Australia will retain the Women's Ashes as the Test petered out into a draw.

England avoided the follow-on and declared on 275-9, but they could not tear through the Australian batting line-up, which finished on 230-7.

Ellyse Perry (76 not out) again batted well as the tourists opted not to set England a fourth-innings target.

England trail 8-2 in the multi-format series, but could still draw it if they win all three Twenty20 games, beginning in Chelmsford on Friday.

Australia won all three one-day internationals to open up a 6-0 lead and the two points available for a draw in this four-day Test would guarantee their retention of the Ashes.

That knowledge was always at the back of their minds as they batted out the game before shaking hands with an hour of scheduled play remaining.
