Women’s cricket: Australia beat England to win Ashes
Australia were first to bat, and set England a total of 199 to win.
However, despite their best efforts, including Sophia Dunkley who was the top batter with 59, England never got close and were all out for 141.
After the match, England captain Heather Knight said that the game had been “frustrating.”
Speaking to TNT Sports, Sophia Dunkley added: “I think we’re just really disappointed – we wanted to bring a lot of energy and we fell quite short.
“I wanted to go out there and give it my best shot and put the pressure on Australia. We can still draw the Ashes, it’s not completely gone, so we’ll focus on that.”
There are still two T20s and a one-off Test match left to play, but even if England win all those, they will finish the series level on eight points with the Aussies.
