England beat Australia by 69 runs at Taunton to win the Ashes one-day international series 2-1, the visitors' first series defeat in the format in a decade.
Nat Sciver-Brunt hit another century as England claimed a Women’s Ashes series draw with a 69-run win over Australia under the DLS method on Tuesday in the third and final one-day international at Taunton. Victory saw the multi-series format drawn 8-8 on points — the same score as when England last avoided Ashes defeat in Australia five years ago — and meant England had won both the ODI and Twenty20 series 2-1. Urn holder Australia had already retained the Ashes by winning the second ODI in Southampton on Sunday.
The England batter has scored four hundreds in her last five ODIs against Australia.
