- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.1 Cleans her up! Dewmi does it again, removes Wolvaardt this time. Big, big wicket. This one is on full length and pitched just outside off, but spins in a bit and drifts in to beat Wolvaardt's inside edge and takes the top of middle stump. Beauty from Dewmi! 72/213.4 Outside edge and gone! This one is floated up outside off stump, Brits leans forward to push this forward but is beaten by the flight and it comes off her edge to first slip. Hasini Perera dives in front and takes a superb low catch. Replays suggest the fingers were under the ball, so Sri Lanka have their first wicket 68/119.1 Vihanga is loving life! And it's another good take at first slip. This one was tossed up on middle and off, some drift and dip. Goodall looks to drive this but it dips just before the bat and turns to take the edge. First slip snaffles it up 85/417.3 Finds midwicket! Vihanga is having a day! Gives this one a bit of air on the stumps, as Smit looks to slog sweep this over midwicket. Doesn't find the elevation though an it's straight to the fielder who takes it well at head height 82/328.6 The skipper breaks a threatening stand! She had a close lbw call turned down in the last over, but this time the finger goes up. Pitches on off and turns into the front pad, striking in front of middle. Shangase however had come quite forward, and the question could be asked if this was doing too much. But the umpire thinks it would be clipping leg 127/619.3 Vihanga has a maiden five-for! And South Africa are in all sorts of bother. Shocking batting by Jafta though, must be said. Vihanga doesn't do much other than the basics, as she lands this on a good length just outside off. Jafta though has charged down the track and played all around this. The stumps are rattled 85/543.4 Dercksen departs! This time Samarawickrama doesn't make any mistake. Full length ball around off stump, Dercksen throws her bat at it, looking to go big towards off side but doesn't have enough power on it. Ends up holing out to long off. Manudi finally breaks the big stand 239/748.4 Entertaining innings of Tryon comes to an end! Athapaththu slowed down her pace, and floats this up on off. Tryon charges down and completely misses it, deceived by the flight maybe, and the keeper is quick to dislodge the bails 305/849.5 worked towards long off for quick singles. De Klerk wanted the strike back but there wasn't an extra run there. Naidu is well short of her crease as Sugandika fumbles a bit after the throw from long-off but takes the bails off in time 314/9Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL315/9 (50 Overs, RR: 6.3)Fall of wickets: 1-68 (Tazmin Brits, 13.4 ov), 2-72 (Laura Wolvaardt, 15.1 ov), 3-82 (Miane Smit, 17.3 ov), 4-85 (Lara Goodall, 19.1 ov), 5-85 (Sinalo Jafta, 19.3 ov), 6-127 (Nondumiso Shangase, 28.6 ov), 7-239 (Annerie Dercksen, 43.4 ov), 8-305 (Chloe Tryon, 48.4 ov), 9-314 (Seshnie Naidu, 49.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.2 And Tryon strikes right away! This one was tossed up from over the wicket, wide of off, and induces Perera into a loose drive. She looks to go over the top, but the height just isn't there. Finds the grateful hands of Dercksen at cover 52/113.2 Tryon has a second! And it's the other opener! This was slightly short of a good length, and Vishmi looks to make some room and carve it over point. Just doesn't get the connection though, and ends up slicing it straight to backward point 68/225.1 Naidu gets her maiden wicket! This was tossed up just outside off stump, Samarawickrama, wanting to go big, lofts this straight to mid off where Tryon takes an easy catch 124/329.3 Gone! Big wicket for South Africa. It's a length delivery outside off stump, Athapaththu comes down the track and slices this straight to Dercksen at deep cover. South Africa are elated. End of a brisk stand. Good captaincy from Wolvaardt as well, to bring Khaka back when Athapaththu was looking to go big 160/431.6 Cleaned her up! This was length ball outside off stump but Khaka takes the pace off, Nilakshika jabs her bat down but gets an inside edge on to the stumps 171/536.1 Sliced and another one falls! The pressure was building, the required rate had crept up towards nine an over, and Manudi looks to make a move. This one was tossed up outside off and she goes for the big one over mid-off. But ends up slicing it high towards cover as Goodall completes the catch 191/641.1 Outstanding from De Klerk! This was full on the stumps and Vihanga looks to pick this up over square leg. Gets more height than distance, and it looked like this too was going to fall safe. But De Klerk has other ideas, who races in from deep backward square leg and throws herself forward at full stretch to hold on to a fantastic catch. Is that the game? 227/741.2 Is this another? I think so! Kumari has slashed this fuller one first ball, straight to backward point. Bit of confusion initially about whether this was a bump ball, but the umpires swiftly sent Kumari on her way 227/841.3 And she's done it! Deadly with both bat and ball! This is stellar stuff from the South African spinner. Good length outside off, and Malki Madara has got a faint nick through to the keeper, who holds on well. And it's a five-for to boot! What a day for Tryon 227/942.5 And is that the game?! Looks like! A chaotic end to this innings, as Sanjeewani gets an inside edge into the pads, looking to heave this away. Sanjeewani wants the run to keep the strike for the start of the next over, but there's a bit of yes-no-yes hesitation, and by the time Fernando decides to come along for the single the keeper has had ample time to pick up the ball and break the stumps.
