Cricket: Day two of the Women’s Ashes Test

August 12, 2024

Heather Knight produced a gusty unbeaten 85 to help England reach 172 for six at the end of the second day at the Women’s Ashes Test match at Wormsley Cricket Ground after Australia had declared on 331 for six.

“It’s a pretty good pitch out there. Our team bats really low down the order so hopefully we can go out tomorrow (Tuesday 13 August), score a few more runs and then come hard at them with the ball,” said Berkshire’s Heather Knight at the close of play.

“I decided to concentrate on what I was doing at my end and not worrying too much about the wickets we were losing other end. I feel good about my cricket at the moment. Whatever I’m doing is working so it’s just about carrying that on. I think it’s going really well.

“However we still need ten more to avoid follow-on so that is our first objection and then there’s the new ball in six overs so hopefully that will bring a few more runs.”
