Ruthless England unearth new star against Windies women
Em Arlott and Nat Sciver-Brunt starred as England claimed another dominant win to complete a series victory over the West Indies. Having won the first Twenty20 international by eight wickets on Wednesday, England coasted to a nine-wicket victory in less than 10 overs at Hove. The tone was set with the ball by Arlott, who only made her international debut in the first match and took 3-14 from her four overs. After bowling West Indies captain Hayley Matthews for six, Arlott snared Zaida James with the help of a brilliant catch from Sophia Dunkley before sending Stafanie Taylor back for a duck. Arlott also took a catch as England impressed in the field, while Lauren Bell claimed three wickets and Charlie Dean two in the Windies' paltry total of 9-81. Danni Wyatt-Hodge was bowled by James off the first ball of England's reply but it was a minor blip as captain Sciver-Brunt led the home side to victory. She smashed an unbeaten 55 off only 30 balls while Dunkley played the supporting role with 24no as England reached the required total off only 9.2 overs. Arlott was named player of the match, and she told Sky Sports: "Obviously it's kind of a dream start to my career with England. "It's nice to get back to winning ways with the girls. I thought we were great as a unit today. I think everybody really stood up and did a job. It's a great group of girls, they've been great to welcome me in." Sciver-Brunt was full of praise for Arlott, saying: "The bowlers set up the game beautifully today, made great use of the power play, and, when you've got someone who's two games into their career begging me to bowl four overs straight through, it's a dream." England will try to complete a 3-0 series sweep at Chelmsford on Monday.

Em Arlott overcomes self-doubt to help England crush West Indies
Em Arlott overcame anxiety and self-doubt to impress with the ball and in the field on only her second England appearance, as Charlotte Edwards' selection decision paid dividends. The West Indies were restricted to just 81 for nine from their 20 overs in the second T20 international at Hove, with Arlott taking three wickets and two catches, on her first national call-up since 2022. New captain Nat Sciver-Brunt spearheaded the chase, scoring 55 as England knocked off the required runs with ease to win by nine wickets and seal victory in the series with 10.4 overs to spare. Arlott had been called up twice before, for the Test match against India in 2021 only to be left out of the playing XI and ahead of the 2022 Test against South Africa when she was ruled out while suffering from Covid after-effects, but never took to the field. 'It's probably not a publicly known thing, but I've struggled with anxiety in the past and if I played before I think I would've been a different person and player on the pitch,' she said after being awarded player of the match. 'Whereas now I feel like I've really worked on that away from the game and probably coming into this with a lot more confidence and actually believing that I'm good enough to be here, and actually then I think that kind of helps performing.' Over the last few years, one of the criticisms directed at the England Women's set-up was their perceived lack of player rotation. At the start of the professional era, the seam attack was led by Anya Shrubsole and Katherine Sciver-Brunt, but after their retirements the duo were never properly replaced. A number of players have been called up and struggled for consistency, but 27-year-old Arlott has taken to the task with aplomb in her first two matches. Arlott, who is from Norfolk and came through the pathway system of Central Sparks and Worcestershire, did exactly what head coach Edwards asked of players at the start of the year, taking 14 wickets in domestic cricket to earn a place in the team. When asked what allowed her to overcome anxiety and perform on the international stage, Arlott said: 'I had to reflect a lot on what I could control in my life and I think the last time I came into this environment I don't think I believed I was good enough so I didn't really expect anybody else to believe that I was good enough. 'I've always struggled sort of going into newer teams and not knowing people and having to adjust, because the teams that I've played for at regional [level] have both been based in Birmingham, so I've been quite fortunate that I haven't really gone anywhere. 'I just challenged myself, so in the winter I went to Perth and I didn't know anybody and just made myself have to do something uncomfortable and actually it's been really nice that a lot of people have come up to me being like, 'You were a different person than you were 12 months ago'. 'As a person I think I'm more content with who I am and being who I am and not really caring how people take that rather than before.' With ball in hand at the start of the innings in Hove, Arlott did well in the powerplay and claimed the two most dangerous West Indies wickets, bowling Hayley Matthews – who made a century in the first T20 on Wednesday in Canterbury – for just six. The experienced Stefanie Taylor also came back into the side and was out by Arlott, picking out Charlie Dean in the field for a duck.
