By Australia? (in England)
By Australia in England in over 70 years
Australia won the Womenâs Ashes test at Trent Bridge today, beating England by 89 runs. Ashleigh Gardner claims all five wickets to fall on the final morning, and 12 wickets for the match - both sets of figures are Australian records. Gardner finished with 8/66 to go with her 4/99 in the first innings and was named player of the match.
In the first innings, Tammy Beaumont became the first English player to score a double hundred in a womenâs test (208), while Australiaâs Annabel Sutherland made her first test century with 137 not out.
Australia claimed four points for the test victory, meaning if England were to regain the Ashes, they would have to win five of the six remaining matches (ODI and T20).
Gardnerâs performance was just incredible. Amazing advertisement for 5 day cricket.

Iâm a bit surprised they havenât opted for 2 Groups with a shorter pool phase and having a longer say Super 8 quarter final type stage before the semis and final.
Because of the 2007 World Cup, when India missed out on qualifying for the Super 8 phase, so only played 3 matches in the tournament.
Ever since then weâve had torturous formats that maximise the number of Indian matches and thus the amount of money the ICC can sell the TV rights for.
Just Stop Oil protesters have invaded the ground at the Ashes test a couple of overs in.
Johnny Bairstow quick to the rescue picking up and carrying one of the protesters off.
First time Iâve ever cheered for an England player during an Ashes test!

UPDATE: half centuries from Travis Head (77 from 73 balls), Steve Smith and David Warner had put Australia on a solid position at stumps on the first day of the second Ashes test at Lordâs. Sent in to bat in overcast conditions (with two brief rain interruptions) and on a green top, the tourists ended the day on 5/339, with Joe Root picking up two late wickets.
We should start our own action group⌠Just Stop Climate Wankers
Nathan Lyon could be ruled out of the rest of the Ashes series with a calf injury, as England fought back on the second day of the second test at Lordâs, despite Steve Smithâs 2nd century at the venue (and 32nd overall). At stumps, England are 4/278 in reply to Australiaâs 416.
At stumps of day 3 of second Ashes test at Lordâs, Australia are 2/130, leading England by 221 runs, after dismissing the home side for 325, taking the six remaining wickets in the morning session.
Some great play tonight, was yelling and clapping in awe just before
England are going to win this.
The only way I think that Australia could win if they get Stokes out.
This aged nicely but I still think itâs too little, too late.
I donât know England bottom order is not to strong on the batting
