- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.1 That's gone! So disappointing for Priya Punia, who was looking good. Not the best ball from Shangase, tossed up and inviting the flick but Punia top-edges and Shangase at short fine leg takes a well-judged catch. She had to time her jump and managed to grab the ball with both hands and that will take us to the first drinks break 61/25 edged and taken superbly by Lee at slip! Ismail's 150th international wicket. This is a length ball that skids through, Mandhana sees a hint of room and looks to punch on the up but is tad late on the stroke - beaten by that skid I mentioned - and gets a thick edge that Lee gobbles up. Big wicket lost for India. 17/137.1 Full and swinging in, Mithali goes for it, drives in the air and find Shabnim Ismail, who takes a good running catch to bring the Indian captain's to an end. Mithali was dropped the over before but it hasn't been too costly for South Africa 164/348 got her! The slower ball has done the trick. Harman looking to back away and go inside-out over cover, went into the stroke too early and misses. Superb knock from India's vice-captain though 252/4Extras13 (lb 1, w 12)TOTAL266/4 (50 Overs, RR: 5.32)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Smriti Mandhana, 4.6 ov), 2-61 (Priya Punia, 15.1 ov), 3-164 (Mithali Raj, 37.1 ov), 4-252 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 47.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR23 Finally! India get their woman. Pitches just outside off and goes straight on. Lee gets down to flick through the leg side, she's got a big stride in but misses the shot and is hit on the front pad. That would have gone on to hit the offstump. She has to go after an entertaining knock - her second half-century of the series to follow-on from her match-winning hundred and she has set South Africa up perfectly. 116/128.4 She's got Wolvaardt. Full again, outside off, Wolvaardt is one the front foot to drive but wafts at it. Gets the outside edge and it's a simple take behind. Joshi was brought back for this over and she's made a crucial breakthrough. 133/244.2 Is there a twist in this tale? Mignon takes one step forward and looks to loft this over mid-on but doesn't get hold of it as well as she thought she did. The ball hit the outside half of the bat and goes high up, giving Harmanpreet time to position herself and take the catch comfortably. 236/3Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL269/3 (48.4 Overs, RR: 5.52)Fall of wickets: 1-116 (Lizelle Lee, 22.6 ov), 2-133 (Laura Wolvaardt, 28.4 ov), 3-236 (Mignon du Preez, 44.2 ov)
