    Sophia Dunkley likes to free her hands so this is good bowling, just cramping her for room and not allowing those big shots.

    Target 149

    Big early shout from bowler Ayabonga Khaka who appeals for a catch behind after the ball loops up in the air off Sophia Dunkley's thigh.

    Was there any bat involved? Umpire says no, and it appears to be the right call.

    Khaka continues with her pacey attack, limiting England to just three runs off her over.

    31 is not veteran age Steven.

    I don't know if it's right to call someone two years younger than me a veteran, but Danni Wyatt has played more than 120 T20s, so I'm going to call her one.

    If we're being critical, South Africa were probably too slow in the powerplay so it'll be interesting to see how differently England approach the opening overs.

    Target 149

    A good start from Shabnim Ismail who builds pressure with some early variation.

    Sophia Dunkley gets off strike with a single through the covers before Danni Wyatt pushes two lovely dabs down to third man.

    Even-stevens in the first over.

    Shabnim Ismail will want to make a statement today. She hasn't been at her best or made much of an impact, so she will be up for it.

  8. Postpublished at 16:04 British Summer Time 23 July 2022

    Here we go then. England's openers Sophia Dunkley and Danni Wyatt are walking out to bat.

    Shabnim Ismail will start with the ball for the tourists.

    Thanks Callum.

    I agree with you mate. This is a good batting wicket and England should be fairly confident.

    Right, time for a change in the live text seat.

    Joe Rindl will take you through England's chase of 149.

    Anneke Bosch played really nicely at the top of the order today.

    The all-rounder was really good in the Test matches but then wasn't part of the ODI squad. On this evidence she should have been.

    It's good to have a game on our hands.

    It's been much better from South Africa. They have struggled in the white-ball series but that's a decent score.

    They will be slightly disappointed as they were looking at about 160 at one point. England will have to bat well to get there but they will back themselves.

  14. Postpublished at 15:56 British Summer Time 23 July 2022

    Is that going to be enough for the tourists?

    My initial hunch is no. It looks a good batting wicket.

    What do you think? Thumbs up if you think England will win or thumbs down if you think South Africa will.

  15. SA 148-6published at 20 overs

    A single into point to end the innings.

    England will need 149 to win and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20 series.

    She's executed that slower ball out of the back of her hand perfectly.

    Wolvaardt b Brunt 21 (SA 147-6)

    Got her!

    Katherine Brunt becomes England women's most successful T20 bowler.

    It is the back-of-the-hand slower ball from Brunt and Laura Wolvaardt just doesn't pick it.

    It is wicket 103 for Brunt. It takes her past Anya Shrubsole.

    Laura Wolvaardt needs to face all three of these final balls.

  19. SA 147-5published at 19.4 overs

    Delmi Tucker works a single into the leg side before Laura Wolvaardt plays a glorious straight drive to pick up four more.

    She's such a talent.

    Dropped by her wife at extra cover! At least she had the awareness to get the run out, but that's disastrous for South Africa.
