0.4 to ME Bouchier, edged, taken, top catch! Back of a length at off stump, hint of movement away, Bouchier is forced to play, takes a thick edge and Mooney dives across in front of first slip.. 3/1 15.6 to HC Knight, given lbw! Brilliant bowling. Has had the ball going both ways. This one holds its line, beats the inside edge, cannons into the front pad, Knight caught on the crease. Umpire's call on clipping leg. Not as stone dead as it looked on first viewing. 47/3 | ||||||||||
| 18 | 4 | 47 | 2 | 2.61 | 86 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
7.1 to TT Beaumont, big appeal, and given lbw! Looked very good. Length ball, nips back, takes Beaumont on the knee roll as she lunges forward. And there's no review. Very nice piece of bowling. That's heading for middle stump. 23/2 63.3 to L Filer, top-edged... and taken by the diving Voll running up from slip! Filer makes room and has a hack once again. Plenty of hang time on the ball but it was threatening to fall into no-man's land. Superbly done by the fielder in the end and Brown gets another. England nine down. 157/9 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 0 | 30 | 0 | 3.00 | 44 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
| 10.4 | 2 | 30 | 1 | 2.81 | 51 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
51.1 to AE Jones, cleaned up! Done by the straighter one. Length ball on off stump, Jones plays back, slides on past the bat and takes the top of off stump. That's pretty lazy from Jones. 130/6 | ||||||||||
| 23 | 6 | 45 | 4 | 1.95 | 113 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
38.1 to SIR Dunkley, chipped straight back! Dunkley has battled away, more intent on survival than scoring runs - but she now gifts a return catch to King. There was dip and flight on the ball, as ever, but Dunkley ends up playing too straight as she stepped to leg. The TV umpire is checking it wasn't a bump ball... but it wasn't. Australia break England's first substantial stand of the Test. 97/4 48.4 to DN Wyatt, terrific catch! Brilliant from Litchfield at silly point. Tossed up full, Wyatt-Hodge closes the face and the leading edge goes straight of Litchfield who is able to dive to her right two balls after being whacked by that drive. 127/5 52.2 to S Ecclestone, taken at cover! Another soft one. Tossed up at off stump, Ecclestone tries to drive over the off side and picks out the packed off-side ring. 131/7 58.6 to Nat Sciver-Brunt, bowled 'er! NSB pays the price for going back on her stumps. King turns it from leg to hit middle as she swats across the line. Maybe stayed a touch low, too. Fourth wicket for the leggie and England's main line of resistance departs. 144/8 | ||||||||||

6.6 to G Voll, full in the channel, nicked behind! England make the beakthrough as Voll throws the hands at one. Slightly injudicious, the ball was full enough to drive but she wasn't quite to the pitch. A thick edge nestles in Jones' gloves and the debutant departs. 19/1 39.3 to P Litchfield, drives, edges! Bell is rewarded. Full, pushed across outside off, Litchfield goes for the drive, away from her body, and it's a thin one to Jones. 99/2 | ||||||||||
| 26 | 4 | 86 | 2 | 3.30 | 105 | 9 | 0 | 2 | 1 | |
125.3 to KJ Garth, edged, caught behind! Full and wide, Garth chases it with a flat-footed drive and it's a simple one for Jones. Filer has deserved that. 432/7 129.3 to BL Mooney, cleaned up! Takes off stump. Mooney giving herself a touch of room again, plays inside the line of a length ball. Filer has been very good today. 438/9 | ||||||||||

61.5 to AJ Healy, probing, probing, gone! Healy has reviewed this but unless she's got an inside-edge, this looks toast! Typical Ecclestone lines, from round the wicket, keeping the knee-roll in her sights all the way. It is very close to the inside-edge... but the intercept on the bat is almost exactly the same time. "No conclusive evidence," says the third umpire ... she's gone, if Ball-Tracker is accurate, and sure enough it's three reds! Healy is not happy. But to judge by that angle, if there was inside-edge, it could conceivably have been after the impact on the knee. 170/3 114.6 to A Gardner, taken, but only just! Goodness me. A short ball, Gardner shapes to pull, loops off a top edge, Filer runs in at square and only just manages to keep hold of it. The chin did a bit of work.. 405/5 124.4 to TM McGrath, taken at mid-on! McGrath tries to break free, uses her feet, the bat twists in her hands and she miscues a comfortable catch to mid-on (although still needed catching!). 431/6 128.2 to AM King, full, straight, given! King plays around a straight one. She gets a long way across the crease. King discusses the review but the walks off. 437/8 130.3 to EA Perry, gone! Chips it back to the bowler. Comes down the pitch, aims to whip to the leg side, gets a leading edge and taken at chest height. Ecclestone finishes with five. 440/10 | ||||||||||
| 19 | 3 | 69 | 1 | 3.63 | 80 | 9 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
90.4 to A Sutherland, goes for the drive, nips through the gate! That's McDonald-Gay's breakthrough but Filer's wicket. That last over just unsettled her equilibrium, and it was a tired lack of footwork that was her undoing there, as off stump was pegged back with just enough movement back off the seam. All the same, what a knock. The MCG rises to a match-seizing batter. 324/4 | ||||||||||

3.5 to ME Bouchier, through her! Terrific delivery. Fuller at off stump, nips back between bat and pad, takes the top of middle comprehensively beaten. Feet stuck in the crease. Very well bowled. 6/1 | ||||||||||

29.5 to HC Knight, turned straight to short leg! Knight has given it away after battling away for the best part of two hours. Spinning in and popped off the face of the bat for a dolly of a catch. Gardner throws up her arms in celebration, half-surprised at the development. Another soft dismissal for England. 79/2 39.6 to DN Wyatt, top edge, taken! That's very soft. Goes for the sweep, touch of extra bounce perhaps, can't keep it down and it's a simple catch to backward square leg. 109/5 45.6 to AE Jones, edged, taken! Terrific bowling. Slides on outside off, Jones plays forward, takes a thin nick and it's very well taken by Mooney. Another top-class piece of offspin bowling from Gardner and caps a great session for Australia. 117/7 57.2 to S Ecclestone, half-tracker hoicked to mid-on! Ecclestone goes and England are nine down. In fact, I think that was a genuine bouncer from Gardner, luring Ecclestone into a cross-batted swipe - and King is underneath it to take a simple catch. The end is nigh. 134/9 | ||||||||||

34.5 to Nat Sciver-Brunt, huge appeal, and given! NSB has called the review in an instant. Did look a little leg side. It's the slider, goes past the inside edge into the knee roll of the front pad. And it's three reds! Smashing the top of leg stump. Superb bowling. 100/3 36.2 to SIR Dunkley, what a ball! That's magnificent. A worldie of a leg-break. Drifts outside leg stump, grips and spins past the bat as Dunkley plays forward. Ball of the Century? SK Warne would be proud. 104/4 40.4 to TT Beaumont, dragged on! Another one goes. Beaumont playing off the back foot, a half-hearted poke, takes an inside edge into the stumps. 109/6 52.6 to R MacDonald-Gay, oh no, RMG lumps a full toss straight to a fielder! Probably the worst ball King has bowled all series - so high, in fact, that they will check for a no-ball - but MacDonald-Gay, her eyes lighting up, can only heave it to deep midwicket. Definitely dipping below waist height on the side-on replay, RMG will have to go. Been that sort of tour for England. 122/8 68.4 to L Filer, chipped to mid-on, King has five! Australia secure the whitewash! Filer finally finds a fielder and it's all over under the floodlights at the 'G. Australia win a historic Test by an innings and 122 runs, and sweep the series 16-0. 148/10 | ||||||||||
