Ash Gardner's bowling heroics have taken Australia to victory in the sole Test match of the Women's Ashes in England giving the tourists a 4-0 lead in the multi-format series.
The game was precariously poised at the beginning of day five at Trent Bridge with England needing 152 runs for victory while Australia chased five wickets.
With the victory Australia takes a 4-0 series lead in the multi-format series which includes a further three one-day internationals and three T20s – all white-ball fixtures are worth two points. The Test match was the first time the Women’s fixture has been played over five days and breaks a streak of six successive women’s Tests without a winner.
Ten overs later Gardner turned the screws and trapped Sophie Eccelstone in front, bowled Luaren Filer two overs after that and picked up the last wicket with an LBW shout on Wyatt two balls later.
