OUT! Bowled. Charlie Dean to Nonkululeko Mlaba. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. South Africa bundled out for 69 runs, their second-lowest score in the Women's World Cup! Their batters struggled to score against the disciplined England bowling attack. Sinalo Jafta was the only batter to reach double figures, top scoring with 22. Linsey Smith lead the bowling effort with three key wickets including both openers, while the skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt and Sophie Ecclestone picked up two wickets each. Can England chase down the target comfortably, or will the Proteas manage to defend their low total? Join us shortly for the run chase.
