AUS Women vs ENG Women, Only Test at Worcester, Jul 10 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary

England women retained their Ashes by drawing the one-off Test against Australia in Worcester

England's Beth Morgan did a Paul Collingwood, scratching and grinding out a vital half-century while Laura Marsh - admittedly a slightly better batsman than Monty Panesar - offered 38 as England's women continued to defy Australia at Worcester

Australia's remarkable turnaround in this match was briefly halted by Beth Morgan and Jenny Gunn, as England's sixth-wicket pairing at last dug deep for the home side, putting on a stabilising stand of 57 on the second day of the Test at Worcester
