- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 taken! Short and wide, aiming square over the off side, picks out point. Not the best ball Brown will ever bowl, should have gone for four but Wolvaardt didn't get the placement 20/15.3 edged, taken at slip! Top catch. Kapp advanced down the pitch, went for the drive, flew off a thick edge and snaffled by Mooney at head height. That was travelling. Reward for keeping an attacking field 30/210.3 appeal for a catch down the leg side! Not given. Healy reviews in an instant. Full outside leg stump, Luus went for the sweep, has it taken the glove? There's a spike as the ball goes past the glove and it's gone 73/313.4 taken at deep midwicket! Went short of a length into the pitch, Bosch pulls and can't get the distance. Neatly taken on the run 100/417.2 full, into the pads, flicked miles into the air and Gardner settles under another one at deep midwicket 127/519.3 full outside off, driven to cover, de Klerk sets off for the run but Brits wasn't going anywhere and can't get back 144/6Extras16 (b 1, lb 5, w 10)TOTAL147/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Laura Wolvaardt, 3.5 ov), 2-30 (Marizanne Kapp, 5.3 ov), 3-73 (Sune Luus, 10.3 ov), 4-100 (Anneke Bosch, 13.4 ov), 5-127 (Chloe Tryon, 17.2 ov), 6-144 (Nadine de Klerk, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.6 brilliant catch! Superb from Luus at long on. Healy looking to go down the ground again, doesn't quite get all of it, Luus takes it very low to the ground and, just, keeps her fingers under the ball (I think, although might be worth another look) 72/117.6 cleaned up! McGrath's struggle is over. A slower ball at the stumps, McGrath giving herself some room and it clips the top of off stump 137/2Extras5 (lb 1, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL149/2 (19.1 Overs, RR: 7.77)Fall of wickets: 1-72 (Alyssa Healy, 7.6 ov), 2-137 (Tahlia McGrath, 17.6 ov)
