Nondumiso Shangase never looked under control of this one and she goes with hard hands at it and away from her body. The ball strikes her hands and pops out.  Both batters were ball watching and did not go for the single but Nat Sciver-Brunt did back up a fair bit before returning inside her crease at the bowler's end. The throw from the deep was good by Nondumiso Shangase, though and Sune Luus gathers this and removes the bails at the non-striker's end and appeals for a runout.

Annerie Dercksen dives to her left and ends up diving over the ball. It goes under her body and races away.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! England are getting a taste of their own medicine from the game in the league stage. Good length wide of off, Tammy Beaumont shuffles across around her right and looks to run this down to the third man region. Gets a faint edge and is caught by the keeper. Tammy sends this upstairs and UltraEdge shows a clear spike as the ball is next to the bat of Tammy Beaumont. England loses Tammy and a review.

WIDE! On a length wide outside off, Tammy Beaumont pokes at it but misses out. Wided.

Pitched up, on off, Nat Sciver-Brunt gets on the front foot and dabs it down on the off side. What a start for South Africa. A double wicket-maiden!

OUT! DRAGGED ON! Two wickets in the first over for Marizanne Kapp! The chase could not have started any worse for England! Kapp drags the length back and it is outside off. Knight hangs on the back foot and looks to play it away on the off side with an angled bat. She goes at it with her hands and her feet go nowhere. The ball catches the inside edge before bouncing into the stumps. A three-baller for Knight.

Keeps it full, around the off stump, Knight presses forward and taps it to cover.

Fuller in length, attacking the front pad, Heather Knight brings her bat out in front of the front pad to keep it out.

OUT! TIMBER! Marizanne Kapp produces a beauty! This is the nip-backer from Kapp, on a good length, on off and middle. Amy Jones leans ahead with her bat out in front but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Jones leaves a yawning gap between the bat and the pad. The ball jags back to go through the gate and knock down the stumps. A two-ball duck for Amy.

Kapp is right on the money straight away! On top of off, on a good length, Amy Jones gets on top of the bounce and stabs it down on the off side.
