    Zaida James looks really brilliant through that off side. That was a great shot as Nadine de Klerk was going for that yorker.

  2. WI 117-6

    Nadine de Klerk gets a yorker wrong and Zaida James pings it through the covers on the full for four.

  3. WI 113-6

    Tight stuff from Nadine de Klerk.

    Zaida James and Stafanie Taylor attempts some big shots but are only able to pick up three singles.

  4. WI 110-6

    Nadine de Klerk bowls the final over.

    Zaida James gets Stafanie Taylor on strike off the first delivery thanks to a leg bye.

  5. WI 109-6

    Chloe Tryon bowls the penultimate over.

    A huge slog sweep from Zaida James to her second delivery but she misses and the ball just skips over the top of the stumps.

    Finally, James gets Stafanie Taylor back on strike and the West Indies batter heaves Tryon for a much-needed four through mid-wicket.

    Stafanie Taylor looks absolutely exhausted, but she has to go on for two more overs.

  7. WI 103-6

    Two singles and a dot to finish Ayabonga Khaka's over.

    West Indies have 12 balls left to get themselves up to 120 odd.

  8. WI 101-6

    Ayabonga Khaka is patched up and contines.

    Her next ball is thwacked over cover on the up by the left-handed Zaida James for four. Good intent.

    Khaka responds with a slower ball which brings a fresh-air shot from the West Indies batter.

    The South African physios have had to work really hard today. After two hand injuries, now Ayabonga Khaka seems to have done something to her foot.

  10. WI 97-6

    Ayabonga Khaka returns but is down on the turf, with a problem with her ankle after just one delivery.

    Her bowling boots is off and the physio is on to take a look.

    Stafanie Taylor has gone through a few years where her strike-rate dropped quite dramatically. But she's had a good season so far, so all Zaida James needs to do here is make sure that she keeps that score ticking and give as much strike to Taylor as possible.

  12. WI 96-6

    The firecly competitive Marizanne Kapp is given the ball as Laura Wolvaardt looks to put the pressure on as West Indies enter the final phase of their innings.

    Zaida James picks up a single before Stafanie Taylor eats up three dot balls.

    Just three runs off Kapp's final over. She finishes with a miserly 2-14 from her allocation.

  13. WI 93-6

    Nonkululeko Mlaba finishes her spell with an impressive 4-29. She bagged two wickets in two balls a little earlier.

    That's a beautiful strike from Stafanie Taylor and West Indies are going to need more of that.

  15. 6 runs

    WI 93-6

    Bosh! Just what West Indies need.

    Stafanie Taylor dances down the pitch to the penultimate ball of the over and wallops Nonkululeko Mlaba for six down the ground.

    Vital runs.

    That's up there with some of the most tricky catches you can take. Tazmin Brits might have dug her finger into the ground to make sure she got under that ball and I think she's done herself some damage there.

    WICKET

    Alleyne c Brits b Mlaba 7 (WI 83-6)

    Nonkululeko Mlaba is caught by Tazmin Brits off the bowling of Aaliyah Alleyne

    Aaliyah Alleyne cuts Nonkululeko Mlaba into the hands of Tazmin Brits in the covers.

    The umpires check the catch is clean - and it is.

  18. WI 83-5

    Laura Wolvaard has not allowed West Indies' batters to settle with some smart bowling changes.

    Aaliyah Alleyne skips down the pitch to Chloe Tryon's fourth delivery but is unable to quite generate the power and has to settle for a single with a chip down to long on.

    There's a slight delay after Stafanie Taylor calls for the physio who brings on a blue towel so the West Indies batter can mop her brow, and wipe something out of her eye.

    It's about 36C in Dubai today.

  19. WI 79-5

    Nonkululeko Mlaba continues to wheel away round the wicket with Stafanie Taylor and Aaliyah Alleyne playing relatively cautiously at the moment.

    West Indies setting themselves to have a bit of thrash in the final three or four overs you sense.

    Here's how experienced West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin rather gave her wicket away a little earlier.

    Sune Luus has bowled two good overs so far. South Africa have decided not to go with Tumi Sekhukhune who is, I suppose, the successor to Shabnim Ismail. They've gone without her and Laura Wolvaardt is using the spinners really well.
