17.5 to T Brits, And gone! Brits' knock ends and this has been a good one. Excellent catch from Katherine Sciver-Brunt - she had to move across to her left and leap a bit to hold on to the ball that was travelling. Brits managed to middle the heave down the ground off a full ball but didn't get the desired elevation.. 142/2

13.4 to L Wolvaardt, There's the breakthrough! You cannot keep Ecclestone away for long. England strike and is that the opening they needed so badly? Fires it in on a length around middle and leg, it turns away just a touch. Wolvaardt goes back to turn it around but gets a leading edge towards point.. 96/1
18.2 to CL Tryon, Massive wicket this! Ecclestone gets Tryon. Bowls it quick and on a length around middle and off, Tryon looks to pull it away but does so straight to Nat Sciver-Brunt at deep midwicket.. 145/3
18.4 to N de Klerk, And de Klerk falls to an ungainly hoick! Ecclestone doing to South Africa what Ecclestone does to South Africa. Fires it full and just outside off, de Klerk goes for the slog and inside-edges it onto the stumps. England right back in it now.. 145/4

5.1 to SIR Dunkley, half-volley tailing in full on middle stump, Dunkley tries to flick this over midwicket but miscues it more off the splice of the bat. Brits backpedals from the ring at midwicket and reaches up to take a head height catch.. 53/1
5.3 to A Capsey, bounced out! What a tag-team effort completed by Brits at midwicket on the circle! Ismail cramped Capsey with the short ball angled in on middle and leg. It was an identical ball to the one in her previous over that Wyatt swerved under that went for four byes. This time Capsey can't escape trying to play a shot more out of self-preservation than attack. It floats to the right of Brits, who tracks five yards to her right with the ball dipping fast on her but she lunges full extension with her right paw sticking out and claws onto it at ankle height before it can hit the turf.. 53/2
19.3 to HC Knight, Should be the clincher for South Africa! Ismail knocks Knight over. Cape Town knows what it means. South Africa know what it means. Spears it in on a length on middle and leg, Knight looks to heave it away but gets it off her back leg onto the stumps. All the fielders engulf Ismail in a hug.. 153/8

10.3 to DN Wyatt, Brits takes another toughie and Wyatt has to trudge back! Khaka bowls it off-pace and angles it on the pads. Wyatt helps it away and thinks she has done enough to beat short fine leg but Brits uses her long reach to slide and grab that.. 85/3
17.1 to AE Jones, Khaka strikes and that's that for Jones! Full ball outside off, Jones slinks down and looks to go over the off side. Was a safe ploy given all four fielders are deep on the on side. But she fails to get the elevation and hits it straight to cover.. 137/5
17.5 to S Ecclestone, Second wicket in the over for Khaka and the decibel levels in Cape Town have gone up! Full length delivery, not much pace for the batter. Ecclestone looks to go over covers but ends up slicing it. Bosch yet again keeps her calm and takes that. South Africa!. 140/6
17.6 to K Sciver-Brunt, Trapped in front! Khaka's third in the over, fourth wicket overall in the innings. Sciver-Brunt probably knew it and was walking, before signaling for the review just as the countdown reached zero. She charged down to flick the length ball around off to the on side but missed and was hit low on the front pad. No inside edge, three reds. KSB goes, and England lose a review too.. 140/7

16.2 to Nat Sciver-Brunt, NADINE DE KLERK HAS NAT SCIVER-BRUNT! She roars. She celebrates. And so does Newlands! She continues to rely on the slower one outside off. Bowls it full and keeps it away from her hitting arc. Sciver-Brunt looks to go downtown but toe ends it to long-on. Brits is cool as a cucumber as she takes it and then celebrates.. 132/4
