Scorecard.<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Australia retained the Women’s Ashes following a dramatic three-run victory over England, who so nearly pulled off a remarkable victory through Nat Sciver-Brunt’s masterful unbeaten century.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Sciver-Brunt, who scored 111 off 99 balls, dragged England from 203-7 to a position where they needed 15 runs from the last over and five off the final ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, Australia and Jess Jonassen, who bowled the final over, held their nerve to retain the urn with one match to spare by virtue of being the holders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The points-based series, which is now 8-6 in favour of Australia, concludes at Taunton on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Australia owe plenty to number-eight batter Georgia Wareham, who smashed 26 from the last over of the tourists’ innings, bowled by Lauren Bell, to drag them from 240-7 with three overs remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

While it was a match-defining over, England were also left to rue another sloppy performance in the field, dropping all-rounder Ellyse Perry three times in her innings of 91. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the second ODI at Bristol, England levelled the series with their highest-ever run chase and were set the task of breaking that record again to keep their hopes alive once more. <\/span><\/p>\n

England started positively, with opener Tammy Beaumont continuing her fine form with 60 from 62 balls before Australia’s spinners once again proved the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

All seven England wickets fell to spin as leg-spinner Alana King and off-spinner Ash Gardner took three wickets each to unravel the middle order. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sciver-Brunt stood firm with a chanceless knock, her third unbeaten century in her last four innings against Australia, but she slumped to her knees in devastation as she could only manage a single from the final ball. <\/span><\/p>\n

England can still draw the series with a win in the final ODI, but were visibly distraught by the defeat having dragged themselves back into contention after Australia’s initial six-point lead. <\/span><\/p>\n

More to follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
