Gayakwad on to bowl her final over – Meg Lanning sweeps the first ball, Jemimah Rodrigues dives full-length to parry the ball at deep square leg, but the ball rebounds to squirm onto the rope about 20 yards away.

Aus 117-1
Not much consolation for India – as that wicket brings out Meg Lanning, who’s only ranked by most commentators as the top female batter in world cricket.
They ran on the catch – a two takes Mooney to 40 from 34 balls.

What an innings – in a World Cup final, on home soil. She’s played many great innings but this is the best.

And it’s finally Alyssa Healy’s curtain call – she goes down the ground again, aiming for a sixth six, but this time it doesn’t quite have the legs and Veda Krishnamurthy holds on at long-on. What an innings.

Next ball, it’s six more – this time over long-off!
What an astonishing innings this is from the Aussie keeper, who has 69 from 35 balls.
