on the toes, fired down through fine leg, and England win in emphatic fashion!
SA Women vs ENG Women, 3rd ODI at Potchefstroom, SA vs ENG [W], Dec 11 2024 - Match Result
ENG Women won by 6 wickets (with 24 balls remaining) (DLS method)
10.15pm Well, that was the longest contest imaginable, but England have prevailed in superb fashion, Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones coming together in a key stand of 90 in 63 balls after Marizanne Kapp's three-for had wrecked the top-order. It was a rather more stiff chase than might have been expected after limiting South Africa to 233, but it's a deserved result, and it hands England a 2-1 series win in the ODIs, after their 3-0 in the T20Is. Next stop, the one-off Test match in Bloemfontein on Sunday.
I'm off to write up the report, from Miller, Matt and Ranjith, good night!
picks off another single, three away now
guided out through deep cover, lovely timing once more, nearly there!
leg-sided, can't beat the field, Kapp's under-arm shy could have been tight at the non-striker's end. But it wasn't
intercepted in the covers to cut off the run
deep in the crease, thumped at deep cover
works the single, England are taking this home with ease now
tucked to backward square leg for another single
well tracked at deep midwicket to cut off another boundary
mistimed into the leg-side, an inelegant thump but another single nonetheless
another single back past the bowler
deep in the crease, clipped to the on-side
eased down the ground for another single
nudged into the leg-side for another single
tapped into the off-side, needed to be quick on the single... but the shy goes wide
Hypocaust: "That is Tammy Beaumont's fastest ODI fifty (35 balls), and Amy Jones is the second fastest English woman to score 2,000 ODI runs in terms of balls faced (2,398)."
Eased out through the off-side, good running to keep the score flowing
Pulled out to backward square leg
