    So, it's all square after two games. England and Australia continue their journey up the M5 on Sunday, when the third and final ODI takes place at New Road, Worcester. Two precious Women's Ashes points - and two equally precious ICC Women's Championship points - will be up for grabs.

    But it's been Australia's day - well done to them, thanks for your company during the day, and I hope you'll join us on Sunday for the next gripping instalment. TTFN.

    England will look at this one in depth tomorrow, once they've gone through the game it's about moving on. They've got a couple of days before Sunday, they'll look to train hard and come back with real intent at Worcester. Amy Jones was an odd choice for me at four, Lauren Winfield has been doing brilliantly in the Championship and averaging 200, although she's been opening the batting there.

    We looked back at the last game, saw where we could improve in all areas and did that really well. We've got such great depth in our squad and it was great to see two people come in and perform straight away. We bowled straight - the run-out was more luck than anything but it's always good to get a direct hit.

    Really disappointed. We started well and at 120-1 we were in with a chance, but we didn't bat well between 30-40 overs. Credit to the Aussies, they bowled well in the powerplay but some poor shot selection has cost us. We knew they would come back hard at us, we've got to bounce back at Worcester.

    Australia came back hard, just as their men did in the second Test - they'll be delighted to be levelling the series. Charlotte's a passionate person, she'll be bitterly disappointed and know the girls can do a lot better than this. They're all experienced cricketers and they'll know that.

    A couple of team changes worked for Australia, but England just seemed a little off the pace.

    England have been outplayed today, and outbowled by some tight bowling, especially from Megan Schutt. They were coasting it after that partnership of Edwards and Knight up front, and something happened at the drinks break - maybe they lost their concentration - and the wickets started to tumble.

    Grundy b Osborne 1 (Eng 196 all out)

    No fairytale ending for England - Grundy is bowled by off-spinner Osborne and Australia complete a straightforward 63-run win.

  18. Eng 193-9 (target 260)published at 42 overs

    Left-hander Rebecca Grundy is England's last hope. She's off the mark nudging a two to third man, but the game has gone really, now. Brunt, however, manages to smear a three to ensure she keeps the strike. Schutt finishes her spell with 4-47 from 10 overs. England need 67 from 48 balls.

    Cross b Schutt 2 (Eng 189-8)

    A yorker from Schutt does for Kate Cross - she can't jam her bat down on a full delivery and the ball hits the foot of leg stump. Four wickets for Schutt. It comes after an innovative shot from Brunt - she lines up a lap-sweep but adapts to ramp a four through the vacant slip region.
