During this Ashes series, fresh off the plane in Hobart, I saw opener Litchfield sprinting round the harbour on her own.

The series moves on to Sydney with the first of three T20s starting on Monday, but until then, Hobart will be remembered for Gardner and her grand day out.

England's hopes of regaining the Women's Ashes are hanging by a thread after suffering a heavy 86-run defeat by Australia in the third and final one-day international in Hobart.

The ODI series concludes in Hobart on 16 January, before three T20s which are also worth two points apiece and a one-off Test match which is worth four.

The first boats are expected to arrive in the city of Hobart, in Tasmania, later on Friday or early on Saturday.
