    It's a cloudy and overcast at Trent Bridge at the moment. There are a few pockets of blue sky, but you would think Australia's seam bowlers will have pulled back the curtains this morning and be rubbing their hands together.

    The sun is expected to break through later in the afternoon, though, and the good news is that there is no rain forecast so we should have a full day of play.

    England played beautifully they produced a good batting effort. It is an opportunity for them to produce that positive play they have been talking about. A huge threat for Australia in Nat Sciver-Brunt. There's some quality batting to come as well.

    It is going to be a good day.

    Tammy Beaumont grabbed the headlines yesterday, but Nat Sciver-Brunt sent out of a bit of statement with the way she came out and batted aggressively last night.

    She took the game to the Australian bowlers and is 41 not out from 44 balls. Although her wife, Katherine, could barely watch while on a commentary stint.

    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    After two days in which the overall run rate has been 3.89 per over, the Trent Bridge Test is comfortably on course to be the fastest-scoring women's Test ever played (a record currently held by the most recent Ashes Test, in Canberra in January last year, in which the run rate was 3.40).

    The 691 runs scored on the first two days, and the thus-far batting-friendly nature of the pitch, suggest the record match aggregate for women's Tests – 1143 runs, England v Australia at Guildford in 1998 – is also likely to be broken.

    The advent and spread of professionalism and T20 franchise leagues has left bowlers struggling to keep in check the batters' increased power and range of stroke. The last seven Tests played, since 2017, have collectively brought an average of 38.3 runs per wicket and a run rate of 2.98.

    What were the runs per wicket and runs per over figures in the 28 previous women's Tests played, from 2000 to 2015?

    The fact that Annabel Sutherland showed patience overnight and then accelerated, it can be quite tough, it's easy to collapse. Kim Garth stuck around which really helped her kick on, get that hundred and then a few more.

    Fantastic to see Annabel Sutherland in such a young Test career getting that ton. She'll be a key player against England with the ball, too. Australia's bowling has not been great so far, with some half trackers from the spinners. The bowlers will need to tighten up a bit.

    Tammy Beaumont wasn't the only maiden Test centurion yesterday. Australia's Annabel Sutherland scored her first international hundred of any description yesterday. At 21, she looks to have a bright future in the game. She certainly impressed the Test Match Special team.

  12. How's stat?!published at 10:10 British Summer Time 24 June 2023

    Tammy Beaumont was completely oblivious to the fact she joined an elite club when she reached three figures yesterday.

    She may or may not be aware that England's women have never had a double Test centurion before.

    The highest score is the 189 made by Elizabeth 'Betty' Snowball against New Zealand at Christchurch in February 1935.

    Beaumont is exactly 100 not out overnight. Can she double up?

    Dogged, determined and disciplined.

    England needed all those of qualities starring down the barrel of Australia's sizable first-innings total of 473 and Tammy Beaumont rose to the challenge.

    She became only the second woman - after Heather Knight - to make a century in all three formats of the game for England. Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan have done it for the men's side, so Beaumont is in good company.

    England will need her to bat, and bat big, again today. Welcome to live text commentary of day three of the one-off women's Ashes Test from Trent Bridge.
