Eng-W v Sa-W on Wednesday it is then, ready for them to get skittled out by Alana King in the final

I think the Safferettes might have something to say about that.

I doubt they will succumb as easily as they did in the group game.

I didn’t actually say whom was going to be skittled out by the spin Queen King

My bad Sir!

Just started watching SA-W v ENG-W..

SA-W are currently 103-0 after 20 overs

Ecclestone to Brits, OUT

chopped on, and Ecclestone breaks through yet again! England’s champion bowler may not be a hundred percent fit but she can still make an impact. This is speared in full on middle and leg. Brits shapes for the reverse but she has not looked comfortable playing that stroke all afternoon. Gets into a tangle and in the end, only manages a bottom edge onto the stumps. Ecclestone is delighted, and England, by extension, are delighted. Big moment in the game!

Tazmin Brits b Ecclestone 45 (65b 6x4 1x6) SR: 69.23

116-1 from 22.2

With one comes two :-

Ecclestone to Bosch, OUT

off stump flattened, and Sophie Ecclestone is doing Sophie Ecclestone things again! Seems like Ecclestone pre-empts Bosch coming down the track, and zips this in, zoning into off stump. Bosch charges but only ends up yorking herself. Cannot get her bat down in time and off stump is left in a mess soon after. Ecclestone has two and SA, from a position of strength, have now allowed England to establish a foothold!

Anneke Bosch b Ecclestone 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

116-2 from 22.5

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Luus, OUT

another chop-on, and England are ripping through this middle order now! Cross-seam, bowled into the track outside off. Luus thinks this is there to be hacked away but is perhaps a touch too early into the stroke. Loses her shape too and loses her off stump soon after. Another rather tame dismissal. Not that England would mind. SA have lost three in very quick succession now!

Sune Luus b Nat Sciver-Brunt 1 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 16.66

119-3 from 25.3
