Women's Test Match, Worcester (day one, stumps):
England v Australia 185-5
Match scorecard
 Australia skipper Fields led her side's fightback at New Road
|
A record sixth-wicket stand from captain Jodie Fields and Rachel Haynes helped spare Australia's blushes on day one of the women's Ashes at New Road.
Fields (139) and Haynes (98) put on 229 - the fifth-highest women's Test match partnership of all time - as the tourists ended the day on 271-7.
Both were dismissed late in the day, Katherine Brunt trapping Fields lbw and Laura Marsh bowling Haynes.
Earlier, Australia were languishing on 28-5 as Brunt ripped through the order.
It was a devastating spell from the Yorkshire pace bowler, who made the breakthrough at the end of the first over as Alex Blackwell was caught behind for a duck.
Australia chose to bat after winning the toss but were soon rueing that decision as Brunt continued to plough her way through the order.
Karen Rolton went lbw without troubling the scorers, Lisa Sthalekar soon followed, Shelley Nitschke fell to Nicky Shaw and when Leah Poulton was dismissed for one, England were in a dominant position.
However, the introduction of Fields and Haynes steadied the ship and helped the tourists into a favourable position by the close.
Brunt ended with impressive figures of 5-55 from 22 overs, which included nine maidens.
