Australia beat England by 89 runs to win the one-off Ashes Test match and take a 4-0 points lead in the multi-format series. <\/span><\/p>\n

Spinner Ash Gardner starred with 8-66 as England were bowled out for 178 before lunch on day five at Trent Bridge. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gardner’s effort gave her an astonishing 12 wickets in the match after her four in England’s first innings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Danni Wyatt top-scored with 54 before she was given out lbw to Gardner for Australia to wrap up the victory inside 21 overs on the final day. <\/span><\/p>\n

England resumed on 116-5 after a late collapse on day four left them requiring another 152 to win. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wyatt and nightwatcher Kate Cross added 25 for the sixth wicket before the latter was caught behind for 13 off Gardner, who took all five remaining wickets. <\/span><\/p>\n

England then slumped from 151-6 to 178 all out as Wyatt struggled for support from England’s lower order. <\/span><\/p>\n

Amy Jones made just four before she was stumped by Alyssa Healy after a fumble, Sophie Ecclestone was pinned lbw for 10 and Lauren Filer was bowled for a duck.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defeat felt cruel on Tammy Beaumont, who scored 208 in England’s first innings, and Ecclestone, who also took a 10-wicket haul in the match but was ultimately eclipsed by Gardner.<\/span><\/p>\n

The series continues with three T20s and three one-day internationals, all worth two points each, starting at Edgbaston on Saturday 1 July.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gardner the difference despite Wyatt’s resistance<\/h3>\n

Wyatt, unbeaten on 20 overnight, was going to be key to England’s hopes with her naturally aggressive style of play, and she stuck to her task efficiently by reaching her half-century from 78 balls. <\/span><\/p>\n

But Gardner toiled away unchanged in an incredible effort of consistency with the day five pitch offering some uneven bounce and turn. <\/span><\/p>\n

The all-rounder’s match figures of 12-165 are the second-best of all-time in women’s Test cricket, after Shaiza Khan’s 13-226 for Pakistan against West Indies in 2004. <\/span><\/p>\n

England promised an attacking brand of cricket and over four days, proved that they could unsettle Australia, but in a tough morning session, it was the world champions who held their nerve under the pressure. <\/span><\/p>\n

But despite having plenty of reason to be proud of their performance, the hosts now have a very difficult task in overturning Australia’s four-point lead. <\/span><\/p>\n

Australia are world champions in both white-ball formats, their dominance particularly evident in ODIs where they have lost just one match from their last 42. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
