England's awful Ashes tour reached a new low as they were bundled out for 90 in the third T20 international at Adelaide to leave Australia on course for a 16-0 whitewash.

Heather Knight's side slumped to 48-7 amid a blizzard of rash shots in a chase of 163 before the captain's 48 from 30 balls lifted them above their worst T20 score of 83, set versus West Indies in 2020.

But the tourists were eventually rolled in 17.3 overs to lose by 72 runs as Australia won their sixth successive white-ball match in the multi-format contest to extend their lead to 12-0.
