10:03pm Nirban: "Beth Mooney won by 4 runs." That she did. Right, that's all from us here. Another Aussie win, another dispiriting England performance. Join us on Thursday for the Test at the MCG which, while historic, will feel a little flat...
9:56pm Player of the match is Beth Mooney, who outscored England on her own with an impressive 94* from 63 deliveries:
"I hit a few out of the middle and it was nice to have a few partnerships out there. It was harder (to bat) than we first anticipated. Our ability to run really hard and run lots other twos, manipulate the field, probably put us to the fore."
Heather Knight, now, understandably crestfallen. And a little fed up: "I thought we bowed pretty well. It felt like it was on, the pitch was pretty decent, albeit kept a little low. But when you use all those wickets, it's pretty difficult. We've got to draw a line under the T20s.
"We need to learn a lot from this Australia team."

McGrath to Knight, OUT, That's all she wrote! Knight charges down but McGrath's pitched this one wide of off stump. She misses her cut, Mooney completes the dismissal and Australia's dominance rolls on, this time with a 72-run win! The hosts have been outstanding throughout, but this was a proper flex. England, well, that was an embarrassment. 12-0.
