- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR45.3 Jones has pulled off a stunning stumping here! And that's a knock for the ages, a massive innings of 170 comes to an end. Possibly the best ODI knock ever, given it came against the defending champions, and in the final. Goes after the ball outside off, her back foot goes outside the crease as she misses, and that's enough for Jones to whip the balls off. She walks off to a long standing ovation from the crowd here 316/229.1 Stop the press! England have taken a catch. Ecclestone at it again, moves her wickets tally to 21 this World Cup. Haynes looks to go over the off side, ends up slicing it high in the air. Beaumont moves to her left from backward point, settles under it and takes it safely. End of the 160-run opening stand for Australia. 160/147.3 two in two for Shrubsole, there is hope after all! She takes the pace off and pitches it short, Mooney gives the charge and swings to the leg side but barely gets the distance, and Sciver runs in to grab it around knee height 331/545.6 another wicket for Australia as Gardner falls short while going for the second. Mooney bunted this down the ground to long-on and with four overs to go, they wanted a second but an accurate throw from Cross made it easier for Shrubsole to break the stumps 318/347.2 swings across the line, gets a leading edge, and Beaumont takes a sharp and well-judged catch while pedalling back from short third man. The sun might have been in her eyes too 331/4Extras20 (b 4, lb 2, w 14)TOTAL356/5 (50 Overs, RR: 7.12)Fall of wickets: 1-160 (Rachael Haynes, 29.1 ov), 2-316 (Alyssa Healy, 45.3 ov), 3-318 (Ashleigh Gardner, 45.6 ov), 4-331 (Meg Lanning, 47.2 ov), 5-331 (Beth Mooney, 47.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.3 LBW! Given and Schutt celebrates. Beaumont looked so good but unfortunately has to walk back after not getting her captain's support for the review. Length ball swinging in from outside off, pings her high on the front pad after she missed the flick. Australia ask the question and get a positive response. Big wicket, considering how consistent Beaumont has been. Three reds on Hawk-Eye. 38/22.1 Ripper! Perfect inswinger to get rid of Wyatt. Schutt starts strong. Bowls it just full than a good length from over the stumps, inviting Wyatt to drive. She does and the ball sneaks past the inside edge to disturb the stumps. 12/114.6 Stone dead! Knight knows she is gone. Doesn't bother reviewing it and walks back shaking her head. King and Australia rejoice. Tossed up on a fuller length around middle and leg, doesn't rise up much. Turns past her bat as she goes back to defend it and pins her right in front. England's hopes, however little, fade. 86/320.3 swings down the ground and King takes a good catch while paddling back! Jonassen breaks the flourishing stand and England are four down. She took a step down to take the ball on the full and swung hard but couldn't middle it. It went high and King got just enough time to get under it from mid-off 129/427.6 bowled her around the legs again! Bowled from well wide of the crease, nice rip on the ball to make it turn sharply from well outside leg and it goes past Dunkley's paddle to knock over leg stump. Dunkley had been going across too often in Hamilton too, in the league game, and had been bowled in similar fashion 179/529.4 beaten outside off and Healy's done the stumping! We'll have to wait for the third umpire to confirm the dismissal. Lovely loop outside off to keep the batter waiting right at the edge of the crease, the ball turns away past the outside edge, draws her body forward and Healy does the rest 191/632.4 Trapped in front. Full on middle, Ecclestone stays in the crease as she looks to flick. Misses and is trapped in front. It was a cross-seam delivery that did her in. Australia continue to penetrate from one end. 206/733.4 Another stunning catch from Jonassen. Comparable with the one that she took of Brunt in the league stage. Cross pushes this in front of her body and chips it towards Sciver. Jonassen dives full length to her right after her momentum took her to the left, to pull off a good catch. Another batter back in the hutch... 213/842.3 Massive wicket! Charlie Dean is on her haunches knowing that she has thrown it away. Looks to play the reverse sweep again. Fails to clear a jumping Jonassen at short third. Is it game, set, match for Australia? 278/943.4 Shrubsole holes out! That's the game. She can't believe it. Jonassen picks up her third wicket. Looks to go over the infield but doesn't get the elevation. Mid-off runs back and takes it comfortably to give Australia their seventh World Cup win. 285/10Extras10 (lb 4, w 6)TOTAL285 all out (43.4 Overs, RR: 6.52)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 2.1 ov), 2-38 (Tammy Beaumont, 6.3 ov), 3-86 (Heather Knight, 14.6 ov), 4-129 (Amy Jones, 20.3 ov), 5-179 (Sophia Dunkley, 27.6 ov), 6-191 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 29.4 ov), 7-206 (Sophie Ecclestone, 32.4 ov), 8-213 (Kate Cross, 33.4 ov), 9-278 (Charlie Dean, 42.3 ov), 10-285 (Anya Shrubsole, 43.4 ov)
