- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 shorter length down leg, she pulls and misses out. Another appeal for caught behind given not out and another review. Ultraedge shows a little touch on the glove as she tries to pull! Good review this time. Decision overturned! Litchfield knew she touched it as she was hurried and cramped trying to pull 17/19.6 whipped straight to deep midwicket! Full on middle, she uses the bottom hand to whip it high over midwicket, Beaumont had move straighter in the deep and it went straight to her on the rope! Good catch 46/36.3 flicked straight to short fine! Bell is blushing as that was not a great delivery. Full down leg, Perry tries to flick up and over short fine but flicks it flat and straight to Filer on the circle! Bonus wicket that 27/232.1 Superb catching from Sciver-Brunt and Dean provides the breakthrough! Tossed up on a length, Mooney charges down and looks to go over the off side but skies it high. Sciver-Brunt runs back to her left shoulder from cover, has here eyes on the ball, perhaps misjudges a bit but settles under it and pouches it. A timely break for England that ends the 95-run partnership 154/514.2 straight to mid-off! Sutherland holes out in the ring again! Almost the same as Melbourne. Tossed up outside off, she skips out and tries to loft over mid-off but hits it low and flat and Ecclestone dives forward to take the catch really well on the circle 59/445.6 Beaumont takes a beauty at deep square! Shorter length, slower ball, Gardner tries to launch and doesn't get all of it, Beaumont runs forward and takes a superb diving catch! 257/646.5 given lbw! McGrath reviews immediately She stepped outside the line and was hit on the leg infront of off trying to launch behind square! Three reds as it hit in line and was hitting middle and off. Australia lose a review 262/749.1 holes out to deep square! King tries to take them on and loses! Tossed up outside leg, she tries to heave over deep square, Capsey runs around and takes a very good running catch 291/8Extras11 (lb 1, w 10)TOTAL308/8 (50 Overs, RR: 6.16)Did not bat: M SchuttFall of wickets: 1-17 (Phoebe Litchfield, 3.3 ov), 2-27 (Ellyse Perry, 6.3 ov), 3-46 (Alyssa Healy, 9.6 ov), 4-59 (Annabel Sutherland, 14.2 ov), 5-154 (Beth Mooney, 32.1 ov), 6-257 (Ashleigh Gardner, 45.6 ov), 7-262 (Tahlia McGrath, 46.5 ov), 8-291 (Alana King, 49.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.3 crashes into leg stump! Beaumont plays all around it! Skips out to a good length ball drifting into leg, she whips across the line having not got to the pitch, it beats the inside edge, brushes the pad and crashes into leg! 118/30.5 And that forces an error early! Bouchier has to walk back early and Schutt strikes first over. Bouchier likes to use her feet a bit to get going but Healy denied her that by coming up to the stumps. And Schutt then bowls it full and outside off, asking the batter to take an attacking option. She looks to go over extra cover but miscues it badly. McGrath gets around to her left from mid-off and makes no mistake 1/16.4 Sharp catch from Healy and it's goodbye, good Knight! Schutt bowls it full and entices the drive again. She goes for it but is almost reaching out for it with her back-foot firmly rooted in the crease. Manages only a tickle and the glovework is impeccable from Healy. Okay, on another look, it seemed like a legcutter, which is what did Knight in 29/230.4 clean bowled! Beautiful piece of bowling! Wareham had been bowling at sub 80kph in this over. She speeds it up with a flatter 84kph on middle, perfect length, Sciver-Brunt went back but was beaten by the quicker pace, it slides on through the gate as she tries to wipe across the line and loses her middle stump! 151/436.5 Litchfield the King on the field! What a catch that is! Runs back from extra cover, dives full stretch to pluck a two-handed stunner. She is never short of these efforts, is she? And that gives King her first wicket - that of the dangerous Wyatt-Hodge, who looks to go inside out over the in-field. Oh Australia, of all the ways you manage to come back into a contest. A free-flowing partnership has been culled, thanks to an athletic effort on the field 200/538.4 What is with fielders taking stunners of the bowling of Kingy?! It is Garth this time to go with her stingy opening spell. King tosses this one down leg, Jones looks to sweep it away but gets a top edge - perhaps off the glove. Short fine leg quickly gets to her right, dives low because the ball was dying on her, and takes it with both her hands. Australia have decided to hasten the end and are leaving no stone unturned in doing so. Ending quickly for England this 209/737.2 A huge appeal and GIVEN! I did not think that was a convincing appeal and Capsey takes the DRS. Length ball angling in from off and middle, she looks to heave it across the line but misses and is hit on the back thigh. She is quite deep in the crease and will that prove to be her undoing? Yes it is as the ball is hitting leg - three reds! A two-ball duck for Capsey and England are sliding rapidly now 201/642.2 Alana King completes a sensational five-wicket haul, her first in ODIs to give Australia a 3-0 win in the series. She flights one up, Dean charges down to go big but misses. Healy does the rest - quite cleanly - and yet the TV umpire is needed to adjudge the final decision. A massive 86-run win for Australia 222/1040.3 Gardner, Gardner, Gardner!!! You cannot do that! Not after you hit your maiden international century to rescue Australia earlier in the day! Ufff! The timing on that jump - a big tick for me that. She is placed at the deep midwicket boundary. Ecclestone sees the full ball in her slot and thinks there is a six for the taking. But there is Gardner now, like there was Gardner earlier. She leaps, takes a one-hander, loses her balance yet maintains it. She is going to fall beyond but does well to throw the ball back in the air. Loses balance beyond the rope and yet jumps back in and dives forward to pluck it inches off the ground. All of this inside a second to give King her third wicket. Take a bow! 215/840.6 Wicket No. 4 for King! She has just hastened England's end and how. Tosses another one full around off, Filer looks to go big but ends up slicing it high. Garth moves to her right at backward point and takes a real easy catch - after all that we have witnessed a while ago. England on the brink 215/9Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL222 all out (42.2 Overs, RR: 5.24)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Maia Bouchier, 0.5 ov), 2-29 (Heather Knight, 6.4 ov), 3-118 (Tammy Beaumont, 24.3 ov), 4-151 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 30.4 ov), 5-200 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 36.5 ov), 6-201 (Alice Capsey, 37.2 ov), 7-209 (Amy Jones, 38.4 ov), 8-215 (Sophie Ecclestone, 40.3 ov), 9-215 (Lauren Filer, 40.6 ov), 10-222 (Charlie Dean, 42.2 ov)
