    It will be interesting to see how this pitch plays. This is a wonderful opportunity for England to come out and put a dent on the scoreboard.

  2. The Teamspublished at 22:57 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January

    England have gone with the same XI which lost both the first two one-day internationals.

    Heather Knight said Kate Cross "was really close to coming into the side" but "she's not had a huge amount of cricket" so England "wanted to keep it the same".

    Australia make one change to the their team as Georgia Wareham is preferred to Darcie Brown.

    Australia: Alyssa Healy (captain & wicketkeeper), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ash Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt

    England: Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight (captain), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Amy Jones (wicketkeeper), Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Lauren Bell

    England captain Heather Knight: "I would have had a bat as well. Obviously it's a used surface so might do a bit but we have to be tight with our lines and try to attack hard really early and repeat what we did the other day when we were outstanding with the ball. If we can keep that coming that would be great.

    "Since the last match we've picked out what we have done well and what we could a little bit better. I thought after the game the other day we could have been a little bit braver as a batting unit. We've talked about how we are going to do that and obviously assess the conditions we're playing in and work out what that looks out."

    Australia skipper Alyssa Healy: "The wicket looks a little bit dry but could get harder later on so hopefully we can set a good total. Confidence is high. I think both teams learned a bit from the other day. We didn't play that well ourselves so we reflected that and how we can be a little bit better.

    "We know we are up against a really good side, there's lots of games left in the Ashes, and we're not taking anything for granted. Hopefully we can finish the ODI leg really strong."

  5. Australia won the toss and batpublished at 22:47 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January

    Alyssa Healy has decided Australia will bat first.

  6. Welcome...published at 22:45 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January

    Good evening...do you come here often?

    England are 4-0 down in the multi-format Ashes after back-to-back defeats in the first two one-day internationals.

    Heather Knight's side have got themselves in some good positions but not quite been able to capitalise. They need to show a bit more killer instinct.
