- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR39.6 And there ends a sensational innings! But it's also 100 ODI wickets for Deepti Sharma! Tossed up outside off, Litchfield goes for a big slog and gets a top edge that goes high in the air, but no distance as Harmanpreet Kaur takes a simple catch at cover. Litchfield can walk back proud at a superb knock, that saw her bring out her whole range of shots in her best ODI score 256/528.5 Vastrakar finally gets a wicket!. 189-run opening stand has been broken. The fast bowler has a big smile o her face. Another short of a length delivery, targeting her thighs, Healy looks to pull but doesn't connect it well, the ball goes underneath her bat and crashes onto her stumps 189/132.1 Perry gone! Length ball on the stumps, Perry looks to play this down the leg side but fails to connect and gets hit on her back pad. Looked plumb for lbw. Amanjot gets her first wicket of the series 209/235.1 Mooney has been given out lbw! This is tossed up very full on middle and Mooney misses her sweep. It spun in and hits her on the front pad. Mooney walks, knowing that was plumb. A third wicket in quick succession for India 216/335.2 Two in two for Shreyanka Patil! She traps McGrath in front with a length ball that spins in. McGrath goes up for the review though. McGrath was struck on the back pad. And it's red on wickets, so Australia lose their review, and a wicket. Shreyanka finds herself on a hat-trick, and the young spinner may have just turned the game here for India 216/446.2 Shreyanka strikes back! Yorks Gardner, who was backing away to make room. Ball goes under the bat and hits the leg stump as Gardner tries to jam her bat down. And that's Shreyanka's third of the day. 299/745.6 Amanjot strikes with her final delivery! It's a good catch by Harmanpreet Kaur running to her left from mid-off. Loopy slower ball, full outside off. Sutherland throws her bat at it and it goes high in the air. Kaur calls for it and does well to hold on 295/6Extras28 (lb 8, w 20)TOTAL338/7 (50 Overs, RR: 6.76)Fall of wickets: 1-189 (Alyssa Healy, 28.5 ov), 2-209 (Ellyse Perry, 32.1 ov), 3-216 (Beth Mooney, 35.1 ov), 4-216 (Tahlia McGrath, 35.2 ov), 5-256 (Phoebe Litchfield, 39.6 ov), 6-295 (Annabel Sutherland, 45.6 ov), 7-299 (Ashleigh Gardner, 46.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 Cleaned up! Yastika was getting restless and she moved way across to expose her middle and leg stump. She wanted to scoop this over keeper but the timing wasn't there and was beaten by lack of pace. It was full ball on middle and leg from Schutt 32/18.1 Straight to the fielder at deep cover! Pitched up on off, she comes down the track to hit this in the off side but couldn't get the elevation that she wanted as Garth completes the catch comfortably 43/215.6 Wareham cleans up Richa Ghosh! Tossed up outside off, too full for a sweep, but that's what Ghosh tried to play. She gets an under-edge that deflects the ball onto her off-stump and she departs for 19 72/411.1 And she strikes immediately! It's a soft dismissal too, as Harmanpreet tries to go for a paddle sweep. It's a length ball on leg, Harmanpreet got ready for the sweep and Mooney read it brilliantly to start running across from slip towards leg-slip. The ball pops up for a simple catch thank to her anticipation and India are flailing here 57/320.3 And out! Rodrigues falls for 25. Fuller ball outside off, she goes down on one knee to hit this powerfully across the line but it was too full and went straight to the hands of King at short midwicket 98/522.2 Flying Litchfield takes a stunner, again! Absolutely sensational. Tossed up on off, Amanjot struck this very hard towards cover but Litchfield dives fully to her right to catch the ball with one hand. India six down 102/626.3 Seven down! What a delivery. Legbreak pitches full on leg stump, Vastrakar leans forward to defend but it spun way away from the batter to take the top of her off stump. Dream delivery for a legspinner 128/729.2 Tahlia McGrath now with an absolute blinder! Shreyanka looks to drive a full-ish delivery down the ground but ends up chipping it towards mid-off after hitting it high on the bat. Looked high for McGrath, but she sticks a hand up while moving back and plucks it out of the air. 135/829.3 Birthday girl Renuka is gone for a golden duck! She gets an inside edge through to Healy and the umpire is quick to give it out. It was full and angling in and Renuka looked to defend, but got an inside edge 135/932.4 That is that! And of course, it's a brilliant catch to finish proceedings, from a team that has produced several of those over the course of this match, and series. There's a check for the catch, as Wareham drew the outside edge with a legbreak on a length on off. Mooney at slip took it low on her right. Did she get her hands under the ball though? Australia were confident of it being a clean catch and she does seem to have her fingers underneath. And the third umpire is satifsfied and Australia get the 3-0 series whitewash! 148/10Extras14 (lb 1, w 13)TOTAL148 all out (32.4 Overs, RR: 4.53)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Yastika Bhatia, 4.6 ov), 2-43 (Smriti Mandhana, 8.1 ov), 3-57 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 11.1 ov), 4-72 (Richa Ghosh, 15.6 ov), 5-98 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 20.3 ov), 6-102 (Amanjot Kaur, 22.2 ov), 7-128 (Pooja Vastrakar, 26.3 ov), 8-135 (Shreyanka Patil, 29.2 ov), 9-135 (Renuka Singh, 29.3 ov), 10-148 (Mannat Kashyap, 32.4 ov)
