The Ashes: England lose five late wickets to dent hopes of winning one-off Test
England 463 & 116-5 :England's hopes of victory in the one-off Ashes Test were dented by the loss of five late wickets on day four.
Victory in the Test match is worth four points, which would be shared should it end in an unlikely draw. Earlier, Australia resumed on 82-0 after England's poor start with the ball late on day three, but made amends through Ecclestone's brilliance combined with an inspired turnaround by the pace attack.
After a mammoth 46-over spell in Australia's first innings, there was concern over its impact on Ecclestone later in the game. Credit also to Kate Cross, who took two wickets with a dislocated thumb after dropping a catch, and Filer, whose raw pace once again proved a key point of difference at Knight's disposal.
On day one, much was made of Australia's difference in team selection with three spinners to England's one - and it could potentially prove pivotal, although the visitors will be hoping Alana King's elbow injury will allow her to bowl on the final day.
