ELLYSE Perry recorded the best ever women's one-day international figures for an Australian as England was thrashed by 194 runs, a third humbling in as many ODIs, in the Ashes series at Canterbury.
Perry finished with 7/22 as England slumped to 75 all out, its lowest ever ODI score against Australia.
Needing a record run chase of 270 the Poms instead trumped their low against the old enemy of 79 in 2000.
Their hopes of victory were realistically decimated inside Perry's first 12 balls which brought about three wickets.
Amy Jones (0) spooned a catch to substitute fielder Nicola Carey at mid on and then second ODI centurion Tammy Beaumont (4) was trapped in front of her stumps. The next ball, a superb delivery holding up on the sloped wicket, had Sarah Taylor (0) out nicking behind, putting the all-rounder on a hat-trick for the second time in the series.
Matters did not improve when Nat Sciver (0) left without scoring after being squared up in front by Megan Schutt (2/21).
