A reminder of some news from India, where England captain Heather Knight and bowlers Lauren Bell and Sarah Glenn were among the players to miss out in Sunday's Women's Premier League auction.

Batters Maia Boucher, Sophia Dunkley and Paige Scholfield also went unsold in the auction for the India-based competition, as did fast bowler Lauren Filer and big-hitting South African Lizelle Lee.

However, all-rounder Danielle Gibson was bought by Gujarat Giants for about £28,000.

Gujarat were the most active team in the draft, making the two biggest purchases.

They bought uncapped Indian all-rounder Simran Shaikh for £178,000, alongside West Indies' Deandra Dottin for £158,000.

Mumbai Indians signed 16-year-old all-rounder G Kamalini for £158,000, while spinner Prema Rawat was signed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (£118,000).

England quintet Alice Capsey (Delhi Capitals), Nat Sciver-Brunt (Mumbai Indians), Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Kate Cross (both RCB) and Sophie Ecclestone (UP Warriorz) were retained last month.

The 2025 WPL begins on 21 February, with the final on 16 March.

No big shots from Sophie Ecclestone but she helps a leg-side delivery from Sune Luus down towards fine leg for three.

Ryana MacDonald-Gay looks a tad more confident as the over progresses, playing a couple of decent drives, but can't beat the in-field and the wait for her first Test run goes on.

The Statman Cometh: Ryana MacDonald-Gay is the youngest women's Test match debutant for England in SA. There have been two younger debutants in the men's game - Ian Peebles in 1927 and Jack Crawford in 1906 (both were about a month away from their 20th birthday).

There will be some nerves for Ryana MacDonald-Gay as she hasn't played as much international cricket in all formats, so Sophie Ecclestone will have to step up and take some leadership here.

Ryana MacDonald-Gay, on debut, is next in and plays and misses at a turning ball from Nonkululeko Mlaba first up.

A more solid block follows and that is the over bowled.

Time for Sophie Ecclestone to start playing a few shots?

Nonkululeko Mlaba has bowled a lot fuller after tea. She's made the batters play 71% off the front foot this session compared to 50% in the second session.

Amy Jones didn't really get going and normally scores highly at mid-off. Marizanne Kapp shows her importance, keeping calm under the high ball and tracking backwards.

England's elongated tail is in danger of being exposed in these last overs.

Sune Luus rattles through another over and it's a maiden.

Amy Jones does thump a couple of drives back nicely but can't get the ball past the fielder at short mid-on.

There are 14 overs left to be bowled in the day and with the spinners on, they may only need a few minutes of the extra half hour to get through them.

It looks like the pitch will be getting better and better for the spinners to bowl. There must be an injury or niggle with Marizanne Kapp because there's no other reason why she hasn't bowled since the morning session.

Big turn and bounce for Nonkululeko Mlaba and while that makes it tricky for new batter Sophie Ecclestone now, she will be very excited to get bowling herself when she sees that.

Charlie Dean got into a right tangle. A bit tentative, perhaps batting one place too high. However, with Ryana MacDonald-Gay in the side it made sense.

It skidded through her legs and was a smart piece of bowling showing the rewards Mlaba can get from pitching the ball up.

This post-tea session has had a different feel to it. South Africa will be trying to get through these last overs as quickly as possible to finish the day.

The game feels like it's in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment with England avoiding taking any risks against the spinners, likely not wanting the tail exposed when the second new ball is taken.

But as such the run-rate is being forced down, which suits South Africa, and so they're sticking with the old ball.

South Africa have Marizanne Kapp who is a demon with a new ball. You should use that when you can and when it's available.

The new ball won't be a hindrance to the spinners either so it's a no-brainer for me.

Another Nonkululeko Mlaba over goes by with just a single from it.

Still South Africa persist with the old ball and given how the spinners have performed since tea, you can understand why.

Nonkululeko Mlaba, who ran out Sciver-Brunt, could be South Africa's secret weapon in this match, having starred in white-ball cricket over the last 12-18 months.

The 24-year-old is closing in on 100 wickets across formats for the Proteas, and she's driven to help bring her country together.

Six from Sune Luus' over as Charlie Dean tickles an off-line delivery down to fine leg for four.

That's 80 overs bowled but no sign of South Africa taking the second new ball just yet.

These girls are so used to playing white-ball cricket where backing up is so important. In Test cricket it's not important at all.

So there is some argument that Nat Sciver-Brunt didn't need to be backing up as much as she was.
