Women's game is ready for five days of cricket, says Kate Cross
England are currently preparing for a four-day Ashes Test against Australia, but Kate Cross believes the women's game is ready for the step up to five-day matches.

But while we eagerly anticipate the series opener, England's Kate Cross thinks fans should be treated to an extra day of action.
Frankly, four-day Tests are naturally going to result in more draws, and it's an issue that has plagued the results of the women's game for a while now, with England's last four Test matches all ending in draws.
The last time England won a series was against Australia back in the 2013/14 Ashes. By adding a fifth day, Cross believes many of the issues will be resolved.
