England and Australia will now be allowed to warm up on the Lord's outfield before the Women's T20 World Cup final on Sunday. Initially, both teams were informed that they could not access the main field until after a performance by pop star Rita Ora.

Rita Ora's set is scheduled to start at 14:30 BST, just half an hour before the toss and one hour prior to the match's commencement. This led to the teams preparing to warm up on the Lord's Nursery Ground instead, as they awaited access to the main outfield.

However, a last-minute decision has been made, allowing bowlers to utilize the main ground for warm-ups before Ora's performance. The ICC has been approached for comments regarding this adjustment.

Pre-match performances on the outfield are common during World Cups. A similar situation occurred during the men's T20 final in India earlier this year when Ricky Martin performed.

The change primarily affects bowlers, with Nat Sciver-Brunt, the team captain, expressing concerns about the warm-up routine. She noted that players prefer to bowl on practice wickets adjacent to the match surface, but they will face a half-hour gap during Ora's performance.

There's a few moving parts with the pre-game stuff tomorrow,
