By IANS News January 28, 2022 • 17:57 PM View: 1156

England captain Heather Knight has taken ‘the whole world on her shoulders, said her team-mate and senior pacer Katherine Brunt. She added that Heather's unbeaten knock of 127 on day two of the women's Ashes Test at the Manuka Oval on Friday was a massive show of resilience and fighting spirit.

On a day when the rest of the England batters fell without contributing much, Heather stood tall and batted for more than five hours to reach her second Test century and help the tourists' avoid the follow-on to reach 235/8 at stumps. It was also the second time Heather scored a Test century in the women's Ashes after an epic 157 at Wormsley in 2013.
