what a way to finish! A low return chance is drilled by to Jonassen who can't hold on. But she is then able to turn around and run out Mair who is stranded out of her crease
Australia win by 71 runs - 23 ODIs in a row - and retain the Rose Bowl which they have held since 2000. That's a heck of a run. In some ways it wasn't their most polished performance as they didn't make the most of a very strong platform with the bat and then were a little wayward in the field, but it was more than good enough. The spinners came to the fore on a wearing surface. A word, too, for Leigh Kasperek who took 6 for 46 on her return to the side. Where has she been before today? There's one game left in the series and it's hard to see anything other than 3-0. I'll be back for that one but for now, from Andrew McGlashan, it's goodbye and thanks for joining me.
