NOTTINGHAM, England : Australia's Annabel Sutherland went into the record books with the highest score for a women's batter at number eight or lower with an unbeaten 137 before picking up a wicket in her first over on Friday as England trail by 255 runs in the Ashes test.

However, she ran out of partners when England spinner Sophie Ecclestone cleaned up the tail to finish with a five-wicket haul after bowling nearly 47 overs.
