    That has got to be the shot of the night. That is sen-sational.

    Target 112

    Shot of the day!

    A shimmy down the pitch from Dunkley and she shows the last ball of Klaas' over the full face of the bat, she holds the pose too as the lofted drive flies high and straight for six. Glorious.

    That's the 50 up for England at the end of the powerplay.

    Target 112

    After smashing the first ball of the over back past Klass, Dunkley gets four more in a rather streakier manner. Another outside edge that loops up towards deep third.

    This time Goodall was in the ring, though, and the ball comfortably clears her and spins away to the fence.

    Khaka has been outstanding. She has not let the England batters get away. She has bowled tight lines.

    Target 112

    Nat Sciver is in to bat at number four and it just feels like a grown-up has walked into the room. She just exudes that air of complete confidence and control, no matter the situation.

    This is such clever bowling from Khaka - the slower ball followed by the quicker one. Smith misjudged the length. It was not short enough to pull.

    Smith b Khaka 2 (Eng 30-2)

    Two for Khaka! Smith struggled to get going but she was tasked with going hard in the powerplay so she kept trying. To no avail this time.

    She played back and tried to heave the ball legside, the ball was full from Khaka though and clattered into off stump.

    South Africa have given themselves a glimmer.

    South Africa won't feel too aggrieved. The style of play England are using will mean they are in the game. They will think if they can take wickets here they are with a shout.

    The only way South Africa can win is by bowling England out.

  10. Eng 30-1published at 4 overs

    A moment of good fortune for Smith to end the over.

    She sent a leading edge high towards mid-on, the fielder was back on the rope so Tryon set off after it but it carried just far enough to evade the bowler's grasp.

  11. Eng 27-1published at 3.3 overs

    Target 112

    Right, you are, Georgia. No change from Dunkley, she is down the pitch to Chloe Tryon and hits the left-arm spinner back past mid-off for four.

    I wonder if Dunkley will now change the way she plays. My guess is no.

  13. Eng 21-1published at 3 overs

    Target 112

    Very good over from Ayabonga Khaka, just one from it and the wicket of Wyatt.

    Bryony Smith is in at three for England, playing her first T20 international since 2018.

    It was a shot in haste from Wyatt. I am not sure the ball was there to hit. Maybe she was frustrated because she usually has more of the strike.

    Wyatt b Khaka 0 (Eng 21-1)

    Bowled her! Just the fourth ball that Danni Wyatt has faced and she wanted to get in on the fun Dunkley was having.

    It's a wild swipe across the line in the end, not pretty. She's just missed a straight one and South Africa have something to celebrate.

    Target 112

    This one could be over very, very quickly the way Sophia Dunkley has started.

    That is a quite ridiculous shot from Sophia Dunkley. He held the pose for effect. It was never going anywhere other than into the crowd.

    I don't think we are going to see many forward defensive shots here.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 19-0published at 1.3 overs

    Wowzers! That is some hit from Dunkley!

    She picks up a length delivery from Klass and dispatches it over deep mid-wicket. The sound off the bat was magnificent. Six all the way.

    She didn't seem to pick it up. Fielding on this ground with the floodlights is tricky.

  20. Eng 13-0published at 1.1 overs

    Chance for South Africa? Dunkley sends Masabata Klaas' first ball spiralling down to deep third but Goodall backs off rather than go for the catch.

    It would have been some catch if she got it but, surely, South Africa need to be going for everything in this position?
