SOUTHAMPTON: England's Nat Sciver-Brunt struck a blistering century but was unable to prevent Australia from claiming a three-run victory in the second one-day international on Sunday , as the tourists retained the Ashes after taking an unassailable lead in the series.
Australia's spinners tore through England's batting line-up, with Alana King and Ashleigh Gardner taking three wickets apiece, while Georgia Wareham also picked up a wicket. "But full credit to our girls, they showed all their grit and determination again and we got ourselves over the line." The win at the Rose Bowl gave Australia an 8-6 lead in the multi-format series, guaranteeing they will return home with the Ashes, but England can still level the series with victory in the final ODI on Tuesday.
