England vs Australia LIVE stream: Cricket scorecard and Women’s Ashes updates from day two at Trent Bridge

England have known as up 18-year-old leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed for the second males’s Ashes Test at Lord’s, with issues lingering over Moeen Ali’s injured finger.

Ahmed turned the youngest man to play Test cricket for England when he was picked to tackle Pakistan in December, incomes his cap 126 days after his 18th birthday.

He made an eye catching debut in Karachi, taking seven wickets within the match and 5 for 48 within the second innings, and will be a part of Ben Stokes’ aspect this weekend as cowl for Moeen.

And there, in a session, is the explanation Australia have been so dominant over the previous few years. England would have started their day pondering of extinguishing the tail and readying themselves for a bat, however Australia’s decrease order have held agency in one other show of their superior depth and high quality. Annabel Sutherland’s magnificent hundred from quantity eight will get the headlines however she’s discovered sturdy help from each Alana King and Kim Garth to place their aspect so firmly answerable for the sport.

King was the one wicket to fall, crushed by a Lauren Bell inswinger, however, in fact, England’s seamers have been barely off it, and Sophie Ecclestone unable to trigger constant issues on a floor that also seems to be true and pleasant to the batters. Will Alyssa Healy declare at lunch? Or does the Australia skipper assume her penultimate pair can nonetheless inflict a bit extra psychological harm with so lengthy left within the sport?

Well, if a declaration is imminent, there aren’t any clues provided by Kim Garth, dead-batting all through Sophie Ecclestone’s forty second over as England left-armer wiles away.

That’s lunch – Australia have added 111 this morning for the lack of solely a single wicket and are starting to bat England out of the sport.

There is one thing fairly Ellyse Perry-like about Annabel Sutherland. I’m unsure she’ll ever be fairly the bowler that Perry has been over her worldwide profession, however Sutherland’s endurance and pureness on this innings has been paying homage to Australia’s main seam all-rounder.

That’s not one in all her purer strokes – a little bit of a flap as Filer bangs it in. Four extra runs to the tally, although, off a prime edge to the deep third boundary.

One extra over earlier than lunch.

We are even attending to the purpose now the place Alyssa Healy could take into account a lunchtime declaration, giving her bowlers the break to relaxation up and put together themselves to have a go at a weary England after the interval. This ninth-wicket partnership is now value 72 and has come at almost 5 an over, which, given Garth’s preliminary method, speaks to England’s untidiness within the final few minutes.

That audible frustration launched by Ecclestone a second in the past can also be palpably proven by just a few of England’s fielders as they attempt to work out a technique to finish this innings, which is rising into one thing actually imposing.

News from elsewhere, briefly: England’s males have added Rehan Ahmed to their squad forward of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s subsequent week. The teenage leg-spinner, spectacular on debut in Pakistan through the winter, joins as cowl for Moeen Ali, nursing that blistered finger.

With her job because the regular help act executed, Garth has the liberty to open up a bit, too, lacking a lap sweep however nonetheless in a position to take two byes, earlier than connecting extra cleanly with a extra forceful swipe throughout the road.

Three extra runs observe, and Ecclestone squawks in frustration as Sutherland one way or the other skews a correct hoick into a spot at backward level.

Sutherland’s hundred is the quickest by an Australian in girls’s Test historical past, and the best rating by a batter at quantity eight or decrease.

And with the ton up, Sutherland flicks the change and begins to go on the offensive. Her second boundary is collected equally to the primary, although labored finer off the legs to bisect the two fielders within the deep, however the second is streaky, an outdoor edge flying over the paws of a leaping Heather Knight at second slip. The 50 partnership is up, with Kim Garth’s contribution minimal – although nonetheless helpful.

There it’s! A improbable hundred from Annabel Sutherland, her first in Test cricket!

She’s a greater batter than her place at quantity eight was recommend and this has been an innings full of sophistication, studded with a handful of prim and correct straight drives. Sutherland has hardly ever seemed at risk and brings up the ton with a beautifull timed flick by means of midwicket. (148 balls, 12 fours).
