- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.4 and that superb start for Jones is over! Back of a length, Jones trying to send this straight down the ground but it comes from high on the bat and loops comfortably to mid-off 25/14.1 low full toss, straight to point! Strikes first ball. Outside off, Wyatt goes for the drive and ends up just slicing a low catch, reaching quite a long way for it. Off the toe end almost. Back-to-back blows by South Africa 26/218.1 well bowled! A terrific slower ball ends a terrific innings. Rolls her fingers over it, defeats Sciver as she gives herself some room to drive 109/68.2 taken at long-on! Excellent running catch, Ismail makes a lot of ground. To start with it looked like Knight had connected quite well with this straight down the ground after using her feet, but didn't get the distance or placement 43/314.4 finds long-on! The pressure tells in the end. This was a much simpler catch for Ismail, she barely had to move this time, as Wilson came down the pitch but couldn't get the required power 72/417.4 taken at third man! Ismail responds with a short ball, Brunt slices it in the air and it comfortably carries towards the fence 104/519.3 swinging across the line, given lbw...back of a length, straight, aiming leg side again. Beaumont calls the review. Struck her quite high on the back leg, but she is down on the back knee. And it's three reds 119/818.6 straight to short fine leg, sharp grab from Tryon! Winfield tries to follow the scooping route, connected quite nicely and may feel a touch unlucky 115/7Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL123/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.15)Did not bat: S GlennFall of wickets: 1-25 (Amy Jones, 3.4 ov), 2-26 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 4.1 ov), 3-43 (Heather Knight, 8.2 ov), 4-72 (Fran Wilson, 14.4 ov), 5-104 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 17.4 ov), 6-109 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 18.1 ov), 7-115 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 18.6 ov), 8-119 (Tammy Beaumont, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 good length, moving in on off stump, and she chips it straight to Lauren Winfield at mid-on! That's the early breakthrough for England 6/116.1 outside off, attempted cut but slapped away to Tammy Beaumont at point! 90/315.3 finally, a breakthrough for England! A bit of drift, a bit of lift and she chips it back to Sarah Glenn for a strong return catch 90/218.6 how's that for a reply from Ecclestone? A quicker ball, it skids through and clatters into the stumps! 115/4Extras8 (b 4, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL124/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.3)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Lizelle Lee, 2.3 ov), 2-90 (Marizanne Kapp, 15.3 ov), 3-90 (Dane van Niekerk, 16.1 ov), 4-115 (Chloe Tryon, 18.6 ov)
