Tammy Beaumont hit 208, the highest Test score by an England women’s batter, but then had to watch as Australia’s openers raced along
55th over: England 219-2 (Beaumont 100, Sciver-Brunt 42) Kim Garth was Australia’s tidiest operator with the ball yesterday, kept the runs down, and she starts similarly this morning on an off-stump line, treated watchfully by Sciver-Brunt.
54th over: England 219-2 (Beaumont 100, Sciver-Brunt 42) Drama first ball of the day! Darcie Brown booms an inswinger, nails Nat SB on the pad, and she’s given out. The batter reviews, of course she does, biggest wicket remaining and there’s plenty of movement on that ball. So much so that it’s sneaking past leg stump. Hard being a bowler: beat them all ends up with a great delivery, but it’s doing too much.
