England captain Heather Knight is “living in hope” of victory in the women’s Ashes Test against Australia after she led her team’s fightback on a rain-affected third day in Canberra.
After a career-best 168 not out guided England to 297 all out – a first-innings deficit of 40 – Katherine Brunt did some early damage to go to 50 Test wickets and leave the home side 12 for two when the skies opened in the afternoon.
