Pink-ball Test: Sutherland Unbeaten On 93, Perry Hits 76 As Australia Take The Lead
Cricket Australia: Annabel Sutherland’s unbeaten 93 and Ellyse Perry’s composed 76 steered Australia into ascendancy on day two of the one-off pink-ball Test against India, as the hosts reached 217/4 in 58 overs at tea, with their lead sitting at 19 runs at the WACA Ground on Saturday.
Resuming from 96/3, Australia controlled the morning session as Ellyse and Annabel consolidated their overnight stand. Both raised their respective half-centuries with authority and kept the scoreboard moving against India’s attack under searing heat.
Ellyse, who last passed fifty in July 2023, looked set for a hundred before falling lbw to Deepti Sharma on review. Her dismissal came after she crossed 1,000 career Test runs, overtaking Karen Rolton to become Australia’s leading run-scorer in the format and the first woman to achieve the double of 1,000 runs and 30 wickets in Tests.
