Aus W Vs Eng W: The first women’s ashes test match of 2023 has been a rollercoaster so far. We are past the 3rd day, and we still do not know where this match will go. This is what test cricket is all about.
England was all set to dominate Australia with Beaumont in charge, but it fell apart when no one else stayed with her on the pitch. England’s last five wickets fell, combining just 73 runs in total. As a result, Australia was able to hold onto a mere 10-run lead.
Tamsin Beaumont played a record-breaking inning of 208 runs while facing 331 deliveries. And England was in complete control when Ashleigh Gardener struck and disabled the English lower order completely.
Ashleigh Gardener comeback
Just like Ecclestone stopped Australia in the first inning, Gardener stopped England right in its track. Gardener stuck 4 times to put a stop to England’s attack. Other than her, Tahlia McGrath took three wickets, with Darcie Brown, Ellyse Perry, and Annabel Sutherland taking 1 wicket each.
The noticeable performances from the English side other than Beamount were from Heather Knight(57), Nat Sciver-Brunt(78), and Danni Wyatt(44). Other than these four, no English batswoman touched the score of 20, with two players getting out on zero.

Aus W Vs Eng W: Perfect start for Aussies
After registering a lead of 10 runs, Australia came back to bat again. Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield made sure not to make the same mistakes as the first inning, giving Australia a perfect start.
By the end of day 3, Australia has made 82 runs without any loss. This takes their lead to 92 runs, and it will be a tough task for England to stop them. Beth Mooney was playing sensibly and was on 33 runs, and Phoebe started batting aggressively and scored 41 runs in 55 deliveries by the end of the day.
