    • Big Picture


    If a Ashes-retaining debate had been “a good starting point” for Australia to theatre a turnaround after relinquishing their universe titles in both limited-overs formats, captain Meg Lanning’s lapse to general cricket now awaits decoration in a form of a double array triumph.


    A T20 array feat for a initial time in scarcely 3 years beckons Australia, shortly after their 3-0 ODI array win opposite India. Barring a eight-wicket detriment opposite England, in Lanning’s absence, Australia have looked ominous in their proceed and application, with their batting and bowling units syncing perfectly.


    Heather Knight’s England, on a other hand, would be heedful after pang dual unbroken defeats in as many days forward a final. Having razed down both their opponents in their initial dual games, fielding all their 3 debutants on tour, they found themselves limited to 96 in their final confront opposite Australia, and yielded to India for 107 on Thursday.


    England are likely, therefore, to lapse to a some-more tested combination, featuring aged palm Jenny Gunn, who became a initial cricketer to play 100 T20Is on Mar 25.

    In a spotlight


    Much of England’s fortunes on Saturday will rest on their many inclusive run-getter in this tournament. That it was a same batsman, Danielle Wyatt, who also scripted a side’s come-from-behind, points-levelling Ashes debate in Nov will not be mislaid on Australia. Apart from Wyatt’s lass general ton, that trumped Beth Mooney’s 70-ball 117 during a Manuka Oval, Australia will do good to also bear in mind her dispersion of India 6 days ago.


    To transcend their fiercest rivals a second time this series, Australia will need a sharp-shooting skills of their usually bowler to explain a hat-trick, Megan Schutt, who jointly leads a competition wickets draft with 6 scalps. With a small assist off a pitch, Schutt’s change-ups, generally her cutters, can fox anyone. She will wish to have a support of a left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen, who has been a stingiest bowler – among those who have bowled 14 overs or some-more – in this tournament.


    Team news


    Beth Mooney, who missed Australia’s final diversion with a amiable abdominal strain, fast lerned in a nets on Friday and is expected to be accessible for selection. Rachael Haynes, however, missed training due to illness.


    Australia (possible): 1 Alyssa Healy (wk), 2 Beth Mooney, 3 Meg Lanning (capt), 4 Ellyse Perry, 5 Elyse Villani, 6 Ashleigh Gardner, 7 Rachael Haynes/Nicola Carey, 8 Delissa Kimmince, 9 Jess Jonassen, 10 Megan Schutt 11 Amanda-Jade Wellington


    England discerning bowler Anya Shrubsole is out of row as she continues to redeem from a shoulder injury.


    England (possible): 1 Danielle Wyatt, 2 Amy Jones (wk), 3 Tammy Beaumont, 4 Natalie Sciver, 5 Heather Knight, 6 Fran Wilson, 7 Jenny Gunn, 8 Alice Davidson-Richards, 9 Natasha Farrant, 10 Danielle Hazell, 11 Sophie Ecclestone/Alex Hartley


    Pitch and conditions


    The marks during Brabourne have been so prosaic that 3 of a 10 top women’s T20I totals were amassed over a past week. However, if a same lane as a one on that England played back-to-back matches opposite Australia and India is to be used, a imbecility of a aspect should keep a spinners interested. In that case, a low-scoring competition might not be an improbability.


    Stats and trivia



    • England opener Danielle Wyatt needs 29 runs to transcend her Indian reflection Smriti Mandhana as a heading run-scorer in a series.




    • Australia’s final array feat in T20Is came in Aug 2015, when they consigned Ireland to a 3-0 purify sweep.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is on the rise, but not everyone is convinced

Image
READ MORE I can remember about 10 years ago going to a Cosmetex cosmetic surgery conference in Sydney where a doctor gave a demonstration, injecting the filler Restylane (a form of hyaluronic acid ) into a hooked nose; the de-bumping results were really impressive, and it only took 15 minutes. Since then there has been a steady rise in the use of nose fillers: also referred to as the non surgical nose job. Now, I have had the full-blown open rhinoplasty surgical version so am keen to drill down (pardon the pun) and find out more about the ins and outs of the “liquid nose job”. “Liquid nose jobs” are on the rise. Photo: Shutterstock Shereene Idriss a clinical instructor in dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and a cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City, has lots to say on her #pillowtalkderm about the pitfalls of the liquid nose job. “Liquid rhinoplasty, as seen on social media, appears to be t...

Directly across from the White House, demonstrators filled Lafayette Square park in an atmosphere of both indignation and sadness, before marching toward the Capitol. “We don’t believe in borders, we don’t believe in walls,” Sebastian Medina-Tayac, of the Piscataway Indian Nation, declared in English and Spanish at the start of the rally dubbed “Families Belong Together.” Loudspeakers broadcast the cries of a child split from its relatives, as a Brazilian mother told of being separated from her own son. “I missed nine months of his life and it should never have happened,” said the woman, Jocelyn, whose case dates from before the practice of separating families intensified in May. “Shame! Shame!” ...
