The one-off Test between Australia and England as the final face-off in the Women’s Ashes 2025 has not brought any positive news for England. The dreadful show from the visitors continued on Day 1 of the pink ball Test. The tipping point of the already derailed English innings was when Phoebe Litchfield took an epic catch to send Danni Wyatt-Hodge back to the pavi♔lion and further pushed the En🌊glish batters into the corner.

Phoebe Litchfield’s stunning catch shatters England’s hopes

England had a dreadful start to the innings after the home side won the toss and elected to bowl first. The English openers Tasmin Beaumont and Maia Bouchier could not withstand the Australian onslaught and gave their wickets away cheaply. Heather Knight and Sophia Dunkley tried to stabilize the English innings but the Au꧟stralian bowlers’ determined effort proved too much for them.

The last notable pair to add some runs in the English total was Wyatt-Hodge and Nat Sciver-Brunt. Just when it appeared that England finally have a partnershi𝓡p to save their innings from a crushing end, the phenomenal catch from Litchfield changed the course of t꧃he game.

The game-changing catch took place in the 49th over of the innings, as a tossed up full-length delivery from Alana King took an unexpected turn and hit the tip of Hodge’s bat as she aimed to play it towards the leg side. The leading edge drifted towards the silly point where Litchfield was in🧸tentionally deployed by the Australian skipper to take advantage of such moments. She dived towards the side and took a𓆏 one-handed stunner to send Hodge back to the pavilion.

The impressive run from Alana King continued

Australia’s ace spinner continued her impressive form from white-ball cricket and proved detr🌌imental to English batters. King’s disciꦛplined line and length and constant unexpected turning deliveries was the highlight of the Australian bowling onslaught against the English batters.

King bowled 23 overs in th𓄧e match and sent 4 England batters back to the pavilion giving just 45 runs in the process. Crucially, she bowled 6 maidens during her remarkable spell which further exerted added pressure to the England batting line-up. The 29-year-old is the leading wicket-taker of the Women’s Ashes so far and has 18 dism🦩issals to her name in 7 matches.
