Nonkululeko Mlaba to Heather Knight, out Caught by Laura Wolvaardt!! Double strike from Nonkululeko Mlaba. How important will this be?

Nat Sciver-Brunt went for the slogsweep but it did not have enough pace, taking the top-edge and settling the big mitts of Brits at deep square.

Nadine de Klerk to Nat Sciver-Brunt, FOUR, belted! Slower ball gives enough time on the back foot to makes room and spank it in the gap through mid-wicket

Nadine de Klerk to Nat Sciver-Brunt, SIX, massive! Right off the screws. England skipper on fire. Goes deep in her crease and deposits the full ball for a 85-metre maximum with a well-timed slogsweep. Also brings up the highest partnership in a T20 WC semi final.

Ayabonga Khaka to Heather Knight, FOUR, too full outside off and Knight lofts it beautifully as she goes inside-out over extra cover. The fielder in the deep dives, but to no avail

What a knock to play after England were 23/3!

Shabnim Ismail to Alice Capsey, out Lbw!! This one is plumb. South Africa are jumping in joy as they see the back of Capsey. The booming cross-seam inswinger that moves in to strike Capsey plumb in front of middle and off. She was caught hopping on the back foot and umpire Jacqueline Williams had no hesitation in giving it out. Capsey walks up to her skipper regarding the review and she has been asked to continue her march towards the dressing room. Oh hang on! There is an inside-edge. UltraEdge shows a clear spike and would have been overturned had she reviewed it. Alice Capsey lbw b Shabnim Ismail 1(4)

Shabnim Ismail to Nat Sciver-Brunt, leg byes, 1 run, swinging in from a good length, beats Nat Sciver-Brunt on the flick and pings her on the front pad in front of leg stump. It was not even close considering the line and not sure what prompted the review...

Marizanne Kapp to Danni Wyatt-Hodge, out Bowled!! Knocked over. Marizanne Kapp you absolute superstar. She stares at the stumps after dismantling them.

Not the best of deliveries from Ismail, but they will take that. Amy Jones c Annerie Dercksen b Shabnim Ismail 2(4)
