Pink-ball Test: Sutherland Hits 129 As Australia Extend Lead To 112 Runs Despite Indian Fightback
Debutant Lucy Hamilton: Annabel Sutherland smashed a masterful 129 to put Australia in command of the pink-ball Test against India, as the hosts extended their lead to 112 runs at the dinner break on day two’s play, despite a determined effort from the visitors to stay in the contest.
The session majorly belonged to Annabel, who reached her fourth Test century off 133 deliveries and became the first Australian woman to score four hundreds in the format and the first to record three tons in succession.
Her innings laced with 17 boundaries was marked by patience and authority, mixing crisp drives with calculated aggression, and she passed 700 career Test runs in the process. Annabel’s dismissal – caught at long-on by Harmanpreet Kaur off Deepti Sharma – came after she had anchored Australia’s middle order through a tricky passage, as India fought back with a cluster of wickets.
