Tougher than it looked. South Africa were right on top with Kapp bowling beautifully in the power play but it just drifted in the middle overs, to the point where Nat Sciver-Brunt was able to do as she does so well with the pressure on. And Danni Wyatt-Hodge was just as important when the going was tough. So, England are two from two with Scotland and the West Indies to go, their next game against the former on Sunday. As for the Proteas, they will need to keep winning, their next outing in two days from now, also against Scotland. Alright, that’s me done – thanks for your company. Bye!

ENGLAND WIN BY SEVEN WICKETS (with 4 balls to spare)

Over extra cover for four! Nat Sciver-Brunt finishes the job.

19.2 overs: England 125-3 (Sciver-Brunt 48, Knight 0). Target 125.
