The win at Trent Bridge which puts Australia halfway to retaining the Women's Ashes, comes despite two of its stars, spinner Ashleigh Gardner and skipper Alyssa Healy, playing all five days with finger injuries.

But asked whether she would be fine to play in the white-ball matches, Healy offered a defiant: "Yes". The injuries also make Healy's six dismissals and second-innings 50 more remarkable. "I got reminded of quite a bit walking out there and also copping a gobful coming in at number eight," Healy said.Gardner produces spin classic despite strained ligament
