Women's Ashes Series is a multi-format points-based tournament, including three ODIs, one Test and three T20Is. The Trent Bridge Test is the only Test of the series and the first to be held over five days for 31 years. Australia would look to grab all the four points on offer with a flying start in their quest to retain the title, whereas, England will aim to edge past the Kangaroos and lift the crown for the first time since 2015. Four of the past six Tests have been drawn but the extra day should mitigate against that and set one side up for the three T20s (two points for each winner) and three one-day internationals that follow.
England had the better of the last Test they played against South Africa a year ago. Nat Sciver-Brunt made an unbeaten 169, Alice Davidson-Richards chipped in with 107 in a 207-run stand and Kate Cross took four for 63 and two for 56 before they ran oyt of time as they chased a victory by an innings. But since then things have not gone their way, India beat them in the Commonwealth Games semi-final and they fell apart in the plate match against New Zealand. Last February, they cruised to a showdown with Australia in the World T20 semi-final against South Africa but were diddled by Ayabonga Khaka's dobbers and went from needing 33 off the last four overs with six wickets in hand to lose four wickets later and the match by six runs.
