England fell to a dramatic defeat in the second of their Women’s Ashes ODI matches after confusion over a free-hit led to Australia completing a 21-run victory in Melbourne.
The tourists were chasing 181 in a low-scoring match at the Junction Oval and had a good opportunity to level the series at 2-2. England were given a further lifeline in the 48th over when Annabel Sutherland was removed from the Australia attack for bowling two no-balls.
