'We'll fight to the bitter end'published at 17:29
Quote MessageIt's down to the players, not the coaches. There are world-class players not delivering. We're going to fight to the bitter end. A change of format might be able to help us express ourselves. If we want to keep hold of the Ashes we have to put in a big performance in Chelmsford.

BBC Test Match Special"England will only hope they learn lessons and take them into the T20s."
'It's going to be tournament cricket'published at 17:25
England's Georgia Elwiss, speaking on Sky Sports, on the prospect of winning the three T20s: "We have to be confident. We have to go into that series with a really good attitude. It's going to be like tournament cricket."
'We're not learning quick enough'published at 17:25
Quote MessageIt's really disappointing. I thought at tea time we had a sniff of holding on. We simply weren't good enough over the four days. We're not delivering as a batting unit, there's poor shot selection – it's not through lack of trying. It's been a common theme in the last three internationals. I guess we’re not getting a platform and then choosing poor options. We’re not learning quick enough.

Journalist"England's senior batsmen have got to stand up because their bowlers performed well."
'It wasn't to be'published at 17:23
England's Georgia Elwiss, who made 46 on the final day, on Sky Sports: "Me and Lydia (Greenway) built a really good partnership but it wasn't to be today."
On Ellyse Perry, who took 6-32: "She's a world-class bowler and she deserved her wickets."
'It was a strange one'published at 17:22
Ellyse Perry has been talking about taking the wicket of Lydia Greenway, who was bowled when she ducked under a low one.
Quote MessageIt was a bit of a strange one and indicative of how the pitch was low and slow. It was a strange wicket. Our confidence was pretty high, we knew at some point they would crack. They made it difficult for us. We probably shut the game down early with the win being out of their reach.

Tale of the tapepublished at 17:21
Other than Georgia Elwiss (46), no other England batter passed 16. In the first innings, six players got in and reached double figures but none could reach 40.
Captain's viewpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 14 August 2015
Australia captain Meg Lanning on TMS: "Greenway and Elwiss batted really well. There's always one partnership that's really hard to break."
On Jess Jonassen, who made 99 and 54: "She was batting on a different deck to the rest of us, so she was certainly a big difference in this game. She's one to watch."

Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special"They have got a week to recover but it's going to be a tough task to bring them back up."
Captain's viewpublished at 17:18 British Summer Time 14 August 2015
Australia captain Meg Lanning on the three T20s that remain in the series: "England are a class side and they've got players there who can win games. We'll have to play well to win the T20s."
'We'll certainly celebrate'published at 17:18 British Summer Time 14 August 2015
Australia need one more point to win the Ashes
Quote MessageWe've still got a bit of cricket to play. We're in a handy position and that's pleasing but we still have to win a game which will be tough. We'll certainly celebrate but we want to win one more game.
