Australia is in a commanding position on day two of the Women’s Ashes Test at the MCG after dismissing England for 170 in front of a large crowd. Phoebe Litchfield and Annabel Sutherland will resume at 56 for 1. Australia’s dominance was evident with the strong performance of Kim Garth and Darcie Brown with the new ball, followed by leg-spinner Alana King’s superb display in the middle-order. Despite Nat Sciver-Brunt passing fifty, England struggled to build a solid total. Australia’s deep batting lineup, despite concerns about Ellyse Perry’s fitness, gives them a strong advantage going into day two. The weather forecast is mild with some cloud cover. England will need to regroup and find a way to break Australia’s dominance to avoid a clean sweep. This disappointment in their inability to match Australia’s performance was evident on day one, where Alana King’s impressive display of leg-spin evoked memories of the historic first women’s Test at the MCG in 1935. As the teams prepare for the day’s play, expectations are high for another exciting day of cricket.
