Sutherland stars as Australia score 473 in Women’s Ashes Test

LONDON: Annabel Sutherland was unbeaten on 137 as Australia were bowled out for 473 runs on the second day of the one-off women’s Test against England on Friday.

The visitors, 328-7 overnight, frustrated Heather Knight’s team, with tailenders Alana King (21) and Kim Garth (22), adding valuable runs alongside all-rounder Sutherland.

Ellyse Perry scored 99 on Thursday as the Ashes holders made a strong start to the match at Trent Bridge, racking up the sixth-highest total in the history of women’s Test cricket.

England spinner Sophie Ecclestone took 5-129 in 46.2 overs, her first five-wicket haul in Tests.

The five-day match is part of a multi-format Ashes series including three Twenty20 matches and three one-day internationals.
