Women's Ashes 2014: Heather Knight scores 123 in warm-up

Heather Knight scored an unbeaten 123 in England's warm-up match in Perth ahead of the Women's Ashes series, which starts on Friday.

Knight struck 20 fours in 174 balls before retiring as England closed on 362-7 on the first day of their two-day game against Australia A.

Charlotte Edwards' side won the toss and elected to bat at Floreat Oval.

Edwards scored 77 in a first-wicket partnership of 135 with Knight while Lydia Greenway also made 76.

The four-day Test is then followed by three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 games.

Six points are awarded for a Test win and two points for each ODI and T20 victory. England won the home series last year 12-4.
