Women's Ashes Test: Match Ends In A Thrilling Draw As England Suffer A Collapse On Day 4
The one-off Test in the women's Ashes ended in a thrilling draw as England managed to survive the last two overs with one wicket in hand against Australia at the Manuka Oval on Sunday. The narrow draw meant that the women's Ashes is still alive with a three-match ODI series still left to play. The match also makes up for a strong case to have more women's Test matches in future, with the duration being extended to five days.
After Australia declared at 216/7 to set England a target of 257 off 48 overs, the tourists took on the challenge with aplomb. Tammy Beaumont was quick off the blocks, hitting seven boundaries to get 36 off 42 balls before Rachael Haynes at cover plucked a catch out of thin air to send the right-hander back to the dressing room.
