

What they're saying

“This is a big thing for women’s cricket and for Middlesex,” said Fran Wilson ahead of the match.

“Most of the girls haven’t played at Lord’s, or any major ground, and it’s been a big ambition of ours. We’ve wanted to do it for a while and have been talking about it, and how it’s a bit unfair that we haven’t. It’s not normal, so we feel privileged.”
