    0.6 Pokes at it and Jafta does not miss this time. Kapp lands it on a length just outside off, Dunkley has a tickle at it and this time Jafta makes no mistake. Early strike for South Africa and Dunkley falls cheaply. She poked at it away from the body and that proved to be her undoing 6/1

    6.1 Castled! And Beaumont is out of here. Kapp slips it on a fuller length around off, it straightens after landing. Beaumont is down the track to whip it away but is beaten on the inside and sees her woodwork being in a mess. She can't make the early life count 29/2
    25.1 Almost chopped on. Tossed up full around off, she reaches out to paddle it away fine. And South Africa don't really appeal much but opt for the review for lbw. Looks like the impact is outside off, and that Knight got a bit of glove on her attempt. Ultra-Edge rules the edge out and Hawk-Eye returns three reds! What a review that, South Africa rejoice. No real appeal there but massive wicket for South Africa 106/7
    6.4 That is as plumb as they get! Kapp and South Africa on fire and it is the big fish, Sciver Brunt, who reluctantly takes the review. Kapp lands it on a length again, and unlike the last few deliveries, does not get it to move away. It goes straight on after landing. Sciver-Brunt is on her back foot and looks to work it away through the on side but is beaten and hit on her back leg. She perhaps knows she is a goner and starts walking before looking at her partner, who urges her to review. Three reds on the Ball-Tracker and England lose Sciver-Brunt as well as a review 29/3
    10.1 Pinned on the front pad, huge appeal and given! Wyatt-Hodge waits for a long time and then reviews. De Klerk bowls it on a length around off and gets it to go on straight with the angle. Wyatt-Hodge looks to defend but is beaten on the inside and is hit high on the front pad. Is the angle taking it down leg? Nope, three reds again and England lose both their reviews. Massive wicket considering Wyatt-Hodge's form and how good she looked in the time she was in the middle today 50/4
    16.3 drops short... and Jones picks out deep backward square leg! Good catch from Tryon in the deep, diving forwards, but that's not a great shot in the circumstances... looks to pull but with no real timing or power, and picks out the fielder. Dercksen strikes with her third ball, and England are five down in the 17th over. 77/5
    21.1 trapped stone-dead on the sweep! England have burned both of their reviews, but this one looked plumb regardless. Tossed up above the eyeline, smashed on the shin, and Capsey has to walk off. Mlaba strikes, and South Africa are into the bowlers. Ball-tracking's projection was for this to smash into the top of middle stump 91/6

    35.5 Superb catch, flying de Klerk puts an end to England's rearguard. It was a nothing ball really - short and wide outside off, not much pace on. Ecclestone looks to hop and cut it over but is done in by the lack of pace on that. She is a tad early into the shot and hits it towards backward point rather than away from her. De Klerk times her jump well to end the 67-run stand 173/8
    37.5 knocks back leg stump! Banged in halfway down, keeps much lower than Filer anticipated, and skids into leg stump two-thirds of the way up, under the attempted drag leg-side. Variable bounce works in Dercksen's favour, and England are nine down 185/9
    38.4 catastrophic mix-up! Oh dear. Fullish on the pads, nudged to square leg. Dean set off immediately for the run, but Bell was hesistant in response to the call. It would have been a tightish single in any case, but she finds herself stranded mid-pitch as the throw comes into the bowler's end from Hlubi. Luus does well, gathering on the half-volley and whipping the bails off 186/10

    2.1 Pinned on the pad, huge appeal and given! Brits seeks support for the review and gets Wolvaardt's nod. The up-and-down bounce on the surface coming into play there. Bell angles it in on a length on middle, Brits looks to get down on a knee and swipe it across. But the ball does not climb much and she is hit on her front leg. Oh wait, hang on, Brits is already walking off because DRS is down! So unfortunate for South Africa this, seemed to be sliding down leg in real time 19/1

    10.5 pinned in front, up goes the finger! Luus reviews immediately. Was there an inside edge? Offbreak on a good length, very straight. She was across her stumps, looking to work leg-side, and was struck on the bottom of the thigh pad. Bit of a delay as UltraEdge is built... there's a disturbance, but Kerrin Klaaste says there's a clear gap between bat and ball as the spike goes up. And Ball-tracking is down, so the standing umpire has to stay with her original decision! Luus isn't best pleased, understandably so, but she has no choice but to trudge off 46/2
    24.3 Well-judged catch by Beaumont and Filer breaks through. For starters, Dercksen seemed to have hit that all right. Or at least I thought so. But it is a well-set plan that has worked for England. Filer digs it short and angles it in, Dercksen takes on the pull shot and finds deep square leg to perfection. Beaumont had here eyes on the ball, back-tracked a bit to settle herself near the rope and pouched it safely. Is this the opening England needed and can capitalise on? 105/3
    31.5 skids through, knocks Kapp over! Back of a length, a little cutter, and it slides underneath Kapp's attempted leg-side heave and takes out off stump. Is that the moment the game turns? 136/4
