Aus vs Eng: Day 1 of the Women’s Ashes Test match, Australia’s 49th over 148-3 (Haynes 62, Lanning 56) A leg slip is deflected to Ecclestone’s over, another clear from England’s leading twirler.
Threw A very Hard Spell :-
Only one scattered single from hens to mid-on. It looks like Kate Cross is back in the campaign, throwing a pretty tough spell at the morning convention. England expects something to happen.

Aus 148-3 (Haynes 59, Lanning 55) Clear from Dean, just a couple of singles. Eng is looking for one here. Dig in. Seems like a significant passage in the game already.
Thanks, Geoff, cute as per. Jim will be with you for the rest of the day, in the words of Boss, Heather Knight in addition to Bruce Springsteen in this example – “Is there anyone out there?
The Leg Side For Hens :-
Australia 146-3 (Rachael Haynes 59, Lanning 55) Ecclestone finds his length but loses his line, turning leg side for Haynes to pass away through fine leg for a four-leg bye.
England has let the game slip. A little cheer as Ecclestone hits the pads and a nice appeal fades away, but too much.
That’s enough for me today. James Wallace will steer the ship from here.
Half a century Lanning of 51 runs in 97 balls
Australia’s 43rd over 133-3 (Haynes 54, Lanning 51) Ecclestone comes to the changed end. Will it be a double spin or will Dean be out of action? A slip and a short leg for the left-arm orthodox spinner, who again gets too short for Lanning and is cut for two.
There is a deep point and a deep square foot to protect the boundaries. Lanning pulls! Deep square leg penalty for four! It is Lanning’s 50, and he is six runs away from his highest Test score.
The Half A Century Haynes 52 off 107 Balls :-
Aus vs Eng: Australia 112-3 (Haynes 52, Lanning 36) Desmond Haynes’ bit in that shot, as Rachel Haynes, leans back and hits a pull shot through the leg side for her eighth boundary. The length of the sieve is abundantly short, given that hens are adept at pulling off length balls.
Haynes drops and drives a run to cover, bringing Lanning to cash on width from Brunt on strike – not much width but not much to expect Lanning to slam a cut shot over the fence. Then Point Thru, for one, plays his trademark straight bat punch.
For fielders many miles away, they swap between right-handers and left-handers. Tight off-side field, so Haynes tries to pull it to the leg.

Not abundant for the shot and he skews it! Lands between mid-on and midwicket. Shrubsole could have done better, she actually ran around the ball in addition to taking the catch.
Haynes tried to bring it from too wide. Rachael Haynes departs from the strike, then Brunt sends a swift bouncer to Lanning who is going away as the ball is pulled. Got single, but didn’t see the ball, that too was lucky.
There is one thing missing from Lanning’s comprehensive cricket CV which is a major Test inning, things in this document have never worked out for him. Maybe today is the day.
