  1. SA 1-0published at 1 overs

    Laura Wolvaardt, the South Africa opening bat, is 18. She was born in 1999 - just a couple of months before that World Cup when South Africa's men somehow messed up against Australia. I feel old. She hits a single in the opening over of the run-chase.

    Here we go then. The South Africans are out in the middle, facing a huge target of 374 to win.

  3. Sarah Taylor 'one of the best in the world'published at 14:19 British Summer Time 5 July 2017

    England batter Tammy Beaumont: "When Sarah is striking it like that it's nice to be at the other end. She is one of the best batters in the world, it's great that she's back with a smile on her face.

    "We thought it would be a good wicket. We thought if we could absorb pressure then we could put a good score on the board because we have a long batting line-up."

  4. Elsewhere...published at 14:12 British Summer Time 5 July 2017

    Australia don't seem to have missed captain Meg Lanning too much. In her absence the defending champions have racked up 290-8 against Pakistan in Leicester.

    In Derby, India have posted 232-8. Sri Lanka might feel like they are in with a sniff.

    England have, in the main, two players to thank for their huge total: Sarah Taylor and Tammy Beaumont.

    While we grab a quick break, here's a showreel of two fantastic hundreds.

    England are really starting to look good. Mark Robinson has created an environment that allows players to thrive. I want to see 400 broken in this tournament and I think England could do it.

    Today's total is England's fourth best of all time. They fell just short of the 378-5 they made against Pakistan last year.

  10. Postpublished at 13:53 British Summer Time 5 July 2017

    Unbelievable stuff from England, who follow their 377-7 against Pakistan earlier in the tournament with 373-5 here.

    Knight 22 off 10 balls

    Heather Knight adds some late impetus with a couple of boundaries, one of which is a wild edge through the slips. It adds up to a team total of 373-5

    Dani Wyatt and Heather Knight - two busy players who are good runners between the wickets - combine for the final two overs. The skipper, Knight, hits a four.

    It's a frustrating momentum shift for England. I don't think Kapp bowled a particularly good over, it was just England trying to keep the scoring going.

  14. Eng 349-5published at 48 overs

    England might have enough already, but they've collapsed a little here nonetheless. Their momentum has been checked.

    That's pretty high. There was a wry smile from Kapp, she knows that she has burgled a wicket there.

    Brunt c & b Kapp 4 (Eng 347-5)

    A simple caught and bowled. Kapp's boosting her bowling figures at the very least.

  17. Hat-trick ballpublished at 47.3 overs

    Eng 347-4

    Katherine Brunt charges the hat-trick ball, is leaning for it and just about gets the ball over a flying point fielder for four.

    Beaumont c Khaka b Kapp 148 (Eng 343-4)

    Kapp is on a hat-trick! Tammy Beaumont is finally dismissed... and given a friendly kick on her way off by Surrey Stars team-mate Kapp.

    Beaumont was caught at leg slip.

    Nat Sciver takes one for the team and is caught at point.

    Nat Sciver joins Tammy Beaumont for one last swing of the bat. The 350 is on, as is 375.
