Nat Siver Brunt: Former England captain Nasser Hussain discussed the importance of Sophie Ecclestone and how the left-arm spinner’s inclusion in the XI would mean a lot for the team as they gear up to face South Africa in the all-important Women’s World Cup semi-final.

Ecclestone sustained a minor injury to her shoulder in the team’s last group stage game against New Zealand and was subsequently taken off the field as a precautionary measure.
