Sutherland century turns screw on wretched England in women’s Ashes

Test match, day two: England 170; Australia 422-5
Eight dropped catches by England amid fielding misery

After a mere 90-year wait, a second woman will finally join Peggy Antonio up on the Melbourne Cricket Ground honours board – take a bow, Annabel Sutherland. The 23-year-old already had a Test double-hundred to her name, scored against South Africa last year: now, she will go down in history as the first woman to ever score a hundred at the G.

By the close, Australia had extended their lead to 252, with the real possibility that Beth Mooney – unbeaten on 98 – will join Sutherland up on that honours board by Saturday evening.
