Australia win by 16 runs and it means we'll have an Australia v India final on Wednesday. Excellent work from the home side, but a poor chase from England. They'll think they should have got there, or at least enough to make the final. Spin was tough to face throughout the match, the bowlers on both sides were very good. England didn't have anyone anchor the chase unlike Mooney's half-century for Australia. Tayla Vlaeminck's pace was also key as she removed both openers. Still some questions for Australia with the batting, but they dug deep today. That wraps things up for the group stage of this tri-series, we'll be back with coverage of the final on Wednesday. Don't forget the Bushfire Cricket Bash starts shortly and we'll have a live blog up and running. For now, from Alex and Gnasher, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.

19.6

Jonassen to Brunt, 1 run, lofted down the ground to long-off and that's the game

19.5

Jonassen to Brunt, FOUR, slog sweeps and finds the gap at deep midwicket but it won't be enough

19.4

Jonassen to Brunt, 2 runs, lofted straight down the ground but can't beat long-off...just manages to make it back for the second

19.3

Jonassen to Shrubsole, 1 run, driven into the off side and finds cover

19.2

Jonassen to Brunt, 1 run, down the pitch, clipped firmly of the toes but it's only one to deep midwicket

19.1

Jonassen to Brunt, no run, tries to sweep but just gets taken on the pads

This has been an excellent defence of a small total by Australia
