Here are the Live Scores.
Gilchrist was dismissed for a golden duck as Australia were bowled out for 200, chasing England's 292-7.
He said: "We were pretty average, but I don't think there's reason for concern.
"But we set pretty high standards, and when we don't meet those standards, people will always be a bit critical, and we'll be critical on ourselves."
Australia sit atop the triangular one-day series table, with three times as many points as England and New Zealand.
"We've been challenged by England a bit more
Adam Gilchrist"
They are already guaranteed a place in the finals, which start on 9 February.
Gilchrist said: "We won't get too down and out about this, but certainly we want to work on the areas we think we can improve on from this game.
"Batting-wise I got us off to a bad start and that set the tone for the innings - so it was a bad day for us.
"We didn't bowl particularly well either - we didn't hold it together in the middle and late stages.
"We've been challenged by them (England) a bit more. It's hard to know whether we're allowing them in or if they're pushing us a bit harder."
Gilchrist said there was no further news on Andrew Symonds, who retired hurt on 39 after hurting his bicep.
"It's a simple case that we'll know more on Saturday when he has a scan. I'm sure over the next few days there'll be more light shed on this."
