7.49pm So, England win by five wickets with a hefty 107 balls to spare. Handshakes all round, not least for the new girl Emma Lamb, who has filled a clear vacancy at the top of the order. Nat Sciver was exceptional with bat and ball, and Katherine Brunt was at times unplayable with the new ball in particular as she signalled there's life in her white-ball career yet! For South Africa, it was all about Chloe Tryon. Her brilliant 88 from 73 balls at least gave England something to hunt down.

de Klerk to Knight, SIX, a stride to the pitch and launched over the ropes! High and mighty, straight as an arrow. England are all but there

Kim: "Great batting Lamb 100. England batting was very positive and energetic, they kept the score board rolling. SA seemed afraid to play their shots and looked lazy poor running between the sticks and when fielding. A good thrashing well played England."
