THE SECOND women's Test between England and Australia looks set to end in a draw after rain washed out the final session of the third day at Harrogate yesterday.

Australia had reached 123 for 1, an overall lead of 103, after England declared at 326 for eight. Janette Brittin took her overnight score of 148 to 167.

Cathryn Fitzpatrick finished with Test-best figures of 4 for 91 and Australian openers Belinda Clark and Lisa Keightley put together a 50-run partnership.
