9.37pm Well, that was comprehensive from England. The six-wicket win is one thing, the five overs to spare is something else. They promised "ultra-aggression" and delivered through Sophia Dunkley's maiden fifty as an England opener. Some of her top-order team-mates couldn't stay with her, but that won't bother the management. The aim was to keep going hard, and they certainly did. An honourable mention for Ayabonga Khaka, whose 3 for 13 in four overs was superb. But even they were trumped by Brunt's 4 for 15, in South Africa's under-par 111 for 9.
Valkerie's report will be up shortly, from Chelmsford, good night!
