  1. SA 100-0

    The hundred comes up with a single off Marufa. Brits moves on to 48 off 48.

  2. Daniel Norcross

    That over is what the chase needed.

  3. SA 99-0

    Four overs to go. 16 runs needed.

  4. SA 98-0

    That might be the game.

    Tazmin Brits comes down the pitch, meets the ball on the volley and launches it just over the head of the deep fielder who sprints in off the boundary.

    Four more runs.

  5. 50 runs

    50 for Wolvaardt

    SA 91-0

    And that's the 50 from 48 balls as Laura Wolvaardt gets down to sweep Nahida for a one-bounce four.

    England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    When Laura Wolvaardt plays shots like that you just think 'why have you not been doing that all innings?'

    That is more like it! The crowd love it. This is what we want to see.

  8. SA 87-0

    Shot! And listen to that noise. Laura Wolvaardt moves to 46 off 47 with a cruncher through the covers for four.

  9. SA 83-0

    Target 114

    The home fans are cheering twos now. They've only seen six boundaries from their side. Crazy.

  10. SA 80-0

    Wolvaardt 39, Brits 40

    Swing and a miss from Laura Wolvaardt, but the ball spins just wide of the off stump.

  11. SA 80-0

    Fahima's back into the attack. I'm gonna say it now, I don't think this South Africa performance will scare England ahead of their potential semi-final.

  12. SA 77-0

    Another over skips by, 11 from it.

    Both batters are on 38 off 42 having upped the rate these last couple of minutes.

    South Africa's supporters celebrate after South Africa's Tazmin Brits hits a four during the Group A T20 women's World Cup cricket match between South Africa and Bangladesh at Newlands Stadium in Cape TownGetty Images

    Suddenly it all feels easier...

  15. SA 74-0

    Here we go. Next ball Brits lofts one over extra cover for four.

    40 needed off 40.

  16. SA 70-0

    A gift for Tazmin Brits as 16-year-old Shorna Akter bowls one short which the South African easily pulls to the fence.

  17. This boundary was the third of just four we've seen from South Africa so far.

  18. SA 66-0

    Six runs from the over. That's pretty much all South Africa need.

    But with so many wickets in hand, why not have a go, rather than risking it by taking this game to the death.

    The worm shows South Africa are six runs ahead of Bangladesh. South Africa are 66 for 0 after 13 overs. At the same stage Bangladesh were 60 for 3.BBC Sport

    Fact. 'We want to entertain... in the semi-final'.

    There is something to be said about playing a standard of cricket that matches the opponent. They always play better against England.

  20. So true!
