    This tournament is relentless so getting the extra day off by winning this game is a real bonus.

    Some nice early shape from Marizanne Kapp. This is something Australia actually struggled with in their innings.

    Kapp is shaping the ball nicely into Phoebe Litchfield.

  3. Aus 0-0

    Marizanne Kapp starts with a maiden to Phoebe Litchfield.

    35 of those and South Africa might be in business.

  4. Right then, we're going to get going again.

    Phoebe Litchfield will face the first ball from Marizanne Kapp, with Georgia Voll at the non-striker's end.

    Australia need just 98 runs for victory.

  5. Here's all seven wickets from the Alana King Show.

    She caught South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt too to end a swift 31-run innings at the top of the order.

    Greedy, really.

    Alana King is a wizard. Best leggie since Warne.

  7. Hello there!

    That went wrong rather rapidly for South Africa, didn't it?

    An early break between innings, and indeed an early lunch for me, wolf it down situation before we crack on with covering the second innings.

  8. It's been the Alana King Show in Indore and Australia only need 98 to secure top spot in the table.

    Here's Mike Peter to take you through the rest of the break and Australia's chase.

  9. 'I love being part of this Australia team'

    Australia spin-bowler Alana King: "It is a great feeling and I love trying to get Australia into a good position. To keep them [South Africa] to less than 100, we are pumped.

    "I extracted some spin in the first game here. We know it is going to hold a little but you still have to asses conditions as soon as you can. I am really pleased to get something out of it."

    On her form: "I haven't changed too much. I have some great coaches and mentors and teammates to help evolve my game. I just want to keep doing my role for Australia.

    "I am really happy to be a bowler in this team and I can put my feet up now and let the batters do the work."

  10. This was how it started for Alana King, striking twice in the 12th over as South Africa lost 3-1.

    And she didn't look back from there.

    That is probably her best delivery of the day. It's been absolutely brilliant from Alana King. She's rattled through the middle order.

    What a performance from Alana King!

    WICKET

    De Klerk b King 14 (SA 97 all out)

    ALANA KING HAS SEVEN!!!

    Alana King finishes with 7-18 - the best figures in Women's World Cup history, surpassing Jackie Lord's 6-10 in 1982.

    It's an absolute corker to knock over Nadine de Klerk's stumps. The South Africa all-rounder stands agog.

    South Africa are all out for 97. Wow.

  14. SA 95-9

    South Africa have one wicket remaining. Alana King needs one to return the best figures in Women's World Cup history.

    Ash Gardner has joined the party. It is a brilliant delivery.

    Ash Gardner gets in on the action! She punches her arm in the air after bowling Ayabonga Khaka for 0.

  17. SA 90-8

    Nadine de Klerk dots out five deliveries before taking a single off the final ball of Alana King's sixth over to retain the strike.

  18. SA 89-8

    Ash Gardner goes up a big lbw appeal against Ayabonga Khaka. It's not given and Australia aren't interested in the review.

    Earlier in the over, a single was added to South Africa's tally. Can they make it to three figures?

    I am speechless. The art of spin has beaten Masabata Klaas.

    Alana King is having an absolute day out here. The crowd stand and applaud and South Africa are in turmoil.
