Kapp's main weapon with her bowling is her outswing, but when she combines that away movement in the air with movement back into the right-hander off the pitch, her bowling average falls to 22.

An excellent review from South Africa and Marizanne Kapp. They have given England a little bit of a scare here.
It's really well bowled from Kapp. She has done that to Knight a few times this year, knowing it is a weakness of Knight's early in her innings.
Target 136
Danni Wyatt-Hodge is the new batter, and blocks out the final three balls of Marizanne Kapp's over.
Knight lbw b Kapp 7 (Eng 82-3)
The England captain has to go.
It's a brilliant review, hitting the top of leg stump. There will be some nerves flying around the England dugout now.
Eng 82-2
South Africa think they might have trapped Heather Knight lbw...
It's a big nip-backer from Marizanne Kapp.

Tammy Beaumont will be disappointed to lose the opportunity of spending a large amount of time at the wicket. She was gaining a large amount of fluency out there and will be frustrated.
Beaumont has put in England in a very good position; it would be spectacular if South Africa win this.
Beaumont c Jafta b Dercksen 34 (Eng 80-2)
Tammy Beaumont gloves a short ball down the leg side to the keeper, and she has to drag herself from the middle.
England still need 56 more to win, as Nat Sciver-Brunt joins her captain at the crease.
Target 136
A quiet period in the game, as Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont knock singles around.
Target 136
Four singles from the 14th over, as England continue to chip away at this target.

Despite that wicket, it was a brilliant powerplay with the bat for England. It's the third time in 2024 they have successfully negotiated the first phase of the innings without losing a wicket.

Maia Bouchier managed to just club it towards midwicket, which she has been threatening to do all day.
From England's point of view it doesn't cause that much damage but Bouchier will be disappointed to not finish the job.
Bouchier c Brits b Dercksen 33 (Eng 69-1)
Bouchier looks to swing Dercksen away over the leg side again, but plinks it straight to Tazmin Brits, who takes a simple catch.
Heather Knight is in at three.
Target 136
The runs continue to flow for England.
Maia Bouchier flicks Annerie Dercksen to fine-leg for four before launching four more through midwicket.
Target 136
South Africa turn to the left-arm spin of Nonkululeko Mlaba, but England's openers are content to knock her around for four singles.
A man with a big hammer comes out at the end of the over to try flatten out some footmarks - what a sport.

England have spoken about being ruthless as a side and this is an opportunity for them to do that; they are completely in control of this run chase.
Tammy Beaumont is looking determined at the moment. This is an important match for her to get some momentum in her batting, heading into the Ashes.
Target 136
A brilliant over for England.
A boundary apiece from Bouchier and Beaumont - 13 from it in total.
They're in a hurry in Durban.
Target 136
A single ends the ninth over.
Tammy Beaumont has 19, Maia Bouchier 17 and England are cruising.
Target 136
Glorious from Tammy Beaumont, who sends the ball to the point boundary with a flick of her wrists.
Target 136
Nadine de Klerk strays down the leg side and it goes through wicketkeeper Sinalo Jafta for five wides.
England need under 100 now.

BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
Maia Bouchier is flirting with danger today, she is hitting very aerial shots into the off-side at the moment.
England don't have a huge job ahead of them but they are riding their luck.
