finish their series with australia on a high. sciver brunt hit 129 as england scored 285 from their 50 overs after being put into bat. a rain delay meant australia s target was reduced to 269 from 44 overs, but it didn t help the tourists bowled out for 199 england winning by 69 runs on the dls method. they win the mini odi series 2 1, but draw the overall ashes series 8 8, meaning australia retain the ashes. we talked about wanting to continue to play and do justice to how we ve played this series so far. and i ve seen odi series on the line. there s no bigger carrot than that against a team. we haven t beaten in odis for ten years. i think it is so, yeah, super proud of how the girls have turned that round and obviously disappointment that we haven t got the ashes, but it s a draw at the end of the day. and if you told me that at 6 0 down, i certainly would have bitten your hand off. so, yeah, pretty happy. from england s cricketers to england s footballers
