On that note, it's time for us to say goodbye. Hope you've enjoyed our coverage all through the women's series. Can't wait to get stuck in for the next set of games in the lead up to the women's World Cup that promises to be a banger. From Alan and myself, along with Harshit and Thilak, it's goodbye and goodnight. Many thanks for your company. Cheerio!

Hypocaust with a parting shot: "At 21 years 345 days, Kranti Gaud is the youngest pace bowler to take 6 or more wickets in a women's ODI innings. The previous youngest was England's Jo Chamberlain, who was 22y 85d when she took 7-8 against Denmark in 1991."

It's time for the post-match honours

Harmanpreet Kaur is the Player of the Match for her century. She's also the Player of the series. "It's a great moment for all of us, really happy the way we played both the series. Credit to the team and support staff for the way we've gelled. They've all been great on and off the field. Everyone in the team, whenever they get the opportunity they want to take it with both hands. The effort on the field, something we've been talking about, happy it's giving us results. [On Charani and Gaud]: Both of them got really good experience in WPL, they've been strike bowlers for their teams, they're always ready to bowl for the team. Really happy with the way Kranti and all of them bowled, it shows how keen they were to win this match and the series. Credit to our fielding coach Munish Bali sir, he's been working hard. Initially it was frustrating, we weren't getting the reward for the efforts. I've been working hard, I knew when the right time comes, I'll deliver. I'll dedicate this innings to my dad, I hope he'll be very happy the kind of batting. When I wasn't getting runs, I was under pressure. When you keep working hard, the right time will come. Today was the right platform to deliver."

Nat Sciver-Brunt: "We did really well to stay in the game that long. The wickets at the end really cost us. Having a set batter, going into the last 10 overs, we were happy with where we were. We also conceded too many runs with the ball. We do work very hard on our fielding, the engagement at practice is brilliant, translating that into the game is what we've missed a little bit. We'll continue to work on it. We don't have the luxury of loads of allrounders, the balance of the side is an ongoing conversation we have quite a lot, it'll be pitch dependant. My plan is to be able to bowl by the time the World Cup comes, so we'll have a sixth bowling option. India are a world class side that will take some beating in Indian conditions. Their fielding has been brilliant at times, they've shown how much of a difference you can make on the field, their discipline with the ball has been brilliant."

England's player of the summer: 302 runs at 75.5, along with nine catches and three stumpings. Amy Jones "Loved the new role (as an opener). West Indies series went well, it's part of the learnings, riding the highs and lows. It feels like there's a lot of the summer left to play. India has been a huge challenge, we've enjoyed it. They played really well throughout. Biggest thing [learning] is mindset. If that's my job, it'll be adapting to different opening bowlers. In terms of mindset it's about trusting my mindset and reacting to the ball."

8.27pm What a finale we've had! It didn't promise to be remotely close when England stumbled to 8 for 2 in the third over of this mammoth chase. Then Nat Sciver-Brunt and Emma Lamb fought their way back with a superb century stand to take the fight to India.

It came down to the last 20 overs with both sides in with an even chance. It's at this point that India's spinners and their fielding - not their strongest suit - rose to the occasion. Leading the way was Jemimah Rodrigues, an absolute wall inside the ring and a gun outfielder.

Equally impressive was a young seamer from Madhya Pradesh - Kranti Gaud - whow as fast-tracked into the team for the bristling pace and energy, which she exhibited in abundance to pick up six wickets in a magical win.

There couldn't have been a bigger confidence booster than a series win for India as they build towards a home World Cup in under two months. There's a series against Australia at home to follow and this sets them up superbly.

Goud to Bell, OUT, picks out the skipper at cover, Gaud finishes with six and India clinch their second straight ODI series in England! Gaud went length outside off, slowed her pace down, forcing the batter to try and manufacture it, Bell backed away to go over cover but could only hit it as far as Harman at the edge of the ring. India took the T20Is 3-2, they now take the ODI series 2-1

Goud to Bell, SIX, that's been muscled and she has picked the bones out of it, clears wide long-on comfortably. A bit too late for England....unless there's a no-ball or a wide

So it all comes down to this. The last over of the decider. To decide the winner. India favourites. But England still in it. Kranti on a hat-trick for a second time today. She'll bowl from around the stumps. Let's go
