England veteran creates history with stunning double-ton

// England opener Tammy Beaumont mounted a historic innings underlined by record-breaking double-hundred on day three of the Women's Ashes at Trent Bridge. With her knock of 208 runs from 331 balls, Beaumont becomes the first Englishwoman to score a Test double-century. Her efforts also brought the hosts within 10 runs of Australia's first-innings total of 473 before the 32-year-old became the last wicket to fall. With Beaumont finally dismissed after two days of chaos, England were all out for 463 after tea, bringing Australia's opener pair of Phoebe Litchfield (41*) and Beth Mooney (33*) back out to the crease. Australia takes a 92-run lead into day four with 10 wickets remaining. MORE TO COME.
