there it is! Australia have won this series 6-1 as Hastings bounces Anderson, who tries for a hook but just gets a top edge that flies high in the air and Haddin takes the catch.

So, Australia have won by 57 runs, and they've totally dominated this one-day series. England fly home tomorrow night for a few days with their families before they pack their bags again and head to the World Cup.
Adam Voges is the Man of the Match for his excellent unbeaten 80, a career-best that will ensure he is in the mix should any opportunities arise through injuries to Australian batsmen at the World Cup. Watson is the Player of the Series. And Cameron White begins his ODI captaincy career with a victory.
That's it from a massive summer of international cricket in Australia. Andrew Strauss and his men have lost this series, but they should take a bow for the thrashing that they gave Australia in the Ashes. Andrew McGlashan has been covering this ODI series for us, and his bulletin can be found here.
Thanks for joining us throughout this series, and do tune in again when these two teams begin their World Cup campaigns later this month. On behalf of all the commentators throughout this series - Sahil Dutta, Liam Brickhill and George Binoy - this is Brydon Coverdale signing off.

and all of a sudden Yardy has pulled Bollinger for six! What a good shot, he's connected well with this and cleared the rope comfortably, and that's Yardy's highest ODI score

Bollinger to Yardy, 2 runs
oh well played! Yardy has smashed this straight back at the bowler, and Bollinger did well to get his head out of the way, so hard was that struck. He had no chance to get the hands up for a catch, and Krejza at mid-off only just saves it

Tait to Finn, OUT
bowled. Base of middle stump. If Tait got a yorker on line, you just knew Finn was in trouble, and he was backing away and trying to slash it through the off side, but Tait was far too quick.
