And stumps day 1 of the Pink Ball Women’s Test at the MCG

England all out for 170

Aussies 1/56 in reply

Alana King took 4/45, she's a very special talent

Only concern Ellyse Perry was off the field for over a session with a hip injury

Had a great day...

Thank goodness her name is Alana

Easy mistake to make in 2025 though, I’ll give you that

Have to say the selectors seem to have got it right.

I'd have considered Boland over Starc to give Starc a break but otherwise they seem to be on the money.

[WilliamPowell]

And the women wrapped up their test in the final session of day 3 winning by an innings and 122 runs

Beth Mooney scored 106 to get her name on the honour board as well

Alana King took 5/53 in the 2nd innings to get her name on the honour board too

Was a growth 3 days, pleasured to have been there
