Australia win by 71 runs - 23 ODIs in a row - and retain the Rose Bowl which they have held since 2000. That's a heck of a run. In some ways it wasn't their most polished performance as they didn't make the most of a very strong platform with the bat and then were a little wayward in the field, but it was more than good enough. The spinners came to the fore on a wearing surface. A word, too, for Leigh Kasperek who took 6 for 46 on her return to the side. Where has she been before today? There's one game left in the series and it's hard to see anything other than 3-0. I'll be back for that one but for now, from Andrew McGlashan, it's goodbye and thanks for joining me.
