- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.3 looks for a pull to this short ball but it's slower-ball offcutter. Goes through with the shot early and as a result finds the toe-end of the bat. The ball lobs in the air for short third man to take a comfortable catch 59/147.2 goes for a paddle sweep for the umpteenth time and this time she picks out short fine leg. It's a length ball, and unlike on previous occasions, fails to get the desired elevation. What a knock, walks off to a similarly warm applause as Taylor 343/446.2 in the air and gone. Comes down the track and takes this ball, angled in to her, on the full. Tries to loft it over the in-field on the off side but picks out extra cover. Offers her a simple catch. What an innings this has been! South Africa's players walk over to her and offer their congratulations. Gets a well-deserved standing ovation from the crowd and the England dressing room 334/247.1 lobs a catch to point off the leading edge. Backs herself to go across the line to this fuller ball and loft it over the on side. Closes the bat face a tad early and offers a simple catch 343/347.4 high full toss, Brunt is looking to launch it pout of here but it gets big on her and she skews it back to the bowler who takes a simple return catch. Brunt is waiting for the no-ball call but the square leg umpire deems it fine. Seems close, that looked pretty high 347/5Extras23 (b 1, lb 8, w 14)TOTAL373/5 (50 Overs, RR: 7.46)Fall of wickets: 1-59 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 11.3 ov), 2-334 (Sarah Taylor, 46.2 ov), 3-343 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 47.1 ov), 4-343 (Tammy Beaumont, 47.2 ov), 5-347 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 47.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR32.3 holes out to deep midwikcet. Fullish length ball, tries to fetch a slog from outside off and does not get the distance despite making good contact 167/325.1 dipping yorker from Sciver. Full, comes on straight and dies on the batsman really late. Gets it to jag in late as well as the ball evades the Lee's bat which she jams down but can't dig it out. The ball crashes into the stumps 128/127.5 shortish, pulls it over straightish midwicket, and there is a run out here on the third run. Deep square leg runs to her left,quite a long way across, and slides across to pull it back. Midwicket, backing up hurls a throw to the bowler who gathers it without fuss and whips the bails off 142/244.3 down the track to the quickish ball on middle. Clears her front leg and whips it over the top only to find Wilson, who sprints to her left from deep midwicket and takes a superlative diving catch, with both hands 275/637.2 got her! Down the track and Hazell shortens her length. Leans back to cut, gets a bit unbalanced, falls away and slices it in the air, a simple catch to short third man 198/443.6 ah, well. She's picked out midwicket. Down the track again and this time she gets too close to the pitch of one that's fired in flat. Goes after it but gets no elevation, and the fielder takes a good, sharp waist-high catch 273/545.5 and that's her third wicket. To me, that looked like it was sliding down leg, but Paul Wilson's finger went up immediately. I suppose it's the shot Kapp played - sweeping from the stumps is an inherently risky thing to do, and she misses. Turns and hits her on the front pad 280/749.2 gone, holes out to deep midwicket. Clears her leg to slog-sweep and can only pick out the fielder on the rope 304/946.4 and another wicket. Mid-off is inside the circle, and she looks to clear her but cannot. Full outside off, too full to get the desired elevation, and Gunn, the substitute fielder, reaches overhead to pluck it out 285/8Extras25 (lb 7, w 18)TOTAL305/9 (50 Overs, RR: 6.1)Fall of wickets: 1-128 (Lizelle Lee, 25.1 ov), 2-142 (Trisha Chetty, 27.5 ov), 3-167 (Laura Wolvaardt, 32.3 ov), 4-198 (Dane van Niekerk, 37.2 ov), 5-273 (Chloe Tryon, 43.6 ov), 6-275 (Mignon du Preez, 44.3 ov), 7-280 (Marizanne Kapp, 45.5 ov), 8-285 (Shabnim Ismail, 46.4 ov), 9-304 (Sune Luus, 49.2 ov)
