South Africa’s captain, Sune Luus: (apologies I missed the first bit)
“I think we have a glimpse of the kind of cricket we want to play, we just want to put in an all-round performance.”

England captain, Heather Knight: “Really happy, a brilliant performance to back up the other day. Today was even better, showed real intent at the top and Sophia’s hundred - really special when that happens. We’ve changed the [batting] order to add it to our strengths - to make the order a bit more rounded.

“I thought it was really impressive how the bowlers wanted to keep attacking and keeping wickets. Wongy banging it in and adding something a little bit different. The white ball doesn’t swing for very long, and we wanted to give the Nat the chance with that. Dean is a really aggressive, an attacking off spinner, she’s done a great job.”

The player of the match is: Sophia Dunkley for her first ODI century.
