    I think we're in for another brilliant game. We've seen a great exhibition of T20 cricket from New Zealand.

    This is the England photo I mentioned. So, Wyatt to open, Jones at six?

  4. South Africa team newspublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 20 June 2018

    Meanwhile, South Africa have made one change from the match against New Zealand - with Masabata Klaas replacing fellow right-arm seamer Zintle Mali. Interesting, as Mali was by no means the worst of their bowlers this afternoon as New Zealand flogged them around Taunton.

  5. England team newspublished at 17:26 British Summer Time 20 June 2018

    England have made two changes from the last ODI against South Africa, and they're largely like-for-like - with Jenny Gunn replacing fellow seam-bowling all-rounder Georgia Elwiss, and Danielle Hazell in for fellow off-spinner Laura Marsh.

    The interesting conundrum comes at the top of the order - where the picture of the team England have tweeted suggests that Danni Wyatt will open, with Amy Jones moving down to number six.

    England have won the toss and will bat first.

    Going back to that New Zealand win, if you've played cricket at any level, you'll have played in a game where Team A gets such a big score that Team B have a mountain to climb. South Africa (this afternoon's Team B) did pretty well in the circumstances, but must have been at least a little bit demoralised by such a tanking.

    News of the toss, and the teams, for this game... when we get them.

    Ah, the new England T20 kit, modelled below by a smiling Natalie Sciver. You may have seen it once before - when under the ICC's new rules about kit clashes, England's men wore it for that recent match against Scotland that we don't talk about any more.

    It still looks more orange than red (or "solar red") to us...

    Afternoon, everyone (or does it count as evening now? Still light outside for a while as tomorrow's the longest day). If you were with us earlier, welcome back - if you've only just joined us, you missed a mouth-watering start to this T20 tri-series at Taunton.

    New Zealand were quickly out of the traps and hammered South Africa into the ground, making 216-1 - a record for women's T20 internationals - on the way to a 66-run victory.

    Can South Africa pick themselves back up off the canvas to see off England? Or will England's dazzling new T20 kit outshine them?
