England 244-9; Australia 248-4. Australia win by six wicketsGardner hits 104no and Sutherland 98no Ever get the feeling of deja vu? At Indore on Wednesday, Australia took up where they had left off at the MCG in January: Alana King bowled unplayable balls, Annabel Sutherland and Ash Gardner piled on the runs and one side left the other for dust.
