England and India will play a series of warm-up matches at Uppingham School before the start of their internationals this summer.

The tourists will practice at the Rutland venue on Tuesday August 1, while Charlotte Edwards' England side get into their stride against an England Development XI that same day.

India will take on the same Development XI the following day; and then on August 3, MCC will provide the final warm-up opponents for the tourists.

The two sides will head west and meet for the first time on Saturday August 5 at Derby in a floodlit NatWest Women’s International Twenty20 before the first npower Women's Test at Grace Road from August 8-11.

The five NatWest Women's Series ODIs take place between August 14 and 25 at Lord's, Shenley, Arundel and The Rose Bowl.

And the summer series is completed by the second npower Women's Test at Taunton from August 29 to September 1.
