Whilst England's 2017 World Cup win is often attributed as being a momentous moment for the women's game in the UK, the 2009 T20 World Cup laid the foundations for what was to come.

On-field heroes Claire Taylor and Lydia Greenway, as well as coach England Mark Lane and journalist Raf Nicholson, speak to a different sporting landscape, and a tournament that set the ball rolling for the success of the women's game.

The new era's here, and Metro Bank are right at the heart of it.

This team. This chance. This moment.
