  1. Goodbye!published at 17:34 British Summer Time 7 September

    Australia beat Scotland by six wickets

    I think that will just about do us.

    It's been an absolute pleasure to watch - not always from a Scottish perspective, but from a cricket perspective.

    A comfortable series win from Australia in the end, but there were lots of positives for Scotland to take - Brandon McMullen's performances, the bowling of Chris Sole and Brad Currie - going forward.

    Hopefully it won't be too long until we welcome Australia back to our shores. Until then, have a good one!

  2. Marsh looking forward to getting Scottish fans backpublished at 17:31 British Summer Time 7 September

    Australia captain Mitch Marsh tells BBC Sport: "We've had a great week. We've had a lot of contributors, which is what you want especially in a young team. The boys have had a lot of fun.

    "First and foremost, we wanted to win. Young guys stepped up in different moments, and we've played some good all-round cricket.

    "International cricket, we play in all different conditions - the fog yesterday, playing in 15 degrees, provided us with a different challenge. It's been a real privilege to come here and play.

    "We get the sense that cricket is really popular here in a really proud country. It'll be nice to have the Scottish fans back with us when we go south."

  3. Berrington highlights McMullen performancepublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 7 September

    Scotland skipper Richie Berrington tells BBC Sport: "It's been a tough week results-wise but having the opportunity to play a team like Australia, to get them across here, has been a fantastic experience for all of us. It's something we need more of to keep improving as a team.

    "You can see around the ground the excitement there is for cricket. Although it's not gone our way and there's things we can do better, the highlight has been seeing The Grange full and the atmosphere and support we've had.

    "We've shown we're not too far away. It's very small margins when you play Australia. if you're not quite on it, they'll hurt you and we've seen that

    "There's still been good performances, we've seen Brandon McMullen's quality with bat and ball. We know where the bar is and we need get closer to that.

    "This week has been incredible and credit to Cricket Scotland for getting the series on. The more we can do this, the more we'll show we can get better and compete."

  4. Find out Cam Green's favourite thing about Scotlandpublished at 17:24 British Summer Time 7 September

    Australia win by six wickets

    Cam Green is nominated as man of the match, and tells BBC Sport: "What we got out of the series is a lot of guys got opportunities. A few guys took them and hopefully we can lean into good cricket next series.

    "I've had a lot of fun in the IPL. It's a form of the game everyone enjoys watching but the cricketers enjoy playing.

    [Best thing about being in Scotland] "Probably the golf."

    Fair enough Cam, it's probably not the weather.

    It's been an outstanding festival of cricket and we don't get enough of it in Scotland. When these big countries come here, we show we can put on an event.

    We've sold out all three days, alongside the start of a new soccer season. People are coming to watch cricket and because people know it's now a destination for cricket.

    This is now a place big countries want to come and play.

  6. Australia win by six wicketspublished at 16.1 overs

    AUS 153-4 (target 150)

    And there it is!

    Aaron Hardie drives Chris Sole through the off-side for four to complete a 3-0 series victory.

    Scotland have been well beaten, but haven't disgraced themselves and have certainly made their case for more fixtures against high-calibre opposition.

  7. AUS 149-4 (target 150)published at 16 overs

    Scores are level...

  8. 6 runs

    AUS 145-4 (target 150)published at 17:05 British Summer Time 7 September

    Cam Green runs at Mark Watt and admires his shot as it sails over the stand behind the bowler.

    Victory is inevitable now for the visitors.

  9. AUS 138-4 (target 150)published at 15.1 overs

    Mark Watt is back into the attack and his first ball is reverse-swept for four by Aaron Hardie.

    Australia need 12 to win from 29 balls.

    I think Jack Jarvis is enjoying his afternoon on the boundary. That was a superb take out of the sky, the sun was blinding him but he followed it all the way.

    "You're a good cricketer Jarvis, and a good person!" shouts an Australian fan.

  11. wicket

    WICKET David c Jarvis b Sole 25published at 14.2 overs

    AUS 131-4 (target 150)

    Tim David looks to clear the leg-side boundary again, but only succeeds in hitting it straight up into the Edinburgh sun.

    Jack Jarvis trots round to his left and takes a safe catch, much to the delight of his personal fan club behind him.

  12. AUS 122-3published at 13.3 overs

    This partnership between Green and David is already higher than anything Scotland managed.

    It's been a real lesson in game management across this series from Australia.

  13. 50 runs

    for Cam Greenpublished at 13.2 overs

    AUS 122-3 (target 150)

    A gorgeous straight drive brings Cam Green four more before a single takes him to 50 from 33 balls.

    A top knock.

  14. AUS 115-3 (target 150)published at 13 overs

    It's Jack Jarvis to continue from the Inverleith Park end.

    Scotland need more of this from their young seamer...

  15. 6 runs

    AUS 113-3 (target 150)published at 12.5 overs

    A frankly ridiculous shot brings Cam Green six more.

    Mark Watt goes to his trademark 24-yarder in an attempt to make something happen, but the Australian all-rounder is ready for it and reverse-scoops it for six.

  16. AUS 106-3 (target 150)published at 12 overs

    Safyaan Sharif's latest over goes for 12, including a mighty six from Tim David.

    Australia need 44 to win from 48 balls for a series sweep.

  17. AUS 94-3 (target 150)published at 11 overs

    Cam Green now has 34 from 23 balls - he's the wicket Scotland both want and need.

  18. 6 runs

    AUS 93-3 (target 150)published at 10.4 overs

    Chris Sole whizzes a couple past Cam Green and through to Matthew Cross, but a pace-off delivery is walloped for six over the leg-side boundary.

  19. wicket

    WICKET Marsh b Jarvis 31published at 9.2 overs

    AUS 79-3 (target 150)

    He's got him! Marsh drags on and Jarvis removes the Australian captain.

    The Aussie fans who were giving him stick can't believe it. They're whooping and hollering, their new favourite has just cleaned up.

  20. AUS 73-2 (target 150)published at 9 overs

    Jack Jarvis getting it tight from an Australian fan.

    "Sign his bat, Jarvis!"

    "He wants Travis Head but you'll do!"

    "Bit of an attention seeker Jarvis, signing his bat!"

    Can't win with these guys. Jarvis is on to bowl now. I'm sure that'll quieten them down.
