NICK FRIEND: Irresistible Perry blows England away as top order has no answer

ENGLAND

Amy Jones (0): A third cheap dismissal to Ellyse Perry in as many games. Jones looks nothing like the player that dominated the early part of 2019. 3

Tammy Beaumont (4): Huge pressure on England's world-class opener, but she fell victim to Perry's in-swinger. 3

Heather Knight (5 & 0-16): Won the toss and elected to bowl, having replaced the injured Katherine Brunt with the extra batter. It was a gamble that paid off with neither bat nor ball. 3

Sarah Taylor (0): A terrific catch to dismiss Perry, but then fell victim to the first ball she faced - she was blameless after receiving a super delivery from Perry, who exacted her revenge. 4

Nat Sciver (0 & 3-42): One of three ducks in England's top five, but bowled well - as she had to, given the team changes. Her medium pace did for Alyssa Healy, Meg Lanning and Perry. Not bad scalps to have... 6

Fran Wilson (17): Entered the fray at 10 for four and could have been forgiven for wondering what on earth had occurred. By the time she was out with the score at 40 for seven, the game was long since gone. 5

Danni Wyatt (1): Certainly not the situation England's T20 opener wanted to find herself in. Like Wilson, the game was done as a contest at 18 for five. One of many to play all around her front pad. 3

Anya Shrubsole (1-43 & 11): Proud with the bat and unfortunate to drag on. With the ball, she was England's best seamer - her most consistent new-ball display of this series. 5

Laura Marsh (1-50 & 21): England's top-scorer, which doesn't say much. She batted with a calmness and a technique that others could do worse than copy. Bowled better than her figures suggest. 5

Sophie Ecclestone (1-50 & 0): She has bowled far better than she did today. Struggled to ever find a regular line or length. 4

Kate Cross (1-55 & 8*): Not at her best with the ball and was expensive early on, often straying too straight to Healy. 4

Ellyse Perry was in irresistible form

AUSTRALIA

Alyssa Healy (68): Gave Australia a cracking start. Hits the ball straight beautifully, plays a super cut shot, clips through mid-wicket nicely and kept tidily for the most part. 8.5

Nicole Bolton (4): Another failure for the left-hander, this time slightly unfortunate to be given out when the ball looked to be missing leg stump. 3

Meg Lanning (69): A welcome return to form for a high-class player. Brutal against England's spinners, the only surprise was that she chipped Sciver to point. 8.5

Ellyse Perry (7 & 7-22): Still not quite at her best with the bat despite her runs in the second ODI. Otherworldly with the ball. Absolutely superb. Moving the ball both ways on a consistent line and length, she had far too much for all that came before her. 9.5

Rachael Haynes (12): Slapped Ecclestone straight back at her as she looked to get a move on. 4

 

Beth Mooney (19): One of the heroes of the second ODI, Mooney never found quite the same tempo, eventually getting trapped on the crease to Cross. 5

Ashleigh Gardner (29 & 0-15): A thrilling cameo that was more in keeping with her Women's Big Bash form. Bowled nicely, albeit under zero pressure. 7

Jess Jonassen (24* & 1-15): An excellent cricketer. Batted nicely once again and was miserly through 6.5 overs of left-arm spin, before finally finishing proceedings 7

Delissa Kimmince (18* & 0-0): Bowled successive maidens with England nine down and struck a couple of lusty blows. 6

Georgia Wareham (DNB & DNB): Thanks for coming, Georgia. Not required with either bat or ball, such was Australia's dominance. 5

Megan Schutt (DNB & 2-21): A wily operator and fascinating to watch her go about her array of variations. 7
