How to show timestamps in ms in Ping messages?

How can I change my current Ping timestamps to include milliseconds? Currently it gives me date which only has seconds fine-grained. 

 ping google.com | while read pong; do echo " $pong  @$(date)"; done

If note that the answers should be executable on shell as I am running it on a phone using ADB.

If you're happy with Nanoseconds ... (milliseconds would require some extra maths that would impact on execution time) this would work:

ping google.com | while read pong; do echo " $pong  @$(date  '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S.%N')"; done

And dissecting the format string we threw at date

%Y = 4-digit year
%m = month
%d = day
%H = hour
%M = minute
%S = seconds
%N = nanoseconds

For details: 

man date
