Rain hurt England’s bid to set up an unlikely victory push on day three of the Women’s Ashes Test against Australia in Canberra.
Resuming on 127, captain Heather Knight progressed to a stunning 168 not out as her side, who looked out of the contest on day two, reached 297 before being dismissed.
That ensured Australia took a lead of just 40 and Katherine Brunt claimed two wickets to reduce Australia to 12-2 in a gripping spell.
