This is Bath -- Anya Shrubsole is backing England to win their Women's Ashes Test against Australia, despite suffering a batting collapse at the end of day two. Bath Cricket Club pace bowler Shrubsole was again the pick of the England bowlers, taking 4-51 as Australia were dismissed for 207 in Perth - a lead of just six. However, the hosts then hit back by reducing England to 18-3 at the start of their second innings, meaning they are just 12 ahead going into day three. "Obviously we were disappointed to lose a few wickets at the end of the day but there's still a lot of time remaining in this Test match, and we're confident we can get a positive result," Shrubsole told Sky Sports News. "We'll regroup, come back out tomorrow and hopefully Arran [Brindle] and Natalie [Sciver] will be able to put some runs on the board.""We're only halfway through this Test match so there's still a lot of time to bat. Hopefully the runs will come on Sunday."
