The Ashes 2023: England's Tammy Beaumont hits record 208 but Australia build lead in one-off Test
Australia took control on day three of the one-off Ashes Test with a lead of 92, despite Tammy Beaumont's record-breaking 208 for England.
England started the day 255 runs behind Australia's first-innings 473 and dominated the morning session as Beaumont and all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt added a third-wicket partnership of 137. More recently, she has found herself out of England's T20 set-up, but in front of an appreciative crowd at Trent Bridge she provided a Test batting masterclass and a reminder of her value to England at the top of the order.Edges burst through the slip cordon, rare fumbles crept in from the fielders and loose wide balls were accepted gratefully by Beaumont to thrash through the covers.
Australia may be in the ascendancy, but Beaumont has etched her name into cricket history with a performance that will live long in the memory of those lucky enough to witness it.Pitch map of England's seamers in Australia's second innings Against such formidable opposition England cannot afford to keep gifting so many scoring opportunities.
