🏏 :engerland: England (and :walesisntit: Wales) Cricket 2025

Ecclestone to Kapp, OUT

goes a mile up, and Ecclestone does the trick yet again! Talk about world-class! Dangles the carrot on a fullish length just outside off. Kapp’s eyes light up and she cannot resist a bite at it. Looks to tonk it into the river, but she gets under it a fair bit. No distance at all and the bat face also opens upon contact. Dean runs back from mid on and makes no mistake. Massive wicket for England at this stage!

Marizanne Kapp c Dean b Ecclestone 42 (33b 4x4 1x6) SR: 127.27

191-4 from 36.3

Much needed wicket IMHO

Kapp c Dean b Ecclestone 42 (SA 191-4)

Bell to Jafta, OUT

cleans her up, and SA lose two in a trice yet again! Back of a length in the channel and this seems to just straighten a shade. Jafta plays the angle and plays down the middle and off stump line, only to watch in disbelief as the ball breezes past the outside edge and thunders into middle and off stump. Bell on the board too, and SA five down now!

Sinalo Jafta b Bell 1 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25

Bell to Wolvaardt, 2 runs

a hundred to savour! Cometh the semi-final, cometh the South Africa captain! Her first in Women’s World Cup cricket, and this knock has kept SA afloat and given them hope!

Ecclestone to Dercksen, OUT

reverses her stance, Ecclestone has four! Dercksen makes a meal of her reverse … something. Half-sweep, half-hoick … all stumps splattered!

Annerie Dercksen b Ecclestone 4 (14b 0x4 0x6) SR: 28.57

That was a really unlucky dismissal to be fair, need to see a video to explain it…

Kapp to Nat Sciver-Brunt, OUT

huge wicket! That is surely the match! NSB is turned inside-out by a perfect length ball, shaping away and kissing the outside-edge! Jafta gathers the snick, and now England are in all manner of strife!
