- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 chipped up and taken! Hlubi breaks through early! Full and angling into the stumps. Bouchier looks to work to leg but the ball seems to stop in the surface a touch. Bouchier is early into the stroke and pops it towards Brits at mid wicket. She slides forward and picks it up inches off the turf! 15/112.2 de Klerk flummoxes Wyatt-Hodge, and South Africa have the breakthrough they were after! Right up in the blockhole on middle stump. Wyatt-Hodge backs away, trying to squeeze it behind point. Gets bat on it but only manages to deflect it onto off stump. Wyatt-Hodge cannot believe what she has done, but she walks off to a warm applause from her teammates! 127/31.5 Hlubi has two in the over, and England have been rocked again! Hard length, pitching just outside off and nipping back in slightly. Dunkley dangles her bat tentatively and the ball kisses the inside edge before going on to flatten leg stump. Dunkley is disappointed; England in an early spot of bother! 15/218.1 chipped straight back to de Klerk, and Knight's fun is over! Hard length, angling into the body. Knight, despite backing away, cannot generate the room she wants and ends up clothing it tamely to de Klerk, who grabs it on her follow-through. T20I wicket no.50 for de Klerk, and this could help SA contain England to a score of under 200! 181/4Extras9 (lb 1, w 8)TOTAL204/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.2)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Maia Bouchier, 1.3 ov), 2-15 (Sophia Dunkley, 1.5 ov), 3-127 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 12.2 ov), 4-181 (Heather Knight, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 Dean gets the big fish, and that is a huge moment in the game! This is slightly slower and a touch shorter outside off, making Wolvaardt drive on the up. She tries to do so but ends up slicing it towards short third. Filer judges it well and completes the catch with a dive to her right. Wolvaardt walks back dejected, and the South African dugout does not look very confident now either! 66/30.5 surely this will be taken?! Yes, it is! Brits has to depart for a two-ball duck! Banged in short outside off, daring Brits to take on the pull. She accepts the challenge but comes up second-best, by quite some distance. The ball gets too big on her and she splices it straight down Dean's throat at mid wicket! 1/17.4 timmmmmbbbberrrrrr, and Tunnicliffe's troubled stay at the crease comes to an end! This is slower and hung up on a length on off. Tunnicliffe looks for the big slog but is beaten in the air. Nowhere to the pitch of the ball, and it squirms past her flailing blade before crashing into off stump! 43/211.4 beautifully bowled, and Dercksen bites the dust! Dangles the carrot on a full length on leg stump. Dercksen bites and looks to slog it over cow corner. Loses her shape completely and more importantly, loses track of the ball. Sneaks past her swinging blade and thunders into leg stump. England keep chipping away! 86/417.2 wicket no.4 for Sarah Glenn tonight! Tossed up again and the key this time is that Glenn holds the length back. Tryon would have been better-served going straight but she tries to drag it across the line. Misses it altogether and the ball crashes into the stumps! 129/611.5 two in two for Glenn, and she strikes timber again! Fizzed through full on off. Seems like the slider because this skids on after pitching. Shangase plays across the line and pays the price. Misses it completely and hears the death rattle soon after! 86/5Extras18 (b 5, nb 1, w 12)TOTAL168/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Tazmin Brits, 0.5 ov), 2-43 (Faye Tunnicliffe, 7.4 ov), 3-66 (Laura Wolvaardt, 9.3 ov), 4-86 (Annerie Dercksen, 11.4 ov), 5-86 (Nondumiso Shangase, 11.5 ov), 6-129 (Chloe Tryon, 17.2 ov)
