Rachael Haynes (86), Meg Lanning (93), Tahlia McGrath (52) and Ashleigh Gardner (56) lent vital hands to help Australia end day one of the Ashes Test in Canberra on a promising note at 327/7. Meanwhile, Katherine Brunt and Natalie Sciver shared three spoils each for England. The hosts were made to work hard for their runs through the course of the day by England’s bowlers. A win for Australia in Canberra will ensure they pocket the Ashes, while a draw would mean they only need to prevail in one of the three ensuing ODIs to retain the trophy.
