A hat-trick for @CalvertLewin14 and he's now the leading goal-scorer in the Premier League. Been a while since @Everton had a top flight golden boot winner.

Mixed feelings for England Women skipper Heather Knight.

So excited to get going on Monday 🦁🦁🦁but it's been a difficult week for the ECB and I wanted to say that we're all thinking of those people whose roles are potentially at risk. We know how much you care about the game and how hard you work.
