5.55pm Right then, that's all from today. It was, as Mitch Marsh put it, a good game of cricket. And tomorrow, we'll be back for the final game of the series. Do join us to see if Scotland can upset Australia and prevent a whitewash. For now, on behalf of Karthik and Ranjith, this is Abhimanyu signing off. Ciao!

5.50pm Time for the presentation ceremony.

POTM, Josh Inglis: "To hold that record is really nice [fastest century for Australia]. There was a bit happening early on. We lost a couple of early wickets. We spoke about building a partnership. Once the new ball wore down, it got easier to bat. I think this tour is a really good chance for me to get some game time. It's tough because there are a lot of good players in the squad."

Aussie skipper Mitch Marsh: "I think it was a really good game of cricket. Inglis and Greeny got us out of a bit of trouble. It was another good all-round performance from us. I think we've got a young group here, lot of guys getting opportunities. We spoke about flexibility before the tour. It was Josh's turn today [to shine]. Maybe we'll make a couple of changes, not sure, will have to check with the coach, but first and foremost there's a chance to win the series 3-0."

Scotland captain, Richie Berrington: "Few improvements today. Thought we were much better with the ball in hand. We got some early wickets. You have to give a lot of credit to Inglis for a magnificent innings. They kept getting boundaries through the middle period. I think the character the guys showed [was impressive]. Chris Sole was really impressive with the ball. We have to build on that and keep getting better with every game."

5.40pm So, Australia wrap up the series in style, with more than three overs to spare. George Munsey's enterprising start and Brandon McMullen's fighting fifty kept Scotland in with some hope for victory, but in the end, Australia were too good for Scotland. A career-best bowling performance from Marcus Stoinis, a couple for Cam Green, and one apiece for every other bowler Australia employed today. That, after an imperious knock from Josh Inglis set the win up for Australia, as he made the most of not-so-friendly conditions.

16.4
W
Stoinis to Greaves, OUT

And Greaves picks out long leg! Inglis' century and Australia's bowling proved to be too much for Scotland in the end. The full balll works for Stoinis as Greaves fails to get enough height or distance on that, looking to scoop. And that wraps up a 70-run win for Australia

Chris Greaves c Hardie b Stoinis 6 (6b 1x4 0x6 16m) SR: 100

Stoinis has two balls to pick up his maiden T20I four-for

Stoinis to Currie, 1 run

Full on off, Currie taps it in front of point for a single

16.2
W
Stoinis to Wheal, OUT

Skied to cover! Full on the stumps and he looks to back away and drive it down the ground. Mistimes it and it balloons up and Bartlett settles under it coming in from cover

Brad Wheal c Bartlett b Stoinis 5 (8b 0x4 0x6 7m) SR: 62.5
16.1
Stoinis to Wheal, no run

1
Green to Wheal, 1 run

Drives this full ball past mid-on for a single

14.4
Green to Wheal, no run

Big appeal from Green for lbw as he looks for the yorker and misses. It's a high full toss and hits Wheal above stump-height and was going down leg. The appeal was a cheeky one, with Green already in a smile before turning to see the umpire's response

Brad Wheal is Scotland's No. 10. Cam Green on a hat-trick

14.3
W
Green to Sole, OUT

That's on the money from Cam Green! Just the sole delivery needed to get rid of Chris Sole. This is a length ball angling in from outside off. Sole went for the big shot down the ground but missed completely and the off stump is pegged back. Green wheels away in celebration as Australia close in on that 2-0 series lead

Chris Sole b Green 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0

Chris Sole is the new batter

14.2
W
Green to Watt, OUT

Bowled 'im! Green gets his name on the wickets tally. Got this full ball to angle into Watt, who tries to block but is late to bring the bat down. It goes off his thighs and onto the stumps and he has to make the disappointing walk back

Mark Watt b Green 4 (8b 0x4 0x6 9m) SR: 50

Green to Watt, no run

Length ball outside off, Watt looks to go across to scoop but misses

13.4
W
Stoinis to Leask, OUT

Leask holes out at deep midwicket! This is a slower ball, full outside off, and Leask is looking to slog it over cow corner. But he doesn't get enough to clear JFM at deep midwicket, and he holds on to a simple chance

Michael Leask c Fraser-McGurk b Stoinis 7 (7b 1x4 0x6 19m) SR: 100
