Khaka 以 D Gibson
Bye. FOUR! Ayabonga Khaka to Danielle Gibson. Length ball, wide outside off stump moves in front Steer, missed past third man for 4 runs. England have posted a competitive total of 169, fighting back after South Africa took the early advantage in the powerplay. Marzianne Kapp and Shabnim Ismail were excellent with the new top, taking three wickets inside four overs and putting England's top order under pressure. However the experienced duo of returning captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight staged a fine recovery, steadying the innings and then accelerating through the middle over. Both scored half-centuries in a magnificent 133-run stand, Sciver-Brunt's 75 leading the way. Both fell in the final overs, but have dragged England up to a total that looked beyond them early on. For South Africa, Shabnim Ismail and Nonkululeko Mlaba claimed two wickets each, now the pressure is on their batting line-up to chase this total and take their team into the final. Stay tuned for the run chase!
