7.1 to GWHM Perera, Oh, word! All class from Klaas! Lands the length ball just on off and shapes the ball away late. Perera plays down the wrong line and sees her off stump rattled. South Africa have their first wicket and will want to make further inroads, quickly, particularly with the weather around. 30/1
9.6 to AMCJK Athapaththu, Huge appeal for lbw and the umpire agrees. Think the impact will be the question here. Did the ball strike her in line? Oh, it's umpire's call. Will the ball go on to hit the stumps? Indeed... clattering into off stump. And Athapaththu has to depart. Lovely inswinger decking back into Athapaththu on off, she lunges forward trying to get outside the line. Just isn't able to do that, and the umpire's decision goes in favour of the bowler. 37/2

13.6 to WK Dilhari, This time it's straight to the fielder! It's full outside off and Dilhari looks to go inside out but can't get any height on that. Catching practice for the South African skipper at cover. 63/3

Edged behind! Meso has a catch on World Cup debut! Mlaba with an excellent final over. Goes on a length outside off, Gunaratne looked for the cut but she could only manage a top edge and Meso makes no mistake. 105 on the board for Sri Lanka and we'll know the DLS adjusted target soon!. 21/0
14.1 to H Samarawickrama, Simple catch at midwicket! Sri Lanka suddenly have two new batters at the crease. This is on a length outside off, Harshitha went for the slog sweep but was early into the shot and it spooned up off the top edge. Easy pickings for Laura Wolvaardt, who has two catches in two balls now.. 63/4
19.3 to NND Silva, Dances down, swings big, but picks out deep midwicket! Tossed up full on off, and Silva can't get the power required to clear the field there. Anneke Bosch is the sub fielder and she makes no mistake. 103/5
19.6 to RMVD Gunaratne, Edged behind! Meso has a catch on World Cup debut! Mlaba with an excellent final over. Goes on a length outside off, Gunaratne looked for the cut but she could only manage a top edge and Meso makes no mistake. 105 on the board for Sri Lanka and we'll know the DLS adjusted target soon!. 105/7
