Australia claimed an emphatic eight-wicket win in the third and final one-day international of the Women's Ashes to leave England winless at the end of the multi-format series.
The home side saved their most dominant performance for last as they bowled England out for 163 before knocking off the runs with 13.4 overs to spare in Melbourne to finish the series as 12-4 winners.
England struggled after opting to bat first but while the run-rate was slow, an 88-run third-wicket stand between Tammy Beaumont (50) and Nat Sciver (46) seemed to have set the platform before a collapse of 8-57 saw the tourists bowled out with three balls of the innings remaining.
Annabel Sutherland (4-31) claimed four of those wickets and then it was over to the Australian batters with Alyssa Healy (42) and Rachael Haynes (31) putting on 74 for the first wicket before Meg Lanning (57no) and Ellyse Perry (31no) took over.
The pair added an unbroken 90 to take Australia to victory in the 37th over with Lanning finishing the job in style as she thumped Tash Farrant over long off for six.
Heather Knight won the toss and elected to bat as England handed a debut to Emma Lamb. However, the 24-year-old opener was bowled second ball by a beauty from Perry that nipped away off the seam to beat the edge and crash into the stumps in the second over.
The timbers were disturbed again soon after as player of the series Tahlia McGrath castled Knight (9) with a yorker speared in at off stump to leave England 19-2.
