- BATSMENRB4s6sSR21.3 there comes the first breakthrough, Khaka hits the stumps. Mooney took a step down to flick it to leg, Khaka pitched it on good length, it was a straight delivery and went on to hit the off stump 114/128.5 gone off a flighted full toss, hands a catch straight to cover. What a soft dismissal for someone in good form. She danced down the track, got a generously flighted full toss outside off and tried to loft it over cover but couldn't middle it 154/323 the captain strikes now with a simple return catch. Looks like the pressure of not getting off the mark or rotating the strike got to Haynes. She came down to take the ball on the full, the ball dipped nicely after some flight on middle stump and Haynes chipped it straight back to van Niekerk 117/240.2 flighted outside off, Perry pulls this short ball straight to Kapp at midwicket. 229/529 two in two for Luus, she has bowled Villani around the legs! More and more flight, this time well outside leg, Villani went down to sweep since it was full but gets only a glove before the ball rattles into the stumps 154/442 low full toss on middle and leg, lofted straight to mid-on 235/643 on a length on off, Healy charges down and lofts it over the bowler's head. Daniels runs in from long-off and snaffles it 250/744.3 another one gone, holed out to long-off and it's a five-for for Sune Luus! It was flighted and full on the off stump and Gardner took a tiny step towards the ball before lofting it straight down to Daniels in the deep 254/848.2 a gem of a delivery from Kapp! Full, shapes it in on middle and leg, Schutt tries to play it across the line, misses and the middle and off stump belongs to Kapp. 269/948.3 nips this yorker straight into the front boot, Beams tries to flick it but misses. Kapp appeals for the lbw and it's upheld. Gone. But to me, it looked like it was drifting a little too much outside leg. That, however, matters little because Australia have been bowled out 269/10Extras13 (lb 1, nb 3, w 9)TOTAL269 all out (48.3 Overs, RR: 5.54)Fall of wickets: 1-114 (Beth Mooney, 21.3 ov), 2-117 (Rachael Haynes, 22.6 ov), 3-154 (Nicole Bolton, 28.5 ov), 4-154 (Elyse Villani, 28.6 ov), 5-229 (Ellyse Perry, 40.2 ov), 6-235 (Alex Blackwell, 41.6 ov), 7-250 (Alyssa Healy, 42.6 ov), 8-254 (Ashleigh Gardner, 44.3 ov), 9-269 (Megan Schutt, 48.2 ov), 10-269 (Kristen Beams, 48.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR32.5 bangs it in slightly on back of a length, on middle and leg, there's ample bounce on this one. Wolvaardt gets down on one knee and lofts it into the leg side. Gardner at deep midwicket gets underneath it in time and takes the catch reverse-cupped. Haynes is doing the job for her team 148/45.5 an unnecessary slog sweep results in a leading edge, easily taken by the stand-in captain at mid off. Jonassen didn't bowl a very full delivery, pulled the length back a little but Lee went for her hard bottom-handed shot and miscued it high. Haynes went to her right from cover and caught it with reverse cup 32/121.2 short outside leg, pulled away towards right of deep midwicket. Perry makes quite a distance, tumbles and stops the ball. She collects it and throws it back at the keeper who takes the bails off as Chetty falls short of her ground while coming back for the second 99/230.1 goodness me! It's a waist-high full toss on middle stump, du Preez leans back and holes out to Gardner at deep midwicket. Haynes has her sixth ODI wicket. 132/336.2 on a good length outside off, angled in, Kapp charges down and hits it straight to the cover fielder. She's slow in setting off for the run and eventually falls short of the ground despite the full-stretched dive, as Blackwell hits the stumps at the striker's end. SA have lost half their side 162/538.1 back of a length ball that sits up nicely, Luus tries to cut it, but there's barely any movement of her feet. Can't do more than edging it to Healy, the keeper 164/737.3 turns it away this time after pitching it full on off. Dane goes for the drive and ends up dragging it onto her rear pad. The ball, therefater deflects straight into the stumps as she tries to turn around. Unlucky. 164/650 it's all over with the 10th wicket on the last ball. Ismail made some room yet again and tried to clear mid off but only handed a straightforward catch to the fielder 210/1038.2 that's too quick and it has hit her right in front on the back foot. A quick offcutter from Perry on length, came in sharply and Khaka's bat came down too late 165/845.3 tries to pull a ball that's not too short and loses her off stump. It was just short of a good length, she swiveled on the back foot and the ball sneaked through 184/9Extras5 (b 1, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL210 all out (50 Overs, RR: 4.2)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Lizelle Lee, 5.5 ov), 2-99 (Trisha Chetty, 21.2 ov), 3-132 (Mignon du Preez, 30.1 ov), 4-148 (Laura Wolvaardt, 32.5 ov), 5-162 (Marizanne Kapp, 36.2 ov), 6-164 (Dane van Niekerk, 37.3 ov), 7-164 (Sune Luus, 38.1 ov), 8-165 (Ayabonga Khaka, 38.2 ov), 9-184 (Masabata Klaas, 45.3 ov), 10-210 (Shabnim Ismail, 49.6 ov)
