Women’s Ashes: Meg Lanning (93) and Rachael Haynes (86) starred with the bat as Australia dominated against England on Day 1 of the ongoing one-off Test in the Women’s Ashes here at the Manuka Oval on Thursday.
At stumps, Australia’s score read 327/7 with Annabel Sutherland (7*) unbeaten at the crease for the hosts. Sent into bat, Australia got off to a poor start as the hosts lost Alyssa Healy (0) and Beth Mooney (3) with just four runs on the board.
