Target 236
Wolvaardt rubs salt into the England wounds by thumping the ball back over Knight's head for four later in the over.
It is another tale of missed opportunities for England in the field. Time for drinks.

Missed stumpingpublished at 31.1 overs
SA 127-2 (Target 236)
Big chance missed by Amy Jones! Laura Wolvaardt came down the pitch to Knight, missed the ball by a distance but Jones fumbles with the batter a long way out of her ground.
Yet another life England have given the South Africa opener.

BBC Sport's chief cricket writer in TaurangaI think Heather Knight really wanted it and asked Charlie Dean, an inexperienced bowler, what she thought. Dean won't have been asked that question many times before. Is that a little sign of panic?

We don't get as far as ball-tracking. The third umpire adjudges that there was a bit of bat on it and Wolvaardt survives.

Dean hits Wolvaardt on the toe and with a second left on the timer, Knight calls for a review. It looks a little legside for mine...
50 for Laura Wolvaardtpublished at 06:43 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2022
The South Africa opener is doing a fine job for her side. Dropped on four and 23, she has made the most of those lives to get to an 80-ball half-century.
SA 119-2published at 30 overs
Target 236
Four singles from Knight's first over, all in singles. The game is in something of a holding pattern at the moment with both sides trying to position themselves for what could be a frenzied finish.

England need a wicket and the England captain is going to give herself a bowl.

Target 236
Top shot from Luus! The South Africa skipper confidently hits Dean over mid-off to start the over with a boundary.
Just two more singles follow but six-an-over from here will get them home with time a bit of time to spare.
SA 108-2published at 28 overs
Target 236
The runs are not exactly flowing for South Africa but they are doing what they need to to keep the rate manageable. The concern for England will be that Luus and Wolvaardt are doing so without having to take any risks at the moment.

Luus is given the OK to continue and pushes the last ball of the over out to long-on for a single.

Target 236
We've got a delay as Luus appears to have done something to her right wrist. Out comes the physio.
Decent start from Dean, though - three singles from the off-spinner's first five balls.

Luus 18, Wolvaardt 42
Ecclestone rattles through another tidy over, just two singles from it.
The required rate nudges up to above five and a half an over but with eight wickets in hand, South Africa will not be too concerned by that.
