Annabel Sutherland's record-breaking 129 anchored Australia's dominance on day two of the one-off Test against India in Perth. The 23-year-old opener became the first Australian woman to score four Test centuries, surpassing the previous mark held by Karen Rolton. Her innings came after Australia resumed at 96-3, still trailing by 102 runs.

Ellyse Perry's 76 not only provided crucial support but also saw her surpass Rolton as Australia's leading run-scorer in women's Tests, finishing with 1,006 runs. Perry and Sutherland's 133-run partnership turned the match, with Perry eventually falling lbw to Deepti Sharma. Beth Mooney's gritty 19 off 53 balls helped Australia take the lead before Sutherland completed her century.

India's batting collapse in the final session exposed their vulnerabilities. Sutherland claimed key wickets of Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur, while debutant Lucy Hamilton's three-ball double strike left India at 82-6. Despite Pratika Rawal's 43 not out and Sneh Rana's unbeaten 14, India face an uphill battle to avoid defeat inside two days.
