At first, seeing Holly Ferling closing in at short fine-leg, her heart was momentarily in her mouth. Having almost exclusively swept her way to an unbeaten 79, she brought out a half-paddle half-ramp shot with England needing just one run to win the Ashes.

It’s been ten years since England Women have won the Ashes on home soil.
