The Ashes: Heather Knight hails series the 'best ever' in women's cricket history

July 17: This summer's Ashes has been the "best series ever in women's cricket history", says England captain Heather Knight. Australia retained the urn after their thrilling last-ball victory in the second one-day international at the Ageas Bowl.

England has not won the Ashes for a decade, but both sides have played their part in a captivating series that saw Australia surge ahead with a six-point lead in the multi-format contest before England's three consecutive white-ball wins drew them level.
