  1. SA 156-3

    Close!

    Marizanne Kapp goes to sweep Charlie Dean, the ball loops up off the glove but over the head of Amy Jones behind the stumps and the wicketkeeper can't quite get to it.

    Just three from the over.

  2. SA 153-3

    Steady over again from Linsey Smith with South Africa having to settle for four singles from it.

    Marizanne Kapp and Laura Wolvaardt are going well, though. The partnership is already up to 34 from 33 balls.

    Amy Jones has been outstanding so far. It's not often commented on, because we just expect it. Phenomenal hands & balance.

  4. SA 149-3

    Charlie Dean gets away with another poor ball that Laura Wolvaardt sweeps over short fine leg.

    It takes a superb diving stop from Tammy Beaumont in the deep to prevent the boundary.

    Beaumont is interested a couple of balls later, too, as Marizanne Kapp top-edges a sweep but it bounces well short of her in the end.

    England have gifted a few since Marizanne Kapp has come to the middle. They have bowled too full.

    They need to not let this partnership run away from them because it will settle before they know it.

  6. SA 145-3

    Loose from Charlie Dean.

    Full, floaty and driven crisply through extra cover for four by a grateful Laura Wolvaardt.

    Marizanne Kapp is a very emotional player and she wears her heart on her sleeve. You could see that in the anthem this morning, she fully invests herself.

  8. SA 141-3

    Wolvaardt 72, Kapp 16

    Linsey Smith quickly brings back some control for England with just a single from the spinner's seventh over.

    Another bowling change for England with Charlie Dean coming back into the attack.

    These wickets have shifted momentum into the way of England.

    But these two batters will have a determination about them - they have faced World Cup semi-final heartbreak before.

  10. How's stat?!

    Marizanne Kapp averages just 21 against England in her ODI career - that's the lowest total against any of the eight sides to participate in this tournament.

  11. SA 128-3

    Nat Sciver-Brunt decides to mix things up, taking Sophie Ecclestone off after a successful six-over spell.

    She sticks with left-arm spin, albeit a very different profile, as Linsey Smith returns.

    Good return from Smith. Just three singles from the over.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt's bowling has taken a lot of criticism recently but she has bowled superbly this tournament.

  13. SA 125-3

    Just the start that Marizanne Kapp would have wanted.

    A half-volley from Nat Sciver-Brunt and the new batter drills it through the covers for four.

    Despite that, England have a spring in their step after those three quick wickets. South Africa do bat deep, though, so still work for the bowling side to do.

    This partnership of Marizanne Kapp and Laura Wolvaardt is crucial now.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt of EnglandGetty Images

    A cross-seam delivery from Nat Sciver-Brunt and Suné Luus' eyes lit up thinking she could pull it. It was half-hearted, she was not sure what to do at all.

    England all of a sudden have changed the course of the game.

    WICKET

    Luus b Sciver-Brunt 1 (SA 119-3)

    Sciver-Brunt bowls Luus for one as inside edge deflects onto the stumps

    Bowled her!

    Off stump is uprooted again and England are flying now as Sune Luus drags the ball onto her stumps.

    An unconvincing shot, trying to pull a ball from Nat Sciver-Brunt that didn't look short enough.

    The ball comes off the bottom corner of the bat and crashes into the timbers.

    South Africa, cruising just a few minutes ago, are suddenly wobbling.

  17. Ffion Wynne

    England have an opportunity to take the game away now. How ruthless do they want to be?

  18. How's stat?!

    Charlie Dean has a fantastic head-to-head record against Suné Luus:

    • 4 innings
    • 36 balls
    • 19 runs
    • 3 wickets

  19. Thanks, Elizabeth.

    Those two wickets have given this innings a very different feel. The wicket of Laura Wolvaardt holds the key to which way it goes from here, it seems.

  20. SA 119-2

    Wolvaardt 67, Luus 1

    A maiden for Sophie Ecclestone. She's turning the screw.

    Halfway through the innings and South Africa are 119-2.

    Over to you, Sam Drury.
