    The speed she reviewed it suggests she did hit it.

  2. England review

    HUUUUGE MOMENT.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt is given lbw.

    She reviews immediately. It's out if she hasn't hit it...

    BBC Test Match Special

    A mighty shot!

  4. 6 runs

    Eng 101-3

    SIX! This was much, much needed from Heather Knight.

    There are England fans on their feet applauding in the stands.

  5. Firdose Moonda

    If England are going to get closer now, this is the key over they need to target.

  6. Eng 92-3

    Need 73 runs from 48 balls

    Brilliant fielding from South Africa skipper Sune Luus at mid-off. It is 3.5 overs since England have scored a boundary now.

    Their worm looks to have taken a worrying right turn.

    The worm shows England are nine runs ahead of South Africa. England are 92 for 3 after 12 overs. At the same stage South Africa were 83 for 0.BBC Sport

  7. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    The last thing England need is a dodgy run-out.

  8. Eng 91-3

    There are balls flying everywhere with Nat Sciver-Brunt twice having to dive to make her ground.

  9. Firdose Moonda
    Cricket writer for Cricinfo

    That was quite a roar for a dot ball.

  10. Eng 88-3

    Dot... Dot...

    Pressure.

  11. Eng 88-3

    Need 77 runs from 54 balls

    Knight sensibly works singles from her first two deliveries.

    I reckon one of these two have to be there at the end for England. Next batter in Amy Jones watches on from the dug out.

    The worm shows England are 16 runs ahead of South Africa. England are 88 for 3 after 11 overs. At the same stage South Africa were 72 for 0.BBC Sport

    Suddenly the boundaries have dried up for England.

  13. England need 80 runs from 57 balls to reach the World Cup final.

    Time for a captain's knock, Heather.

  14. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    She goes for the pull, the fielder made good ground and takes a comfortable catch.

    Wyatt didn't get anything like what she would have wanted on it.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Wyatt c Brits b Khaka 34 (Eng 85-3)

    Wyatt gone! The drinks break strikes again with England's opener pulls a ball heading down the leg side into the hands of short fine leg.

    It's Tazmin Brits with the catch again. Bucket hands.

  16. Eng 84-2

    Ayabonga Khaka begins proceedings after drinks as we enter the business end of this semi-final.

  17. Firdose Moonda
    Cricket writer on Test Match Special

    Danni Wyatt is key for England, she struggled in the groups but she's now found her timing.

    I think England have still got this and it will take something special from South Africa.

  18. Eng 84-2

    Need 81 runs from 60 balls

    England are ahead of the required run-rate as it stands. Only just but they're ahead. There are three more dots in De Klerk's first over.

    If you need to grab a drink, this is your time.

    The worm shows England are 17 runs ahead of South Africa. England are 84 for 2 after 10 overs. At the same stage South Africa were 67 for 0.BBC Sport

  19. This was a sensational catch...

  20. Firdose Moonda
    Cricket writer for Cricinfo

    It's interesting to see Sune Luus with a huge smile on her face. The South Africa captain isn't under any pressure.

    Not so much the South African fielders. I think, like India in the other semi-final, that might be what lets them down.
