Watch the moment 'dominant' Australia beat England to win T20 World Cup
For the seventh time, Australia have won the Women's T20 World Cup, beating England by seven wickets.
You can read Matthew Henry's report from Lord's here.
England will have to bounce back quickly, with their historic Lord's Test against India getting under way on 10 July - we'll have full coverage of that right here on the BBC Sport website.
For now, goodbye!
Australia batter Phoebe Litchfield: "It's gone to plan, hasn't it? We've played how we wanted to all tournament and that didn't change today. Very satisfying to be on the winning side.
"We know we're a good side. I know we haven't performed to our best in the past two World Cups but internally we know how good we are, we knew we needed to win those pressure moments and we did that throughout. We made it really simple, and a lot has to go to our skipper who has done a brilliant job to set us up physically and mentally.
"We're performing well, having fun and that's our recipe for success. It's a packed crowd at Lord's, World Cup final - stuff of dreams. You have to enjoy that.
"This legacy of Australian cricket will go on for decades, every new player who comes in knows exactly what they need to do and is motivated by the past players.
"100% [special v England]. Credit to them, they had an amazing tournament and we got the rub of the green today. But I'm sure there will be fiery battles between us in the future."

Amazing performance from the girls against an awesome England team who've had a great campaign and who we respect enormously.
"To get over the line in Soph's first World Cup [as captain], it's a joy to be a part of.
"Looking at our group, they're amazing people who want to get better. We've had some things to work on, some challenges, but we've hopefully taken our game to a new level. To have the chance to be part of that is the privilege of a lifetime.
"Not just young girls but all the young boys, that's been the coolest shift. In years to come, they're going to think it's totally normal for women to be out here doing their thing. To all the kids here today, I hope you had a great time. And the parents for bringing them along. And the cricket fans, you've made today special."
More from Beth Mooney after being named player of the tournament: "This has been on the calendar for a little while. It's nice to be part of the squad first and foremost and have a role to play. It's fun to be here.
"There's been a lot of evolution in this group over 12 months, a lot of fun, so it's nice to cap it off."
On how Australia keep winning: "I think just playing the game with conviction, freedom, bravery, and backing each other. We've got a lot of support on the sidelines. We've had niggles along the way but we've had a full squad to pick from in a big game."
On captain Sophie Molineux: "Soph's been amazing. She's just calm and composed and doesn't look too flustered. She's put her own spin on the captaincy and been a great leader. She's been a great leader in Australian cricket for a long time.
"It's amazing icing on the cake for what's been an amazing tournament for us as a group."
Image source, Getty ImagesAustralia's Beth Mooney, after being named player of the match: "I'm just happy to be be here. It's been well documented that we haven't made it in the last two ICC events. I woke up this morning pretty grateful we have made it this far.
"I started the tournament a little rusty but I warmed up. I have some great support in our coach staff and have had plenty of help all the way. I can't take too much credit.
"The game plan was to settle the dugout in the powerplay in a big game. I tried to make sure we got ahead of the game as early as possible."

Absolutely agree with Yvonne from Durham. Charlie Dean should replace NSB as captain and we need a new Keeper. Jones has been too comfortable for too long. Time for change to push on to the next level
Phil in Chigwell
Australia much the better side but England could have been more adaptable. Kemp could have gone up the order once we had made a slow start. Ecclestone to open the bowling?
Simon
Sadly, England only have themselves to blame .. slow scoring followed by little more than medium paced bowling posed no real threat to the Australians...

More from England coach Charlotte Edwards: "Yeah, absolutely [Australia set the blueprint]. They have led the way for years. They have got the depth that allows them to play that way up the top. You have to be at your best to beat them and we weren't, hence why they're lifting the trophy now."
It's been an amazing competition to be a part of. More teams involved, some brilliant games from the likes of Scotland, Ireland and Netherlands. It's done so much for women's cricket, a sellout at Lord's here. Hopefully we can build on this and use it as a platform going forward.
"There will be [hunger to come back]. They have shown so much fight, they never gave up even at the end there. I'm really, really proud and our time will come. We are building, this was always going to be a quick turnaround for us but we are certainly further in the journey than I thought we would be.
"The next 12 months will be very exciting for us. You're the ones to judge me, but I'm so happy, I couldn't be happier of my group or where we're at. People are talking positively about this team now when they weren't when I took over, and that is because of the work that they have put in.
"They've won back the fans, which is outstanding, and I can't thank the supporters enough. We're not talking about fitness or fielding, I wanted us to talk about the cricket. So although we've missed out today, I don't think we should be disheartened. This is a very, very good Australian team who have dominated women's cricket for years and we're not too far away."
Image source, Getty ImagesEngland coach Charlotte Edwards to BBC Test Match Special: "Gutted, really. We came here with so much belief and confidence to pull off something really special and I think we gave ourselves a really good shout, it didn't look easy to bat on.
"But they are a very, very good team and we were completely outplayed there in the end. Just disappointed.
"The conditions weren't easy - Nat Sciver-Brunt said that and she's one of the best batters in the world, and they bowled really well with good changes of pace. We probably just didn't get that partnership going early on but Kemp and Nat were brilliant to get us up to a total.
"We didn't start as well as we'd have liked with the ball. But they put a lot of pressure on us, so credit to them. Beth Mooney stands up on the big occasion again.
"I'm really proud of the team. Where we've come from, the way we've played through this tournament - so many positives. T20 cricket is tough and we competed today but we just weren't quite good enough. Lots of positive signs for the future."
Head coach Charlotte Edwards has been speaking to BBC Test Match Special, saying she is gutted.
We'll bring you her reaction next.

Overall, Australia scored faster than any other side (9.43 runs per over), took wickets at the lowest average and best economy (Avg, 18.57 | Econ 6.41).
Thoroughly deserving winners.
Beth Mooney led the way for Australia with 64 not out from 49 balls.
Australia reached their target with 2.5 overs to spare, and she was the key.
Magnificant Mooney spearheads successful Australia chase
Australia's Annabel Sutherland on Sky Sports: "Pretty surreal. I don't have a lot for you at the moment. It's a pretty cool feeling. At Lord's - what better place to win a World Cup final?
"All throughout the tournament we've had different contributors, not relying on one person. I thought the bowlers did an exceptional job to hold them to that total and the batters played with freedom."
There wasn't a single point today when England were even 50-50 on WinViz.

Australia have now won 13 of the 15 limited-overs finals they have been a part of - a win percentage of 87%.
Six Women’s World Cups (One day + T20I) have been won by a team with a 100% win record - five of them have been Australia.
Geoff Lemon
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Seven-time winners of the T20 World Cup. They have been the dominant side.
They have seven while everyone else has three between them. No other country has won it more than once.
It is an extraordinary run of dominance in the shortest format.
Several of England's players are in tears but in that second innings, they were never in it.
It was brutal and clinical from the best team in the world.
They absolutely deserved their place in the final and played so well throughout the group stage and the semi-final, but on the biggest stage, they were barely in the contest.
Image source, BBC SportDominant, ruthless, exceptional.
Australia cruise to a seventh T20 World Cup title.
They made that chase look staggeringly easy.
Need 5 runs to win
It probably wouldn't have changed the result, but it's certainly added a little bit of spice!
Ellyse Perry's next run is booed.
