Australia retained the Ashes after England’s comeback saw them draw the series 8-8
England captain Heather Knight declared herself “super-proud” after her team completed a remarkable Women’s Ashes turnaround to draw the series.
England trailed 6-0 after the opening two matches of the multi-format series – the solitary Test and the T20 opener – but rallied to win four of the remaining five white-ball contests to draw 8-8.
After winning the T20 matches 2-1, England’s 69-run victory by DLS method at Taunton on Tuesday gave them a second white-ball series victory over the world’s No 1 side.
“To win two series against the world champions in both formats is brilliant,” Knight said.
