England win Women's Ashes Test

England have beaten Australia by 61 runs in the Women's Ashes Test to give themselves a big advantage in the multi-format series.

The tourists pick up six points for their victory in Perth, meaning that they now need to win just two of the six limited-overs matches in order to retain their title.

Australia began the final day on 57-5, needing another 128 runs to win.

Ellyse Perry made a stylish 31, a knock that included four boundaries, before falling to Anya Shrubsole, who then tore through Australia's tail to seal victory for England before lunch.

Shrubsole finished the innings with figures of 3-48 after dismissing Erin Osborne and Rene Farrell for ducks.
