Australian Women’s Cricket XI does it again

The Australian Women’s Cricket XI comprehensively defeated England in the third ODI played at St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury. England won the toss and elected to field. Australia scored 7/269 in their 50 overs and then bundled out England for just 75 in only 32.5 overs. Player of the match was Australia’s Ellyse Perry with her match-winning bowling performance, taking 7/22 off her 10 overs.

Australia's victory means they lead England by six points to nil and the hosts must win the four-day Test match, worth four points, starting on July 18, and then win at least two of the remaining three T20s - and lose none - in order to wrest the Ashes from the tourists.
