    22.5 skids into the pad, and up goes the finger! Wolvaardt will review in the hope that this was sliding past leg stump. Up above the eyeline, drifting in from around the wicket. Just a hint of turn as it went past the inside edge and hit below the knee roll. Just needs to be clipping leg stump, and it is! 107/3
    9.5 crashed straight to mid-on! There's the breakthrough, and it comes immediately after Goodall's best stroke of a sketchy innings. She stepped into the length, looking to launch it, but Beaumont clung on well in front of her face 50/1
    21.1 arm ball, lobbed harmlessly to short cover! Knight sticks with Capsey despite an expensive over, and it pays off immediately. Wide outside off, shaping away, spooned up into the off side straight to the captain. Bosch falls after an innings that was a bit of a struggle 97/2
    27.5 full outside off, tip-and-run into the covers... This could be tight! In fact, it's not even tight: de Klerk is miles short of her crease, even diving at full stretch! Kapp has sold her partner short. Nudged straight to Bouchier at short cover whose throw was well collected by Jones in front of the stumps. She had time to swivel around and whip the bails off with de Klerk airborne, and South Africa have lost a fourth 135/4
    38.4 Kapp holes out to long-on! That's a huge moment in this match. Capsey has taken some tap but she's bagged two big wickets. Tossed up to tempt the big stroke, she dragged her stroke a touch and Ecclestone pocketed the offering 198/6

    31.6 right back on the stumps, and up goes the finger! Dercksen reviews but her body language was already walking back to the pavilion. Only height can save her. Clipping the bails! Had she looked more confident pre-review, might she have survived? 156/5
    39.6 beaten outside off, and stumped by a distance! Huge double-whammy for England, Tryon galloped down the pitch, aimed an ambitious heave across the line, and couldn't regain her footing! Jones gathered cleanly and South Africa have lost both big guns in the space of two overs 200/7

    42.3 width outside off, spooned up to mid-off! South Africa were going nowhere and Klaas felt the need to free her arms after seeing this one looped up above the eyeline. But her connection is poor, with no power, and it's a straightforward catch for Sciver-Brunt tumbling forwards 201/8

    0.3 picks out short midwicket! Kapp strikes, sharp chance and well held by de Klerk. Kapp drops short again, and the ball skids through lower than Bouchier anticipated. She latches onto another pull and times it well, but it's in front of square this time and flies straight to de Klerk at an ideal height 4/1

    0.5 wideish outswinger, slapped straight to point! Kapp has two in the first over! Back of a length, starting outside off stump and swinging further away. NSB looks to slice it away with an open face, but picks out Bosch at backward point who holds onto a simple chance! 4/2
    4.1 absolute doom-seed which pings the top of off! Knight is ticking, gesturing furiously towards some movement behind the bowler's arm, but she didn't pull out of the shot. It's a beauty from Kapp: pitching outside off stump on a good length, nipping back off the seam to beat the inside edge, and crashing into off stump 25/3

    8.3 she's gone this time! Stoops into the paddle-sweep but can't make contact. She does review though, so was there a tickle? Nope, it's pad all the way… pitched in line, impact inline, hitting. Toast 63/4
