Perry, McGrath stand tall as Ecclestone leads fight back Ellyse Perry has fallen heartbreakingly short of a third Test century as an England superstar and a debutant combined to see the hosts fight back late on day one of the Ashes Test at Trent Bridge. Australia will resume on 7-328 with Annabel Sutherland unbeaten on 39 and Alana King on seven after an entertaining first day that saw the momentum swing between the Ashes rivals after Alyssa Healy elected to bat first. The tourists were cruising at 3-215 close to tea when a downpour interrupted proceedings at the iconic Nottingham venue with Perry on 82 and cantering towards what would have been a third Test century.
