LV Women's Test: England v South Africa

England feel like they are "fighting" for the survival of women's Tests, says captain Heather Knight.

International Cricket Council chairman Greg Barclay said this month he does not see women's Test cricket as "part of the landscape moving forward".

England meet South Africa in a one-off Test at Taunton starting on Monday.

"If there's a slightly more attritional section of play - as there is in men's Test cricket - we are judged slightly different," Knight told BBC Sport.
