    South Africa are in big trouble!

    WICKET

    Dercksen b King 5 (Aus 60-5)

    Annerie Dercksen is put out of her misery by a beaming Alana King.

    She's bowled for a nervy 5 (19). King has 3-0, I repeat, 3-0.

  3. SA 60-4

    50 up for South Africa is quickly followed by 60 up.

    Sinalo Jafta picks off three boundaries off Annabel Sutherland.

    Southern Brave bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A terrible throw from Annabel Sutherland. Annerie Dercksen was so far out of her crease.

    Alana King is getting so much spin and turn here.

  5. SA 48-4

    HOW HAVE SOUTH AFRICA NOT LOST A WICKET THERE?

    After playing four sensible defensive shots against Alana King, Annerie Dercksen plays the ball straight to the fielder at mid-off and inexplicably sets off for a single.

    She changes her mind after getting halfway down and is only saved by a dreadful throw from Annabel Sutherland. She would have been out by a country mile.

    The change of pace is proving really effective for the seamers.

    Australia are so ruthless as a team and you can feel how on top they are at the moment.

  7. SA 48-4

    Annerie Dercksen gives the South Africa bench something to cheer, sending Annabel Sutherland back down the ground for four.

    Can they rebuild from here? Let's see what chaos Alana King can cause in her second over.

    What a start from Alana King.

    A big flamboyant drive from Marizanne Kapp after not judging the pace of the wicket. She will be so disappointed.

    WICKET

    Kapp c Garth b King 0 (SA 43-4)

    Australia on the attack as King takes two wickets in 12th over

    Might need to change your plans for this afternoon... South Africa have gifted Alana King and Australia another wicket.

    Marizanne Kapp pops an easy catch to Kim Garth at backward point to depart for 0.

    South Africa have lost 4-11 and are falling apart.

  10. Phoebe Graham
    Southern Brave bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Crazy shot from Sune Luus.

    It goes straight up and Annabel Sutherland takes a simple catch. That shot was not needed at this point in the game at all.

    Sune Luus tries to go for the big shot early but gives her wicket away. What was going through her mind playing that shot?

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Luus c Sutherland b King 6 (SA 43-3)

    South Africa are unravelling.

    Sune Luus goes for a big heave against Alana King but instead gifts an easy catch to Annabel Sutherland at mid-on.

    A completely needless shot from such an experienced player. The pressure is on Marizanne Kapp to rescue this innings.

  13. Phoebe Graham
    Southern Brave bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Annerie Dercksen has had a slow start to the competition and she needs runs desperately in this game.

    Australia will know what pressure she is under.

  14. SA 43-2

    When you've lost two early wickets and need to build a partnership, probably the last person you want to see bustling in is Annabel Sutherland - the tournament's highest wicket-taker.

    She concedes a single from her first over of the day.

  15. Phoebe Graham
    Southern Brave bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A great comeback from Australia. South Africa were 32-1 but since the departure of Laura Wolvaardt, they have not been able to crack on with scoring.

  16. SA 42-2

    Luus 5, Dercksen 0

    Well, after a bright start for South Africa, you'd have to say that was Australia's powerplay.

    The Proteas were 32-0 after six overs, with Laura Wolvaardt looking in immaculate touch. However, in the past four overs, Australia have removed both openers and only conceded 10 runs.

    Ominous signs.

  17. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The ball struck Tazmin Brits on the right groin so there was no chance of it going over. She could have started walking after the first replay really.

    WICKET

    Brits lbw b Garth 6 (SA 42-2)

    Brits 'absolutely done' by slower ball as Garth dismisses batter lbw for six

    Yup, out. Smacking three-quarters of the way up middle stump. Excellent use of her slower ball from Kim Garth.

    Tazmin Brits departs for a scratchy 6 (19). Australia have two powerplay wickets.

  19. Phoebe Graham
    Southern Brave bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That looks like a good decision from the umpire. It was a slower ball and looks like it has done Tazmin Brits

  20. South Africa review

    Tazmin Brits gets down on one knee to try and sweep Kim Garth but is struck on her pad.

    The umpire's finger goes up. Brits makes the T symbol.

    I think this is out.
