A finger injury and lack of sleep did not stop Ashleigh Gardner from starring in the one-off Ashes test as she tore through England's batting line-up and claimed the best match figures for an Australian woman in their 89-run victory.
Ashleigh Gardner took eight wickets in England's second innings as Australia's women secured victory in the one-off Ashes Test match by 89 runs on Monday. Chasing the highest run chase in women's Test history of 268 to win, England were all out for 178 as Gardner took all five wickets to fall on the final day. Defeat at Trent Bridge gives England a mountain to climb if they are to reclaim the Ashes. Australia's Test win is worth four points in the multi-format series with three one-day internationals and T20 matches to come, each worth two points. The Australians are world champions in both white-ball formats and also proved just too good with the red ball after a tight contest that went all five days in front of record crowds for a women's Test in England.
NOTTINGHAM, England : England were reeling at 116-5 at stumps on day four of the women's Ashes test on Sunday chasing a target of 268, giving Australia the upper hand going into the final day of the one-off match at Trent Bridge.
The one-off Test match between England and Australia hangs in the balance after Tammy Beaumont struck a fantastic century in day two of the Ashes at Trent Bridge. At the end of the day's play, Beaumont remained unbeaten with a score of 100 as England reached a total of 218-2 in their reply to Australia's 473. Ad Beaumont joins Heather Knight, Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan as the England players to score centuries in all three formats of the game.
NOTTINGHAM, England : Australia's Annabel Sutherland went into the record books with the highest score for a women's batter at number eight or lower with an unbeaten 137 before picking up a wicket in her first over on Friday as England trail by 255 runs in the Ashes test.
Australia's Ellyse Perry hit an eye-catching 99 before Sophie Ecclestone led England's fightback on the first day of the women's Ashes on Thursday. Perry was Australia's driving force as the tourists reached 328-7 at close of play in the lone Test of the multi-format series at Trent Bridge. In the biggest moment of a dramatic day, Perry overturned an lbw verdict off Lauren Filer's first ball at international level. Perry, who had scored only 10 at the time, went on to reach her fifth 50-plus score in 10 Tests against England.
Lauren Filer’s ability to “bang the ball in” has earned the pace bowler an unexpected place in Heather Knight’s side for Thursday’s Ashes Test. The England captain is seeking an aggressive attack that can take all Australia’s wickets to secure a first result in a women’s Test since 2015.
C ontrary to popular belief, this is not the first time the women’s and men’s Ashes have run concurrently, nor is it the first attempt at joined-up marketing by the England and Wales Cricket Board. The 2013 “#RISE for the Ashes” campaign featured Alastair Cook and Charlotte Edwards, admittedly on separate posters, with the same squiggly orange flames as the backdrop.
