  1. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    I think Dunkley was home but this will be tight.

  2. Umpire review

    You know when I said it was all a bit frantic...

    Has Sophia Dunkley been run out?

  3. Georgia Elwiss
    England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Well that certainly helps doesn't it?

  4. Eng 9-0

    Five wides!

    It's all a bit frantic already.

  5. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    No cheers for that four! This outfield is rapid.

  6. Eng 4-0

    This might settle the nerves...

    Danni Wyatt sweeps the second ball and gets it up and over short fine leg. Two fielders attempt to chase it down but cannot get there.

  7. Eng 0-0

    Target 165

    Never mind how we're feeling. How will Danni Wyatt and Sophia Dunkley be feeling?

    The pressure is on.

    Spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba has the ball in hand.

  8. One thing I will say is India almost chased 170 on this pitch yesterday against Australia.

    Australia's attack is better than South Africa's...

  9. Well, well.

    It's game well and truly on.

    How are we all feeling? Still confident, England fans?

  10. That's me done then. It's advantage South Africa at the halfway stage.

    Matthew Henry will take you through England's chase. Reckon England still have a chance?

  11. South Africa opener Laura Wolvaardt: "There wasn't too much in it for the bowlers. We were hoping for more but hopefully with runs on the board we can put pressure on them early.

    "Ideally we would have had 170 or 180 but hopefully, like I said, we can take early wickets."

  12. South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt is speaking to the TV cameras. She looks very happy with South Africa's performance at the halfway stage. Full quotes to come.

  13. Looks like TMS have a great interview lined up. If you're not listening already, get it on!

  14. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    England will have to bat well. They will have to regroup. There are a few girls that look fed up and intimidated.

  15. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    England have a mountainous task on their hands in a World Cup semi-final after an innings that has gone badly wrong.

    They lost their heads. Have they lost their grips on this semi-final?

  16. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport in Cape Town

    Bowling the last over is never easy.

    But unfortunately, the response there from Katherine Sciver-Brunt did not look good.

    South Africa have the momentum.

  17. England need 165 runs to win

    SA 164-4

    Finished with a four. England are up against it in this World Cup semi-final.

  18. SA 160-4

    Shot! Kapp breaks the 160-mark with a slap through the covers for four.

  19. SA 156-4

    Another single. Better from England.

    Aly: Unnecessary reaction from the more experienced England player...Anger won't create confident players or a happy team. Sad to see.
