She played a chanceless innings before hitting the ball straight into the hands of Natalie Sciver-Brunt at gully to miss a well-deserved century by just one run.

A century would have made Perry just the second Australian woman to score three Ashes Test centuries. Only the legendary Betty Wilson has achieved the feat so far. With regular skipper and star batter Meg Lanning out of the game, Perry was promoted to number three in the batting order and she did not disappoint.

The right-handed batter, who has an average of 73 in Tests, shared a crucial 119-run stand with Tahlia McGrath to set the foundation for Australia's first innings total of 473 runs. In the second innings, Perry scored 25 in addition to picking up one wicket in the first innings.

4. Sophie Ecclestone

The left-arm spinner came up with one of the best bowling displays of all time in women's Tests but still ended up on the losing side.&nbsp; Ecclestone picked up five-wicket hauls in both the innings of the game to finish the contest with figures of 10 for 192.

She became just the tenth woman cricketer to take a 10-wicket haul in a Test. Unfortunately, she also became the first woman to take 10 wickets in a Test and end up on the losing side. Ecclestone picked up figures of 5/129 and 5/63 in the match.

In the first innings when Australia were on 202 for 2, it was her spell that brought England right back into the game. She took three quick wickets to leave the tourists reeling at 226 for 5. In the second innings too, her spell helped England stop Australia from posting a very big total.

Annabel Sutherland had a game to remember against England. The young allrounder played a key role in Australia's win by scoring her first Test hundred.&nbsp; It was also her maiden century for Australia in international cricket. Playing just her third Test, the 21-year old scored 137 runs in the first innings.

The 400-run mark looked almost impossible for Australia after they were reduced to 238 for 6. However, Sutherland's century helped the visitors turn things around and finish their first innings with an imposing total of 473 - their third highest total in Tests.

Sutherland also shattered a couple of big records during her memorable knock. She broke the record for the fastest century in women's Tests. The highly-rated allrounder reached the triple-digit mark in 148 deliveries and broke the previous record of 156 deliveries held by Jill Kennare. Her 137-run knock is&nbsp;also the highest score by a No. 8 batter in women’s Tests, bettering Chamani Seneviratna’s 105 not out.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-opinion/pictures-of-the-week-from-pat-cummins-heroics-to-tammy-beaumonts-historic-outing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tammy Beaumont</a> was another top performer in the game. The England opener created history after playing a stunning knock of 208 runs. After Australia scored 473 runs in their first innings, England needed one of their top-order batters to score big and Beaumont delivered. Her 208-run knock helped the home side finish their first innings on 463 runs.

Beaumont played 331 deliveries for her knock and struck 27 boundaries. She became just the first woman cricketer from England to score a double century in Tests. Betty Snowball previously held the record for the highest Test score by an English woman for her 189-run knock way back in 1935.&nbsp;

The England opener is now also the only female player to make a score of 200+ in a Test match, 150+ in an ODI and 100+ in a T20I. Overall, she became just the second woman along with her teammate and England captain Heather Knight to score a century in all three international formats.

Ashleigh Gardner starred with the ball to help Australia see off the spirited performance from England and win the one-off Test. She picked up eight wickets in the second innings as England were bowled out for 178. In the first innings, the right-arm spinner had picked up 4 wickets as she finished the game with figures of 12 for 165.

In the first innings, she dismissed England captain Heather Knight, Natalie Sciver-Brunt, Sophia Dunkley and double-centurion Tammy Beaumont to help her team take a small 10-run lead. In the second innings, there was absolutely no stopping as Gardner claimed the best-ever match figures by an Australian woman.

England started the fifth day of the Test needing 152 runs to win with five wickets in hand. But before they could even come close to the win, Gardner picked up all the five wickets to wrap up a famous win for Australia.&nbsp;
