  1. SA 157-2

    Lee 113 (102 balls), Van Niekerk

    Dane van Niekerk is the new batter, and the Proteas captain is off the mark with a single off her first ball.

  2. Brunt makes breakthrough with Wolvaardt wicket

    And here's the Wolvaardt wicket...

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

    That was one of those catches that hangs more than you think it will, and Brunt had to do well to get round and catch it.

    I think Lee needs a partner who will work with her and rotate the strike, like Van Niekerk or even Kapp.

  4. wicket

    WICKET

    Luus c Brunt b Shrubsole 2 (SA 155-2)

    The Fast Bowlers' Union comes up trumps as Luus also eyes up the legside boundary but Brunt is there to take the catch, sinking to her knees to take the important catch.

  5. SA 155-1

    Lee 112 (100 balls)

    Despite all those pyrotechnics from Lizelle Lee, the required rate is still north of eight an over. A tidy over from Brunt is spoiled when she strays onto leg stump with the last ball and Lee guides the 100th ball she's faced for four off her legs.

  6. SA 150-1

    Target 332

    England have their opening bowlers back in tandem as Anya Shrubsole returns at the Sea End. Sune Luus, in at number three, is off the mark with a single

  7. Isabelle Westbury
    Former Middlesex captain on BBC Test Match Special

    If you're in the Brighton & Hove area, I urge you to come on down as we have a game on our hands. Bring a jumper, though.

  8. 'New ball please' - Lee hits Ecclestone full toss out of the ground

    Here's the one Lizelle Lee hit out of the ground:

  9. SA 148-1

    Lee uses Brunt's pace with a delicate dab for four, then makes sure she keeps the strike.

    At this stage, England were 153-1. Game on!

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Wolvaardt c Jones b Brunt 32 (SA 142-1)

    It's not the one England wanted - but it's finally a breakthrough. England had turned back to their pace spearhead Katherine Brunt - and in trying to emulate her opening partner's big blasts over the leg side, Laura Wolvaardt holes out on the legside boundary.

  11. WATCH: Lee sends ball sailing into the crowd

    Here's one of those sixes she hit in the crowd, endangering the aforementioned gents having a drink:

  12. 100 runs

    100 for Lizelle Lee

    SA 140-0

    Down on one knee, a sweep for four, and that's a century for Lizelle Lee, who made 92 not out from 128 balls at Worcester and now has 101 not out from 91 deliveries. A proper purple patch of form.

  13. SA 136-0

    With the spinners being flayed around East Sussex, England turn back to Nat Sciver's medium pace. There's a big lbw appeal when Lizelle Lee swings, misses and is hit in the unmentionable region - but Lee is going great guns here, marmalising her fifth six of the innings over mid-wicket and crashing another four.

  14. SA 125-0

    Target 332

    Having enjoyed herself hitting Ecclestone for sixes last over, Marsh has to be content with being swept and cut for back-to-back fours by the Proteas opener. A siogle in the next over means she has taken 48 from her last 32 balls faced.

    The required rate is now a shade under eight. But their rate from the last five overs is 11.

  15. Lee moves past 50 with powerful cut for four

    Here's how Lizele Lee passed 50...

  16. 6 runs

    SA 112-0

    Lee 77 (80 balls)

    Lizelle Lee takes aim at those gents in the marquee at cow corner again, hitting Ecclestone for back-to-back sixes - the first falls short of the marquees, but the second is a rank full toss which Lee literally hits out of the ground and into someone's garden!

    It was such a big hit, Lee fell over going through with the shot. And now we have a short delay while the umpires requisition a replacement ball.

  17. Meanwhile, back at The Grange...

    Scotland are 53-0 after five overs needing 205 to beat Pakistan in that first T20 international.

    You can follow that match via our live scorecard.

  18. SA 96-0

    Lee 61, Wolvaardt 29

    The introduction of Marsh and Ecclestone is likely to make England's already impressive over-rate even quicker. Marsh spins down a rapid over and captain Heather Knight distinguishes herself with a couple of diving stops in the covers, where she patrolled so well during the World Cup.

  19. 6 runs

    SA 92-0

    Target 332

    Oh, that's huge! Lee goes deep, launching Ecclestone into orbit over cow corner where it sails way over the boundary and hits a marquee where four men were enjoying a cold one or two !

    Does anyone else remember the massive eggcups placed around the boundary at Hove by a sponsor in the mid-80s? And how it took an absolute age for someone (Imran Khan?) to win a prize by hitting one with a six?

    Well, that six would have cleared those eggs.

  20. Ecclestone puts down Wolvaardt on 17

    Here's that dropped catch which Ecclestone got a hand to.

    Will leave you to decide how difficult it was!
