A superb batting display put Australia on the verge of retaining the Women's Ashes with an 86-run victory over England in the third and final ODI.

Ashleigh Gardner's barnstorming effort of 102 from as many balls helped propel the hosts to 308 in Hobart, with England falling short at 222 in response.

England's third successive defeat leaves them 6-0 down in the multi-format series and needing to win the three remaining T20s and Test match to regain The Ashes.
