Fran Wilson given out after bizarre lbw decision in Ashes opener

Replays show the ball hit the 27-year-old's gloves before her pad, but umpire Martin Saggers raised his finger

England's Fran Wilson was on the end of a rough lbw decision in England's Ashes opener against Australia in their ODI at Grace Road.

Wilson was attempting to paddle a delivery from Australia spinner Jess Jonassen, but failed to get any bat on the delivery as it rolled into the legside.

WICKET! Fran WIlson cannot believe she is given out lbw with the ball clearly striking her glove.

England 52-4 after 15 overs, with Sciver (12 not out) and Brunt (3 not out) at the crease.

Jonassen however appealed and umpire Martin Saggers raised his finger, much to the shock of Wilson, who pointed towards her glove as she walked off.

Replays showed that her frustration was justified as they showed that the ball appeared to hit her glove before her pad, but with no review system in place for this series, she had to walk.

Wilson's dismissal saw England reduced to 44-5, with Heather Knight's side losing their first three wickets for just 19 runs in Leicester.

Australia captain Meg Lanning had won the toss and put England in to bat, with Ellyse Perry dismissing three of England's top four to put the hosts in trouble early on in the series.
