Tahlia McGrath plays amid Covid drama as Australia win Games cricket gold

• All-rounder McGrath tests positive on morning of Edgbaston final
• Australia win by nine runs to claim first women's cricket gold

Australia's all-conquering women's cricket team continued their dominance of the sport after edging out India in the Commonwealth Games final at Edgbaston, but not before Covid-19 has served up a dose of drama.

Meg Lanning's side secured a nine-run win to claim the first Commonwealth gold awarded to women in a tight match in which India threatened to pull off a remarkable run chase right to the death.
