    Chloe Tryon drops it. It was tough but catchable. England run two.

  3. Eng 163-5

    This is proving to be a decent final over. Ayabonga Khaka sees Dani GIbson moving to her leg side and bowls wider outside off. Dot ball.

  4. Eng 163-5

    Wide from Ayabonga Khaka gifts England an extra. She goes straighter and Freya Kemp takes a single.

  5. Eng 161-5

    A play and a miss by Freya Kemp.

    One thing those wickets do help is England's running. Kemp and Gibson are rapid.

    Ayabonga Khaka is the bowler and restricts Dani Gibson to a single.

  8. Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson are the two batters in. England will want a big final over here.

    So well deserved from the England captain. She has timed the ball better than anyone I have seen play at the Oval. That is a statement return from her. South Africa knows what to come. There are some big-hitting all-rounders coming up.

    For Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt, they have potentially put on a partnership which could see England in a final against Australia at Lord's on Sunday.

    Heather Knight joins her skipper in the dug-out. She advances down the wicket but couldn't quite get hold of it and slices to the fielder at cover.

    A sublime innings comes to an end. Nat Sciver-Brunt hoicks it into the leg side and finds the fielder.

    With 75 off 47, that may well be a match-winning innings from the returning captain.

    This could be a semi-final winning innings from the England captain.

  13. Eng 154-3

    Sciver-Brunt 73, Knight 58

    Nat Sciver-Brunt misses out on a full toss. But she can be forgiven.

  14. Eng 153-3

    She can't stop scoring. Nat Sciver Brunt makes some room and drags the ball to the leg-side boundary.

    Remember, England were 23-3 after 3.2 overs.

  15. Firdose Moonda

    England have got a fair amount of runs already, given South Africa's form.

    If Nat Sciver-Brunt is at 70-80% fitness, you would want to play her because she can make this impact.

  16. De Klerk's lengths have been all over the place today, as this graphic demonstrates.

    This won't do Nadine de Klerk's frown any good. Nat Sciver-Brunt hits a huge six over midwicket.

    Pierced the fielders. Four more to Nat Sciver-Brunt pierces the fielders for four. Bowler Nadine de Klerk looks deflated.

    This was an incredibly expensive over. This is not the Ayabonga Khaka we're used to.

  20. How's stat?!

    Jem Green

    • Knight & Wilson 115 v Australia
    • Knight & N. Sciver-Brunt 110* v South Africa today
