4:26pm A mere 106 needed for Australia to go 1-0 up and 6-2 up in the multi-format series. This has been a clinical outing from Australia. South Africa never found answers to what the fast bowlers threw at them. Until Kapp walked in. She showed intent to score, found the boundaries regularly. Rotated the strike well to never quite let the bowlers bowl one line and one length to her. But just as she reached fifty, she took a blow to her left elbow which was a major setback for the tourists. How will South Africa go with the defence? We'll find out shortly with Gnasher on the hot-seat

King to Khaka, OUT, Catching practice to midwicket. South Africa have been bowled out for 105 with Kapp not fit to bat. Khaka goes back to the shortish ball to heave it across but finds Wareham to perfection.

King to Klaas, no run, Huge appeal for lbw, given! And Klaas goes up for the review. Oh my, looks like a thick outside edge! She went back to defend the length ball that landed on middle, but ended up getting it to slip, where Mooney dived low to her right

The news is that Marizanne Kapp is going for scans for the blow on her left elbow

King to de Klerk, OUT, As plumb as it gets! Or is it? De Klerk opts for the review straightaway. Tossed up on middle and leg, very full and dips on the batter after drifting in. She looks to sweep it away but takes her eye off the ball, and it goes under the bat and hits her low on the front pad. Three reds and de Klerk walks back with a review

Garth to Mlaba, 1 bye, Misses everything! Length ball around middle, nips away ever so slightly. Mlaba goes back to defend but is done in by the away movement. Passes just over the bails and deflects away off Healy's gloves

Rio: "So are SA effectively 7 down or Kapp is likely to return later?" She has retired hurt and not retired out, so she still can come back on
