Australian off-spinner Ashleigh Gardner proved to be the star of the show in the Women’s Ashes Test at Trent Bridge, as England struggled to handle her spin. Gardner claimed three top-order wickets to add to her four-wicket haul from the first innings, leaving England struggling at 116-5 at the end of day four. The off-spinner also dismissed England captain Heather Knight and star all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt, leaving Australia just five more wickets away from victory. Beth Mooney, who top-scored with 85 for the Aussies, hailed Gardner as an absolute game changer. Sophie Ecclestone, the world’s number one ranked bowler, took her second five-wickets haul of the Test, but couldn’t stop the top-order collapse in the second innings as England’s chase faltered and Australia took control of the game. The Test is worth four points in this multi-format contest, meaning the Aussies could gain a significant advantage over England.
