    And as Australia celebrate a deserved Women's Ashes series win, that's where we're going to leave it. I hope you've enjoyed the BBC coverage of the series.

    After a quick bite to eat, we'll be back at about 14:25 BST to bring you the men's T20 international - you can read about that here. See you then.

    The champagne corks have already been popped - Australia captain Meg Lanning lifts the Women's Ashes trophy.

    They now hold the Ashes, World Cup and World Twenty20 trophies at the same time. Although England's women have done that in 2009, no men's side (not even Ricky Ponting's Australia) have ever done that.

    We were disappointing today but have to give credit to England, they came out really hard and came to play today. The Test match win was really special, to get those 10 wickets on that final day is something I will never forget. There is always a lot to learn, the group has been fantastic, it has been a really fun tour and I think it showed in our play. We've had a lot of support from back home and that's great.

    I think we needed this to top off the series. It has been disappointed but I am proud of what the girls have done. We are seeing signs of what Nat [Sciver] is capable of at this level. She played so positively after a first-ball duck at Brighton. I will have a break after this series. It has been a long year. I will then go to play in the Big Bash for the Perth Scorchers. It is a great opportunity not just for myself but all these girls. We will all come back stronger after this series for a strong 2016-17. There is character in the group and we need to stick together and will continue to do that and work hard.

    The crowd have been our 12th man at the times and really inspired us, it really does mean a lot and I hope you'll all come back and watch us in the future. We'll be a stronger group because of this, sometimes it takes a loss to move forward and looking forward to a brilliant 2016-17.

    We hadn't held the Ashes in quite a long time we had a great preparation back home and to play the way we have against such fantastic opposition in England has been a fantastic experience. It's really nice to be able to contribute up the order and what has been so pleasing is that our whole squad has contributed. There's a great feeling amongst the group, we've definitely got some things to work on but it has been fantastically enjoyable and really exciting for the future.

    We spoke about getting something from this last match and to beat the best team in the world is something we should be proud of but missing out on that run chase at Hove makes it doubly disappointing as a group. Ultimately Australia have been the better team but when we have played at our best we have matched them.

    You can see when Anya is in form because she hits the ground hard. She has a rounded package. when she is in full flow England are at their best. The key now is for her to stay fit. She is young and still has plenty of overs in her.

    Bit of luck here and favourable conditions, that's the way it goes in T20 sometimes and wickets go your way. We love playing high pressure games and it brings out the best in me. Nat was brilliant with bat and ball and set up the win. Hopefully I can get some good training behind me now because next year is a big year.

    I think it probably was my best for England, it's nice to put in a good performance, a shame it was at the end of the series when it doesn't quite mean as much but still nice.

    The biggest issue in this short format is the opening partner for Charlotte Edwards. The bowling is brilliant but they need to work on building batting partnerships. This is why Nat Sciver scoring runs is such a positive.

    The player of the T20 series is England's Anya Shrubsole, who has combined figures of 7-35 from the three matches.

    It was important to us to bounce back and beat the world champions in this format. I'm happy we got over the line and Nat Sciver got the runs she did. We bowled and fielded well in all three formats. We have had moments with the bat but struggled in some situations. We take full responsibility for all the performances and some of those have not been at the level we want. I am accountable for that. We have a balance of youth and experience and at times we have not performed as well as we would like in pressure situations. We will look at that and move forward positively. I am 100% behind Charlotte Edwards, as are the team and management.
