  1. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    That's unplayable from Sciver, who has some real fire about her.

  2. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    That's the perfect yorker from Nat Sciver and it's the batter South Africa didn't want to lose.

    WICKET

    Lee b Sciver 72 (SA 128-1)

    What did we say about England having to hit the stumps? Nat Sciver is the one to make the breakthrough, squeezing a yorker underneath the bat of Lizelle Lee and on to the off stump. Lee departs after being dropped four times. Relief is the overriding emotion for England.

  4. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Five years ago, you'd say Laura Wolvaardt is a massive talent. However, the game has moved on and her strike-rate is hurting the team here.

  5. SA 128-0

    Wolvaardt 41, Lee 72

    The problem South Africa have is that Wolvaardt hasn't joined the party. She hasn't hit a boundary since the 13th over. More luck for Lee - a top-edged sweep dropping out of reach of the sprinting Alex Hartley. You can't say there is plenty going on out there. Except when Wolvaardt is on strike...

  6. Dan Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    There's anxiety and tension creeping into England's attack now.

  7. SA 123-0

    And here's the thing with all the dropped catches - Lee keeps piling on the runs. Inside out against Heather Knight, the ball disappearing to the cover fence for four. England have that huge score on the board, so are favourites, but for how long?

  8. Dan Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    England's catching has been fairly undistinguished.

  9. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    If England were playing Australia and they kept dropping Meg Lanning, they would be punished.

  10. dropped catch

    Lee dropped on 62

    SA 115-0

    Good lord, yet another. Lauren Winfield is the latest culprit, a pretty regulation chance at mid-on. Lizelle Lee has more lives than a lucky cat. A biff down the ground, spilled by Winfield at long-on. England will need to make about 30 chances at this rate.

  11. Get Involved

    David Wallace: Holy Moses! Dropped catches lose matches. Might be a cliché... but true nevertheless.

  12. SA 110-0

    Wolvaardt 34, Lee 61

    There's almost two games going on out there. When Wolvaardt is on strike the ball will either be patted back or worked for a single. When Lee gets a go, the white leather is terrified. Knight, a long run-up for an off-spinner, does well to keep a lid on South African intent. Four singles.

  13. SA 106-0

    Target 374

    I'm with Dan Norcross here. England need rid of Lizelle Lee and, given the way they have been catching, will probably need to hit the stumps to get rid of her. Danni Hazell is bowling too well either - both sides of the wicket. A drive through the covers for four, a sweep for a single. England are frying in the heat.

  14. Dan Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    There's a degree of complacent expectation that England's target won't be challenged, but South Africa are giving themselves a very good chance.

  15. 50 runs

    50 for Lizelle Lee

    SA 99-0

    Mark Robinson is on the boundary edge, hands on hips, shades, sunhat. Is he passing on a little advice? Lizelle Lee continues to sweep, this time off Heather Knight, to bring up a 57-ball half-century. She's been dropped three times, so I suppose she's effectively 50-3.

  16. SA 93-0

    Target 374

    Off-spin from both ends as Danni Hazell comes into the attack. Laura Wolvaardt has got stuck - she is eating up deliveries. Lizelle Lee might be getting dropped a lot, but she is scoring. Short and wide from Hazell, a pie that Lee helps to the fine leg fence. England could do with a wicket.

  17. Isa Guha
    Ex-England seamer on BBC Test Match Special

    That was straight into Sarah Taylor's hands. You'd have backed her to catch that after how well she kept in the previous match.

  18. dropped catch

    Lee dropped on 40

    SA 84-0

    A third drop! It's Sarah Taylor, who you would normally have your house on. Heather Knight's first delivery, short and wide, cut by Lizelle Lee. It's a thick edge, in an out of Taylor's white wicketkeeping gloves. England will need every one of their 373 runs if they keep shelling catches.

  19. dropped catch

    Lee dropped on 37

    SA 81-0

    Another dropped! Lizelle Lee gets a second life. Again, it would have been a belter, but these are chances that England need to take. Jenny Gunn, on as a sub, under a Lee slice at short third man. She leaps, one hand above her head, but parries it over the bar. When might England start to get twitchy?

  20. 6 runs

    SA 70-0

    Target 374

    Bosh! Lizelle Lee almost swings herself off her feet in launching Alex Hartley over cow corner. Someone might need to check the ball for damage. A chap, perhaps working in security, drops the catch. He might have held it if he'd been able to get out of his folding chair.
