    South Africa need 20 runs an over so you can see what Mignon du Preez was trying to do by forcing the issue.

    Alex Capsey in action with catch. Sarah Glenn deserved that wicket - she has bowled well.

    Du Preez c Capsey b Glenn 15 (SA 109-4)

    Mignon du Preez makes some space and slaps it straight to Alice Capey at extra cover. It was perhaps there to be hit. Sarah Glenn has her first wicket of the innings.

  4. SA 109-3published at 16.3 overs

    Throughout the innings, South Africa have struggled to connect cleanly.

    Having said that, Du Preez plays a terrific clip through mid-wicket for four.

    It's a good achievement for Tamzin Brits to get a half-century. I would have like to see that strike rate up. It's good innings but it's not been quite quick enough really.

  6. SA 102-3published at 16 overs

    Du Preez steps away from the stumps to make some space. The experienced Nat Sciver follows her.

    Five from the over. The writing is on the wall for South Africa. Barring a miracle, it's a clean-sweep for England.

    I thought a few years ago: "Is there anyone to replace Anya Shrubsole and Katherine Brunt when they bow out?" There didn't look to be many people around. Yet now, there is Issy Wong, Freya Kemp along with Lauren Bell. It's exciting.

    Target 177

    Bosh! Du Preez slaps Issy Wong down the ground for four. Hit with power.

    Brits then plays an awkward looking shot which I don't know quite know how best to describe. It was like a tame reverse paddle to shot fine-leg.

    Here's Freya Kemp's first international wicket, courtesy of the brilliant Amy Jones.

    Tazmin Brits brings up her half-century with a single. South Africa's slim hopes in this game rely heavily on their opener.

  11. SA 88-3published at 14 overs

    Sophie Ecclestone bowls on the toes and the South Africa batters have no answers.

    Four runs from the over and, more importantly, the wicket of Wolvaardt.

  12. SA 85-3published at 13.3 overs

    Mignon du Preez is the new batter in. She's off the mark with a single.

    That was a review out of desperation by Laura Wolvaardt.

    Laura Wolvaardt was just starting to get going so that's a key wicket at a good time for Sophie Ecclestone.

    Yep - that was pretty plumb. Wolvaardt was quite a way down the track but the ball was going on to hit middle.

    This is what Sophie Ecclestone does.

    It's a poor shot by Laura Wolvaardt...

    Sophie Ecclestone has Laura Wolvaardt trapped in front. This looks pretty out to me. And the umpire thinks so too.

    South Africa review. Perhaps more in hope than anything else.

    Another 94 needed to win which would be the most South Africa have scored in the final seven overs of a T20 international. It would also be the most ever scored against England in the final seven overs.

    South Africa are going to need to hit a lot more boundaries. Someone like Laura Wolvaardt is going to need to take some risks.

  20. SA 84-2published at 13 overs

    A much-needed boundary as Brits drags Glenn through the leg side. But just one boundary from the over is not enough for the tourists.

    South Africa need 94 from seven overs.
