Listen to the noise!
Laura Wolvaardt comes down the pitch and lofts Nahida well over the leg-side boundary.

Brits 5, Wolvaardt 4
Just one run from Jahanara's first over. South Africa are stalling!
Remember, lose and it's New Zealand into the semis at the hosts' expense.

Jahanara Alam into the attack. Six dots in a row now.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorLaura Wolvaardt should be gone.
How have Bangladesh contrived the mess that up?
SA 8-0published at 2.5 overs
Unbelievable. A mix-up between the batters with both of them at the non-strikers end but the ball's thrown to the wrong end and Laura Wolvaardt is able to scramble back to safety.

Marufa continues. The crowd is silent. Everyone is a bag of nerves.

SA 7-0
That's the kind of catch you need to take when defending less than 120.
Tazmin Brits comes down the pitch and chips it straight towards the mid-off fielder but she can't make the ball stick on the dive.

SA 4-0published at 1.2 overs
We go to spin with Nahida Akter, who has a slip in just to add to the pressure.
Bangladesh are in tight and on their toes.

Georgia Elwiss
England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThe body language from the two batters out there is not one that is showing huge confidence. It is certainly a shaky start.
SA 3-0published at 1 over
"Yes, no, yes."
South Africa are full of nerves as they take a single off the final ball of the first over.
Low-scoring matches are always the best as a neutral.
SA 1-0published at 0.3 overs
Target 114
What a start. Marufa Akter has caused two huge appeals already as South Africa get off the mark with a single through the covers.

Missing, and by a long way. Wolvaardt survives. She only reviewed it with a second to go.
