    You can see what Amy Jones is trying to do there. Everybody is up on the off side but she just slaps it straight to extra-cover.

    Taken at extra cover! Listen to that noise.

    Amy Jones just didn't get enough elevation.

    England are into the all-rounders/bowlers now.

    Sensational from De Klerk.

    We've got three overs left. It's in the balance.

  10. Eng 138-4published at 17 overs

    Target 165

    Are there four Tazmin Brits out there? She's everywhere.

    Nadine de Klerk has finishes with a remarkably good 1-17.

    England need 28 runs from the final three overs.

    The worm shows England are two runs ahead of South Africa. England are 137 for 4 after 17 overs. At the same stage South Africa were 135 for 1.Image source, BBC Sport

    It's Tazmin Brits again. Sciver-Brunt couldn't launch the ball out the ground. She's been so good, so reliable, but with the pace taken off the ball she didn't get hold of it. It was six or out.

    A huge blow for England. A huge, huge blow.

    Gulp.

    This game swings again with the massive, massive wicket of Nat Sciver-Brunt. She has clunked a catch high to long-on and once you see Tazmin Brits standing under the catch you know it is going to be taken.

    Is that the key wicket?

    An unbelievable over for England. Exactly what they needed. But this is going to down to the wire. This game will be an absolute thriller.

  17. Eng 131-3published at 16 overs

    Need 34 runs from 24 balls

    Nat Sciver-Brunt finds the boundary again! Shabnim Ismail buries her head in her shirt at the end of the over. It has cost 14.

    The game swings back England's way.

    I love how calm Nat Sciver-Brunt is out there. Almost like she's in total control.

    Need 40 from 27 balls

    Ismail responds with a superb yorker.

    Cricket is so good.
