Speaking ahead of the fourth T20 at Old Trafford, Edwards said: “India have really pushed us in the course of the Vitality IT20 series. We knew they’d and we’ve learned loads in regards to the team within the three games to this point.

“There have been some good moments but we’re a team in transition and we want to maintain working hard to do what we’re attempting to do more consistently, and for longer. That’ll be asked of us again within the ODIs.

“This series is the proper preparation for the ICC Women‘s World Cup in India this autumn, however it’s also a series we’re determined to win.”
