Hello and welcome to live coverage of the historic Women’s Ashes Test at the MCG. Australia and England will play the first day-night, pink-ball Test at the grand arena, while also meeting in this format at the venue for the first time since 1949.
Australia won that Test convincingly 76 years ago and are firm favourites to pull off a similar result this time after an all-conquering Ashes series so far. The hosts have taken all 12 points with three victories in each of the ODI and T20s legs, and have been quite open about wanting to complete the first clean sweep since the multi-format series was introduced.
