    Although Sciver-Brunt is not happy out there you know she will field well.

    There she is. Katherine Sciver-Brunt takes the catch.

    Brits c K Sciver-Brunt b Bell 68 (SA 142-2)

    England are back in the game!

    Lauren Bell is clever, taking the pace off the ball and Tazmin Brits doesn't spot it, as she clubs the ball straight to Katherine Sciver-Brunt on the long-on boundary.

    A brilliant innings comes to a close.

    England saving their worst performance for the semis, BUT this is a featherbed. South Africa need 180.

    We saw the same from Katherine Sciver-Brunt in the Commonwealth Games, screaming at Freya Kemp - a 17-year-old.

    The girls don't like it. It makes you more nervous. It makes you physically shake.

    Another chance for England although it's a very slim one as Tazmin Brits drives one just beyond a diving Heather Knight at cover for four more.

    I know she is passionate but that is not acceptable. Look at the pressure Katherine Sciver-Brunt is putting on her team-mates. Yes it is a poor throw but you can't speak to people like that.

    She has lost her head.

    Not once did we see Australia losing their rag yesterday.

    Lauren Bell returns. Her first ball goes for a single.

    That is not OK. For me you cannot be doing that on the field as a senior player.

  11. SA 135-1published at 17 overs

    Katherine Sciver-Brunt is screaming at her team-mates again as a poor throw allows South Africa to come back for a second.

    England are losing their heads.

    Really worrying signs for England now.

    Katherine Sciver-Brunt has her head in her hands and is shouting at her team-mates, which is not a good look, and will not help the team's confidence.

    They are not used to being this rattled.

  13. SA 133-1published at 16.5 overs

    The score predictor says 170. I'm worrying guys.

    Katherine Sciver-Brunt is shouting things we cannot repeat on the radio. Are the wheels coming off England here?

    It is all going wrong for England.

    Oh no! Kapp chips one into no-man's land but Charlie Dean can't get to it diving forward. The ball dribbles through her for four runs when that could so easily have been a wicket.

    Capsey has just been shouted at for her fielding and then pulls off a full-length dive to stop four.

    It shows she has something about her. I would have been shaking.

    There is fury from Katherine Sciver-Brunt who does not think there should have been two there.

  19. SA 128-1published at 16.1 overs

    No smiles in the England camp as Katherine Sciver-Brunt is furious with a two conceded off her first ball back.

    Here's Laura Wolvaardt's fifty. She's out now but built a brilliant platform for South Africa.
