    Twelve for a super over. Twelve came off the last over.

  2. Eng 152-7published at 19 overs

    Need 13 from six balls

    Oh! That's not what England needed.

    Sarah Glenn can only get a single.

    That means England need 13 from the final over but it will be Glenn on strike, not Heather Knight.

    This is a free hit for Sarah Glenn. Go for it.

  4. Eng 151-7published at 18.5 overs

    Need 14 from seven balls

    A two skied into the air by Sarah Glenn.

    A boundary to finish would be huge....

  5. Eng 149-7published at 18.4 overs

    Slapped through the covers but it's only one for Knight.

  6. 6 runs

    Eng 148-7published at 18.3 overs

    NOT. DONE. YET.

    Six for Heather Knight.

    England need 17 from nine.

  7. Eng 142-7published at 18.2 overs

    England scamper a bye to get Heather Knight back on strike.

    23 needed from 10.

  8. Eng 141-7published at 18.1 overs

    Just a single to start the 19th for Knight.

    She's lost the strike too. It's over to Sarah Glenn.

    South Africa have been brilliant.

    We said that was a big 18th over and Khaka took three wickets.

    England need 25 from 12 balls.

    It's all on captain Heather Knight. Can she have a captain's knock?

    Plumb!

    England's hopes are fading. Katherine Sciver-Brunt is out for a golden duck in what could be her final World Cup appearance.

    It looks out...

  15. England reviewpublished at 18 overs

    Katherine Sciver-Brunt is given out lbw first ball!

    With milliseconds to spare she sends it upstairs.

    The South Africans think the time was done.

    There's been a lot said about Katherine Sciver-Brunt in this game.

    She's got to do it with the bat now.

    England need 25 runs from 13 balls.

    Ecclestone c Bosch b Khaka 1 (Eng 140-6)

    Is that it? Sophie Ecclestone tries to strike the boundary she needs but is caught at extra cover. It's an ugly strike.

    England are sinking. The noise is extraordinary.

  19. Eng 140-5published at 17.4 overs

    There are worried faces in the England dugout.

    There's a fella in the crowd whipping up more noise.
