9.25pm And that's the end of that. A hugely impressive performance from England - finished off by Ecclestone with both ball and earlier, bat, thanks to her 33 not out from 12 balls. That capped a hard-hitting approach all down the order, with Alice Capsey lighting the fuse after the first-ball loss of Sophia Dunkley, but after that it was all about the kids with the ball. Issy Wong with a fine maiden T20I wicket to Freya Kemp, the pick of the bowlers with two well-earned wickets on her own debut.

And with that, England complete a clean-sweep of the white-ball legs of the multi-format series. 3-0, 3-0 and a drawn Test giving them a 14-2 points victory. Can't say fairer than that. They head off to the Commonwealth Games next week with a real shot at a medal, thanks to a rejuvenated approach that, whisper it, could even give the Aussies a run for their money. As for South Africa, there's not a lot of joy. Nonkululenko Mlaba was excellent with the ball and Tamzin Brits hung in there with the bat. But they've had a rough time of it on this tour, and have been soundly beaten. Thanks for joining us, until the next time, good night!

W
Ecclestone to Tryon, OUT

bowled her! Round the wicket, right up to the blockhole, Tryon swings for the hills and gets her timbers splattered!

Ecclestone to Tryon, FOUR runs

clawed through square leg, South Africa keep swinging to the last

Ecclestone to Tucker, 1 run

down the track, under-edge, and Jones can't gather! Missed the off-stump by a whisker and nutmegged the keeper after a deflection off the pads

Ecclestone to Tryon, 1 run

hauled to the on-side, from outside off

Issy Wong 4-0-40-1
Freya Kemp 3-0-18-2

Right, just the small matter of 48 from the last. Could have been a temptation to try Kemp once more, but it's Ecclestone to finish off

18.6
Wong to Tryon, no run

another slowie, outside off, Tryon had made room to leg and can't connect

18.5

Wong to Tryon, FOUR runs

bouncer, Tryon is expecting that, and rocks back on a flat pull through midwicket

Jones reverts to standing back after that one

18.5
5w
Wong to Tryon, 5 wide

misses her line, fired past everything, on the full

18.4
Wong to Tryon, no run

beauty! Wong serves up the back-of-the-hander too, outside off, and beating a wild swish

18.3
2
Wong to Tryon, 2 runs

dragged from outside off, to the on-side

Rose: "Valiant maybe, but not a good innings. <105 SR with this target is a huge negative impact" I'd say she wasn't solely at fault...

Kemp to Tucker, FOUR runs

and another slower ball, swinging across the right-hander again, should have been toe-ended to cover but a sloppy misfield gives away the boundary. Still, that was very impressive

17.5
Kemp to Tucker, no run

brilliant. A fluent, swinging, length delivery, another slower ball, curling away outside off, and through to the keeper

17.4
1
Kemp to Tryon, 1 run

four from four, another one looped up and landing on middle and leg, clipped uppishly to midwicket

17.3
Kemp to Tryon, no run

outstanding again, another slower ball, swinging away on the perfect length, outside off, and through to the keeper

A valiant innings, but all in vain. Here's Tucker

17.2
W
Kemp to Brits, OUT

back of the hand again, hoisted to deep midwicket, holds up in the breeze, and swallowed by Ecclestone! Just lovely bowling, trusting her variations and hooking the big fish!

Tazmin Brits c Ecclestone b Kemp 59 (57b 6x4 0x6 67m) SR: 103.5
17.1

Kemp to Brits, 2 runs

back of the hand, very cheeky delivery, would have been a wide but the batter was committed and thinned an edge down through deep third, good slide from Sciver

This is sinking fast. One more tight over and South Africa will need more than just snookers. Here's Kemp, with a switch of ends
