    Lizelle Lee has now got her highest Test score.

    Trail by 51

    Oh, that is lovely! Lizelle Lee clips gloriously off her legs and the ball races away to the mid-wicket boundary. It's a bit risky given that's how she got out in the first innings but she's timed that to perfection.

    The fact that there is rain around helps South Africa because there will be time taken out of the game. They're playing for the draw and Sekhukhune is shaping up quite nicely.

  4. SA 74-4published at 37 overs

    Trail by 59

    I was about to say that Sekhukhune is not much of a fan of Bazball (with five from 45 balls) when she unleashes a glorious cut shot off Ecclestone to bring four.

    Shot.

    It has started raining quite heavily here at Taunton. The British summer is so frustrating.

    No pair for Lizelle Lee today. She'll be relieved and she looks at her bat in admiration.

  7. SA 65-4published at 36 overs

    The rain is falling heavily now but the umpires must be confident that it's just a passing shower as they keep the game going.

    Lizelle Lee takes a single to get off the mark and avoided the dreaded pair.

    Mark Puttick: Kate Cross now has the most women's Test wickets for a bowler whose surname ends in "oss", overtaking Zoe Goss' 20 wickets.

    It must be a really nice feeling for Sophie Ecclestone knowing just how good she is.

  10. SA 64-4published at 35 overs

    England are on the hunt for more wickets now as Sophie Ecclestone comes into the attack.

    She pins Tumi Sekhukhune on the front pad first ball but it's turned down as replays show the ball to be missing leg stump.

    Ecclestone could be the key to England wrapping up this innings quickly, as she so often is.

    Ah. And it's raining.

  11. Anderson returns for India Testpublished at 11:34 British Summer Time 30 June 2022

    Meanwhile, some news from the England men's camp ahead of their Test match against India starting tomorrow.

    James Anderson returns after missing out with an ankle injury at Headingley, in place of Jamie Overton.

    Wicketkeeper Ben Foakes is also not fit so Sam Billings keeps his place.

    Lizelle Lee averages three in Test cricket.

  13. SA 64-4published at 34 overs

    Lizelle Lee comes to the crease in place of her captain.

    She was also out lbw to Lauren Bell in the first innings, playing across the line, so this will be a challenge for her.

    A wicket maiden for Kate Cross!

    Kate Cross has been fantastic this match with four wickets in the first innings and now two in the second. She's been so so good.

    Luus lbw b Cross 10 (SA 64-4)

    Cross gets the breakthrough!

    Luus had been playing across the line to Lauren Bell on a couple of occasions but the ball was swinging enough to mitigate the lbw. She doesn't have the same luck against Cross and is trapped in front, given out on field and opts against the review.

    A big wicket!

    Sue Redfern is just having a word with Lauren Bell about her follow through and where she is going and where she can go. She needs to be careful especially on a fourth day pitch.

  17. SA 64-4published at 33 overs

    Sune Luus pushes one nicely off the back foot for a single off Lauren Bell and Tumi Sekhukhune safely sees off the rest of the over.

    She's looked solid enough so far.

    Kate Cross will bowl in a similar manner to Nat Sciver but she's expert with the wobble ball and she loves bowling at left handers getting the ball to move across them.

  19. SA 63-3published at 32 overs

    Kate Cross replaces Sciver and also starts with a maiden.

    England need wickets and South Africa have shown so far they are not going to give them away easily.

    There are spots of rain falling. But it can only be light and we can still see lots of blue sky.
