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 Amy Jones, out Caught by Annerie Dercksen!! She strikes first ball. What.A.Moment. 114ks short and wide of off stump, Amy Jones would have smashed it anywhere she would have liked, and she sliced the flat-feeted cut straight into the safe hands of Dercksen at point. Not the best of deliveries from Ismail, but they will take that. Amy Jones c Annerie Dercksen b Shabnim Ismail 2(4)
