Milestone
That's it from another thriller encounter in the women's Ashes series which is still alive as we head into the ODIs next week. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash and scorer Yogesh Kumar bidding adieu to all. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Heather Knight (England Women Captain): "Yeah, it feels good. The pitch was actually different from what we thought. Usually spin dominates quite a lot in Lord's but it was seam today. I think it was a decent track. I thought it was below par (Australia Women Score). On different days, different people are performing. The crowd lifted us tonight. Really appreciate the support. Still, a long way to go. We are looking at one game at a time."
Alyssa Healy (Australia Captain): "They just played a really good innings. They just played their shots and took their chances when I didn't thought. We didn't execute as much as we would have liked with the ball. They played some fearless cricket and got themselves over the line.
Numerous things we would have done differently but its the beauty of T20 cricket when you are not quite on you get pounced upon by teams and I thought England played good cricket right throughout the series . We couldn't match to their level in this T20 cricket but we love ODI format and its good that we have more games coming in the Ashes series.
We will take some confidence off our fielding it was something we wanted to improve. I thought the girls did really well tonight. We fought right till the end and really happy the girls did well in the series."

Danielle Wyatt (Player of the series): "Just keep it simple and react. just a matter of watching the ball and staying calm. I have got dodgy wrists. Heading off to Wimbledon tomorrow should be a nice day."
Alice Capsey (POTM): "It's been unbelievable. The series is still alive which is amazing. Having my family here was amazing, hope they are enjoying the hospitality.
It was just a boundary an over and playing on the front foot. It was about playing to our strengths and put the Aussies under pressure.
T20 cricket, especially the way I play and the backing I have got, sometimes it will come off, sometimes it won't. Its about getting better and become more consistent. I've been working hard in the nets and talking to the coaches about how to go about the Aussies attacking."

2:37 AM IST, 10:07 PM Local time: England keep themselves alive in the multi-format Ashes with a come from behind 2-1 win in the T20I series defeating Australia at Lord's by 5 wickets in a rain hit third T20I.
After Australia's 155/7 in the 20 overs, rain interrupted play for a long time as the chase was reduced to 14 overs and 119 the newly adjusted target in a 4-over powerplay in play. Danni Wyatt was cruising at 26 in 15 balls as she was dismissed against the run of play followed by opening partner Sophia Dunkley on the very next delivery.
Nat Sciver-Brunt (25 off 25) and Alice Capsey (46 off 23) then added 68 runs for the third wicket taking England closer to the game with 54 needed at the halfway stage. Capsey hit 4 fours and all the 2 sixes of England's innings and holed out to Ash Gardner in the deep off the bowling off Megan Schutt with 12 required in 15 balls.
England lost 2 more wickets in the sudden turn of events as Georgia Wareham bowled 2 economic overs conceding 10 runs and picking up Sciver-Brunt. Jess Jonassen tasked to defend just 2 runs in the final over got rid of the skipper Heather Knight but was hit for a boundary by newbie Danielle Gibson on the first ball she faced as England took the win with 4 balls remaining.
England now trail by 6-4 in the multi-format series and a 3-0 victory in the upcoming ODIs can help them win the series, winning 2 games can also do the trick if a game is rained off. The first ODI will be played in Bristol on Wednesday. A huge crowd of 21,610 people attended this fascinating T20I which is now a record for a home fixture for the English women's team in a bilateral series.
