AUS Women vs ENG Women, Only Test at Nottingham, Women's Ashes, Jun 22 2023 - Match Result

1.05pm: Five-day Test cricket, don't it make ya feel good? The WAshes have tilted Australia's way after a proper tear-up at Trent Bridge, but there are still plenty of points to play for. Stick around for Valkerie Baynes' report, and more reaction from the ground. There's another MAshes Test starting in two days' time, before the women tango again at Edgbaston in the first T20I on Saturday - and you know we'll be back for that. For now, from myself, Sudarshanan, Srinidhi and Thilak, thanks for keeping us company over five (count 'em) enthralling days. Bye!

12.48pm: Just getting ready for the presentations... Lydia Greenway is overseeing proceedings, with Ashleigh Gardner named Player of the Match for her match figures of 12 for 165: "I wouldn't have dreamt of it, but I guess it shows having five days to get a result is super important. There was a bit of luck involved with the conditions, but as a bowling unit we bowled in partnerships and I was the lucky one to come away with wickets. We said to keep the stumps in play, the English bowlers showed that, keep all modes of dismissal in. Some kept low, some turned. Most of mine didn't turn so that was a challenge. Awesome to be able to put a performance in. I bowl a bit quicker naturally, so I can go up and down, important to use the facilities, whether slower or quicker, and try to keep the stumps in play. [Healy keeping] She was fantastic. Shows how pivotal that can be, not only to spin but standing up to the stumps. Knowing you've got a keeper you can trust is super important. [4-0 up, no complacency] Absolutely not, still six matches to go and a lot can happen. Need to celebrate because it's super special, so we'll celebrate this and then turn our attention to the T20s."

England captain Heather Knight: "First of all, what a game. I've been vocal about having five days and this game showed why. Credit to Australia but our girls went toe to toe with them and that was really impressive. Some special performances from Tammy [Beaumont], Sophie [Ecclestone]. Couple of sessions we didn't do as well as we could have, but what a match. In the balance, the way Tammy batted, key partnerships through the middle was outstanding. The way we came back yesterday after a tough final session on day three was unbelievable. We set out to play some entertaining cricket and get the crowd on our side and I think we did that this week. We could have bowled better [on third day], next day we kept it simple. Credit to Australia, they came out hard at us. [Ecclestone] Captain's dream, so consistent to hold up an end and be a threat. Hardly bowled a loose ball all Test. She's tired but has done a brilliant job. To get two five-fors was really special. [Filer] We picked her to have an impact and she did that. She was a massive crowd favourite. My favourite moment of the match was her spell before lunch yesterday, got us back into the match. Pace does funny things. [Turn series around?] We'll reflect on the five days, we've done some amazing stuff, won't be too down. Couple of days off then regroup in Birmingham, T20 is one of our strongest formats. [Sciver-Brunt] Hopefully she'll be all right but I haven't had an update."

Australia captain Alyssa Healy: "Very happy, how good is it to have a result, and pleased to be on the right end. It takes the pressure off the captains and teams to try and manipulate it. Even if it's the potential for a reserve day, if there is rain, it's a great idea. Got my thinking cap on at the toss, we had no doubts in batting. Knew it would be tricky against new ball and the try to bat long. They got pretty close in the end, but we were pleased with those runs on the board. Full credit to Tammy, we probably weren't tight enough at times. When we got it right we were able to take wickets and build pressure. The wicket was good for two and a half days and then started to play a few tricks. [Fifty in second innings] Firm believer you need a bit of luck, maybe it went my way there. Had to slide down the order because I couldn't grip the bat in the morning. Hang in there and take the runs on offer. Having 250 on the board to bowl to, we were okay with, but we wanted as many as we could. [Rotating attack] When you've got eight bowling options, trying to use them at the right time... but I though Ash Gardner and Tahlia McGrath were outstanding. [Captaincy] Stressful, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and really honoured to do it in a Test. [Finger injuries] All good, we'll manage them over the next few days and reassess."

12.32pm: Ashleigh does it, and it's advantage Australia in this multi-format Ashes. Gardner claims all five wickets to fall on this fifth and final day, making it 12 in the match - both sets of figures are Australia records. Danni Wyatt played a valiant hand but there was too much to do after England's collapse of 4 for 18 on the fourth evening. It was a Test that went to and fro, but Australia gritted their teeth and got the job done, sealing a first Test win since the 2015 series - and that means they go 4-0 up in the points-based series, with 12 still to play for over the course of six white-ball internationals

"That's only the second eight-for in Women's test history." Yep, absolutely spot on, Kieran

"Second best innings AND match figures in WTest history for Gardner!" cheers Matthew. "What a performance."

"Few options for player of the match," opines Dave, "Gardner with a 12-wicket haul, Sutherland for her first innings, Beaumont for her double hundred. Wonder who it'll be..."

Rajesh Subraman: "I hope you print this :)Someone was telling me that the Men's Aus v Eng is called the Ashes because of the historic reason.. why is the Women's cricket called that... I replied that with Ash Gardener taking so many wickets (or Ashes), it is aptly named!!"

Field up to Wyatt now

Out strides Lauren Bell, England's last line of defence

Field spread for Wyatt now, as Australia seek to winkle out the last two

"If Gardner was looking at Lyon for tips prior to this Test, I reckon Gaz has a keen eye on this effort right now," muses Ryan

Now then. Does Wyatt attempt to counter, a la Ben Stokes at Headingley?

"10fer for Gardner also right? What a test match this is. So glad it's a 5-dayer." Yes, spot on, James. Gardner the hero (as I like to say at least once a week around my house)

In walks Lauren Filer. Two debutants at the crease for England, who are still 93 from victory

"Hope that A Gardner does not take any more wickets during A Gardner's commentary stint," gurgles Swarnanka. Look, I won't be held responsible either way, goddit

Here's Hypocaust with some stats-u-like: "Danni Wyatt is the first English woman to bring up a 4th innings half-century on Test debut since Lesley Cooke against India at Wetherby in 1986."
