NOTTINGHAM, England : Opener Tammy Beaumont became the first Englishwoman to score a double century as she led the hosts' fightback on day three of the women's Ashes test on Saturday before Australia extended their lead to 92 runs.
She walked off to a standing ovation and fist-bumps from young fans near the pavilion at Trent Bridge after England were all out for 463, giving Australia a first-innings lead of 10 runs. Resuming on 218-2, England nearly lost Nat Sciver-Brunt to the first ball of the day when Darcie Brown successfully appealed for lbw, but the home side reviewed the decision and she survived as replays showed the ball was missing leg stump.
Beaumont continued to attack before Danni Wyatt fell six short of a half-century on debut when she nicked Brown to second slip.
