So, Australia need just two more points to retain the Ashes. And they have four games - a possible 10 points - to do it from. Can England mount a comeback hereon? We'll find out next week. Do join us then. Till the next time, on behalf of Vairavan and Alex, this is Sudarshanan bidding you goodbye! Ciao! Take care.

4:52pm England lose 6 for 22 to give Australia a 6-0 lead in the Women's Ashes. And that could leave them doing a lot of catch-up. The picture was slightly different when Beaumont and Sciver-Brunt were in the middle, during their 89-run stand. The platform was being set, they were - at various points - ahead of Australia. But then the recalled Wareham decided to show why she was recalled. And then Litchfield, well, decided to put on a show. Which Garth decided to match. Which Gardner decided to OWN! And just like that, England ran out of fizz.

Ashleigh Gardner, Player of the Match: "Something I have been searching for. Getting a hundred for my country. Some emotions when I got to that. I was able to sit back and appreciate and let it sink it. Different people stood up at different points, Kingy took a five-for. I haven't scored too many centuries in my life. To do it for my country, to share the partnership with Moons and TMac, I am sure she will take confidence from that innings. Emotional but one tick off. [On her catch] I clearly misjudged that because I took that one-handed. But then managed to throw it back in, you don't practice it in heaps, luckily instincts took over."

Heather Knight, England captain: "They played really nicely. We bowled brilliantly upfront. Ash and Mooney's partnership was good, couple of chances went down, frustrating. We lost a few quick wickets and the rate went up quickly. We went to our options well. Tammy was proactive but they bowled well to her. Happy with the approach but when chase 300 we need big partnerships."

Alyssa Healy, Australia captain: "[On completing 100 stumpings] You keep telling me facts I don't know! It was good, all-round we were good. Did not start well with the bat. We talk about batting depth and good to put it on show. It was a decent batting wicket."

Hypocaust: "Alana King is the first legspinner to take 5-wicket haul in a women's ODI played in Australia."

Jay: "Tv commentators were just highlighting Australia's catching and then Gardner says "hold my beer" and goes and does that! Wow"

Alan: "Describing Gardner's catch is some of the finest commentary in Cricinfo history! From an England supporter. Well played Australia."

Matt: "As you mentioned SS, that Georgia Wareham was definitely the difference. England have been ahead of the fame until the acceleration at the end."
