ICC Women's World Cup, Visakhapatnam - SA win toss & bowl
De Klerk hits stunning unbeaten 84 off 54 balls to lead Proteas to target of 252
South Africa win by three wickets with seven balls to spare
India 251 (49.5 overs): Ghosh 94 (77); Tryon 3-32
India slip from 83-1 to 102-6 before Ghosh counters brilliantly
Match started one hour late because of rain and wet outfield, but no overs lost
Ghosh hits 94 off 77 balls to help India recover from batting collapse
Target 252
Tryon hits Gaud for a 'lovely' drive through extra cover for four
Now then... are Chloe Tryon and Nadine de Klerk winding up for something special?
De Klerk runs hard to pick up three after a sharp diving stop from Harleen Deol denies her a boundary. Then, Tryon pounces on a poor delivery from Kranti Gaud and smashes her through cover for four.
There's a wide in between and three singles scattered around as South Africa take 11 runs off the over.
Target 252
Nadine de Klerk has a boundary, getting down on one knee and powering Shree Charani fine for four.
With a single and a wide, South Africa knock six runs off their chase but the required rate is dangerously close to eight an over.
Target 252
Four runs conceded and the big wicket of Laura Wolvaardt.
Kranti Gaud will be pretty happy with her first over since the powerplay.

Wolvaardt has played so well in this innings.
Wolvaardt b Gaud 70 (SA 142-6)
Gaud 'bang on the money' as she bowls Wolvaardt for 70
Kranti Gaud makes the breakthrough for India!
She yorks Laura Wolvaardt and the ball splats into her middle stump. The South Africa skipper departs for 70 (111).
Is that game over?
Target 252
Textbook Laura Wolvaardt, driving through the covers for four. Harmanpreet Kaur attempted a diving stop and hurt herself in the process. She receives some treatment on her neck before carrying on.
Eight runs off the over. South Africa are ticking along.
Target 252
Four singles off an over for the fourth time in five overs.
India exploded into life in the final 10 overs of their innings. South Africa - who need 120 runs - have 16 overs at their disposal.

Lovely placement. Chloe Tryon bisects the fielders in the covers and collects four.
Seven runs off the over. South Africa's sixth-wicket pair have put on 47 (80).
And for the South Africa fans, here are the highlights from Laura Wolvaardt's innings (so far).
'Controlled' Wolvaardt brings up half century to give South Africa hope
Here are the five South Africa wickets to fall...
'Extraordinary' fielding as Brits caught and bowled by Gaud for a duck
South Africa in 'early trouble' as Luus edge caught behind by Ghosh
'Off stump rocked' as Rana bowls Kapp for 20
Bosch caught and bowled by Deepti for one
'Plumb' - Charani dismisses Jafta lbw for 14
Target 252
Oh, was that a missed stumping from Richa Ghosh?
Chloe Tryon danced down but failed to connect with her wild swing. However, she's saved by the ball grazing her thigh pad, which diverts it in the opposite direction to the off-balance wicketkeeper. She'd have been comfortably out had it been taken.
South Africa score four singles for the third consecutive over.

Laura Wolvaardt beats a diving fielder at mid-on, the ball is tidied up at long-on, and South Africa take a single. Bowler Harmanpreet Kaur is NOT happy.
It's one of four singles conceded off her fourth over.
Target 252
Chloe Tryon and Laura Wolvaardt rotate the strike and pick off four singles. The required rate is hovering around seven.

South Africa are not too far from what India were, it's just that crucial partnership they need.
Target 252
South Africa's batters finally get a read on Harmanpreet Kaur's bowling, taking the India skipper for nine runs.
Chloe Tryon pulls her away to the rope for four - only South Africa's third boundary since the 20-over mark.
Target 252
100 up for South Africa with a single for Laura Wolvaardt.
They need 152 runs from 22 overs.
Target 252
Laura Wolvaardt's single is the only scoring shot.
Am I enjoying India bowling Kaur from both ends, with captain Harmanpreet bringing herself back into the attack for the 27th? Yup, enormously, thank you.
She motions for her team-mates to hurry up at the end of the over. Must have plans.
SA 99-5
'Controlled' Wolvaardt brings up half century to give South Africa hope
After three frustrating dot balls, Laura Wolvaardt finally gets the single she needs to bring up her half-century off 81 balls. She's keeping her side in this match.
Target 252
Kaur delivery 'punched' away by Tryon to backward point for four
The required rate is above a run-a-ball and for the first time since the 16th over, South Africa have scored more than six runs off an over.
