England's captain Heather Knight says England face a "tough" battle to win the Ashes but urged her team to "keep believing" after Australia won a clean sweep of the ODIs with an 86-run victory at Hobart which leaves the hosts 6-0 up on points.

England now need to win all three of the T20s (worth two points apiece), and the one-off Test (worth four points), to win back the Ashes. However, Knight said they would take inspiration from their performance at home in 2023, when they fought back from losing the Test and the first T20 to draw the series 8-8.
