- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.4 skids through, and South Africa are in tatters! Wolvaardt was in two minds about the length, stayed back in the end to the fuller length outside off, and found a fat inside-edge into her own stumps. Huge few balls for England 76/51.2 middle stump goes for a tumble! What a response from Filer! Full, fast, shaping in, Brits plays the wrong line, drives loosely without getting to the pitch, beaten on the outside edge, very comprehensively 6/13.2 splat go the stumps! Filer is in the mood this morning! Luus tries to cover the angle into the body, but the short balls have pinned her in the crease and she's powerless to resist the nip off the seam. Middle and leg stumps out of the ground! 14/216.3 open-faced drive, sliced to backward point! Dercksen is done in by the drinks break and England break a key stand. Filer grabs well in her chest 72/316.6 Kapp drives through the line too soon! Huge wicket, looking to dominate from the outset, but she chose the wrong length! A wild waft, nowhere near the pitch, high on the blade, straight at Ecclestone at mid-off. Now the tables are turned... 72/418.1 horrible hack outside off! South Africa are in freefall! It was a fat edge, off the keeper's gloves, looping away to slip, where Knight reacted brilliantly and stooped forward to snaffle low to the ground. Wow, this innings is an ex-innings! 76/629.1 turn and bounce, popped to short leg! Test-match vibes from Ecclestone, and a very sharp take from Beaumont, who held her shape well and reacted sharply as the ball popped past her head, high to her left. That's the key wicket, and now it's a race to the bottom for South Africa 127/918.2 skids through once more, and this is utterly plumb! It's an optimistic review, but there's surely no salvation here! Looped up outside off, dipping, turning, past the inside-edge. Into the back pad, deep in the crease. Smashing middle and leg! And my word, Dean has a hat-trick! I'm not sure anyone has noticed! 76/724.5 smashes the stumps this time! Mlaba retreated to leg again, Filer followed with the attempted yorker, and the ricochet does the business. South Africa are eight-down! 102/831.3 Ecclestone is through them! Skids through on the good length, pings back the leg stump. England have made very short work of South Africa! 135/10Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL135 all out (31.3 Overs, RR: 4.28)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Tazmin Brits, 1.2 ov), 2-14 (Sune Luus, 3.2 ov), 3-72 (Annerie Dercksen, 16.3 ov), 4-72 (Marizanne Kapp, 16.6 ov), 5-76 (Laura Wolvaardt, 17.4 ov), 6-76 (Nadine de Klerk, 18.1 ov), 7-76 (Sinalo Jafta, 18.2 ov), 8-102 (Nonkululeko Mlaba, 24.5 ov), 9-127 (Chloe Tryon, 29.1 ov), 10-135 (Ayanda Hlubi, 31.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 short, down the leg-side, this time Beaumont is gone! She swings through the pull, trying not to be cowed by the aggression, but it's a scuff off the gloves through to the keeper who grabs with a stoop to her left. Wickets are South Africa's only route back here... 80/211.6 short, clawed to midwicket! A better bouncer this time, Bouchier can't get on top of it, shoulder-height on impact, and high on the bat. Loops to Brits and South Africa have their opening 69/116.3 huge appeal for lbw! This looks mighty close to the naked eye! Not out is the call, was there an inside-edge? Doesn't look like it... nope, massive gap as it nipped back off the seam. Smashing middle and leg! Well now, suddenly there's life in this contest! 82/323.3 plumb! Back of a length, shaping back into NSB, whose loose flick across the line finds thin air. Possibly a bit more lax than she'd have been in a more competitive situation, but every little counts for South Africa 129/4Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL137/4 (24 Overs, RR: 5.7)Fall of wickets: 1-69 (Maia Bouchier, 11.6 ov), 2-80 (Tammy Beaumont, 15.6 ov), 3-82 (Heather Knight, 16.3 ov), 4-129 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 23.3 ov)
