England's women will take on Australia in their first day-night Test match, as part of the 2017-18 Ashes schedule that has today been confirmed by the ECB and Cricket Australia

Australia Women were left 61 runs short of their 185-run target as England Women took the five wickets they required for victory for the addition of just 24 runs, thereby sealing only their fifth Test win in Australia

Australia collapsed to 5 for 57 chasing just 185 as England struck repeatedly with the new ball in the final 90 minutes of play

A late evening collapse by England's top-order left Australia jubilant and rounded off an excellent fightback, after they had been reduced to 37 for 5 on the second morning

Australia failed to round off an otherwise excellent day's work on the opening day of the women's Test at Perth when, having bowled England out for only 201, their openers both succumbed to Anya Shrubsole in a tricky six-over period before close of play
