twenty third over: South Africa 92-2 ( Wolvaardt 39; Luus 11) Sciver once more and a comedy little bit of fielding as a Luus drive manages to evade two gamers who look like diving by means of jelly. Pretty 4 although.

WICKET! Brits c Cross b Sciver 23 (South Africa 74-2)
A CATCH STICKS! Brits tries to hoop Sciver for 4 however Cross is at deep positive leg and the Copydex works eventually.
02:02
18th over: South Africa 69-1 ( Wolvaardt 34; Brits 23) The witching hour: England understand it, South African know, it as Knight turns to Ecclestone, who has her lengthy hair in a really neat Dutch braid climbing half the way in which down her again. South Africa are watchful, Brits crushed by a magnificence earlier than citing the fifty partnership with a single.
01:58
seventeenth over: South Africa 66-1 ( Wolvaardt 33; Brits 22) Brits is beginning to pull up the armchair and heat her socks by the hearth. She takes six off Brunt’s over, together with a low-armed pull-jab for 4.
Up to date

sixteenth over: South Africa 60-1 ( Wolvaardt 31; Brits 15) The solar is setting now, the sky is now not periwinkle blue. It appears to be like chilly however on the grassy banks the spectators are nonetheless in T-shirts. Six from Cross’s over, together with a pulled 4 by Wolvaardt. They take DRINKS, with South Africa needing one other 176 from 34 overs.
01:49
fifteenth over: South Africa 54-1 ( Wolvaardt 27; Brits 15) I’m considering: almost Ecclestone time? Three from Brunt’s fifth over, and an lbw enchantment which Knight declines to overturn. Brunt wrinkles her nostril.
Raf is just not impressed with the win predictor:
Raf Nicholson (@RafNicholson)
England 66% in line with the win predictor. That appears loopy on condition that SA have 9 wickets in hand and are actually not chasing a excessive whole. #CWC22
14th over: South Africa 51-1 ( Wolvaardt 25; Brits 15) An unpleasant wanting bottom-handed swipe by Britts off Cross – however all of them depend. A stress-relieving 4..
By comparability, at this stage, England had been 51-3.
01:41
thirteenth over: South Africa 46-1 ( Wolvaardt 24; Brits 11) Ah, there may be yet one more for Shrubsole. Brits releases a few of her power with a 4 right down to lengthy on, however then absorbs 4 extra energy-sapping dots.
Correspondence!
SyClopp (@psyclop5)
@tjaldred Thanks heaps for overlaying the #CWC22. Following the obo from wet Portland, the place Hussen’s remark ‘England could not catch a chilly in the mean time’ after Kate Cross’ drops Wolvaardt on her personal bowling warmed the cockles no extent!
twelfth over: South Africa 41-1 ( Wolvaardt 23; Brits 7) 5 dots in a row from Cross, Nasser thinks he can sense South Africa getting itchy toes. Certain sufficient, Brits has a fizzy swing to the final ball however can solely discover midwicket. A maiden. Tremendous bowling.
01:33
eleventh over: South Africa 41-1 ( Wolvaardt 23; Brits 7) Presumably an over too many for Shrubsole, as Brits pulls a tasty brief one for 4 after which Shrubsole leaks a large. If anybody is awake on the market, do let me know!
01:31
tenth over: South Africa 35-1 ( Wolvaardt 21; Brits 1) Oh pricey, oh pricey, pricey. One other catch goes down. It wasn’t simple, however it was gettable, as Wolvaardt hits Cross straight again. Cross does the arduous bit, leaping within the air, however can’t maintain onto the catch along with her proper hand and, as if it gradual movement, it falls to the bottom.
01:25
ninth over: South Africa 32-1 ( Wolvaardt 21; Brits 1) Ignore what I stated about Shrubsole, she reappears from the opposite finish instantly with one other niggardly over, she now has 4 overs one for six.
01:23
eighth over: South Africa 31-1 ( Wolvaardt 21; Brits 0) Sufficient of Shrubsole for now, sensible of Knight to maintain her in her pocket for later. Kate Cross takes over – oof – and has Wolvaardt in bother immediately, backside edging one which zig zags behind to Amy Jones, who doesn’t fairly decide it up cleanly. Presumably distracted, Wolvaardt swings at an outswinger and utterly misses. She lastly hits the candy spot with the final ball, driving uppishly previous two fielders for 4.
On the grassy banks behind, some younger women lounge, choosing on the grass and chew the cud. An ideal day.

01:16
seventh over: South Africa 27-1 ( Wolvaardt 17; Brits 0) Wolvaardt eyes up a brief one from Brunt and pulls it with panache to the boundary. A slower ball is pushed, moderately fantastically truly for one more, Brunt appears to be like severely unimpressed.
01:14
sixth over: South Africa 18-1 ( Wolvaardt 8; Brits 0) Very good by Shrubsole who has acquired the conker on a string this morning. By the way, England’s fielders are struggling barely with the glare from the setting solar. it might have been what discombobulated Beaumont when she put down Wolvaardt within the second over.
01:11
WICKET! Lee b Shrubsole 9 (South Africa 18-1)
A annoyed Lee has a wild swing at Shrubsole, however it’s a booming inswinger and, good evening Mary, she loses her off stump!
01:09
fifth over: South Africa 16-0 (Lee 7; Wolvaardt 8) One other sparse over from Brunt, as Wolvaardt picks a pair off her first ball however can’t decide any extra. Good imply preliminary spells right here by England’s opening pair.
01:05
4th over: South Africa 14-0 (Lee 7; Wolvaardt 6) A neat over of inswingers from Shrubsole.
And information from Hamilton, the place Bangladesh have crushed Pakistan by 9 runs, leaving England and Pakistan the one winless groups. An enormous win for Bangladesh of their first World Cup competitors.
01:01
third over: South Africa 13-0 (Lee 7; Wolvaardt 5) It’s all go this morning, a bit a lot if you’ve simply rolled away from bed. First Lee – who by the way averages 63.7 in opposition to England – riffs Brunt to the legside boundary, then South Africa go for a, er, glamorous, single which might have been out had Nat Sciver been in a position to hit the stumps from midwicket.
00:57
2nd over: South Africa 7-0 (Lee 2; Wolvaardt 4) Ye gods, there goes catch primary this morning, as Wolvaardt drives a contact waspishly to level the place the ball goes straight into Beaumont’s breadbasket and out once more. She appears to be like dismayed, as does Shrubsole, who rests her head in her hand.
00:53
1st over: South Africa 5-0 (Lee 1; Wolvaardt 4) It’s Katherine Brunt with the brand new ball – England shall be hoping for a a lot improved efficiency within the subject to the final banana-skin effort in opposition to West Indies the place they missed six – SIX – probabilities within the subject. And as I write that, Wolvaardt edges Lee simply previous the diving palms of Knight at slip, who went with two palms initially and couldn’t fairly stretch to grab the ball, which whizzes right down to the boundary.

Thanks Jim! And good morning from a black Manchester the place a lone blackbird (?) was trilling within the backyard after I let the dawg out.

Because the England gamers undergo their heat ups in a gloriously brilliant wanting New Zealand and the sky past the window stays black as treacle right here at my brother’s home in Leeds I believe the time has come at hand you over to the fantastic Tanya Aldred to take you thru the second half of this recreation. Thankyou and goodnight/morning!

Simply to say… there’s a thriller happening between Pakistan and Bangladesh!
Take a look at Match Particular (@bbctms)
What a recreation that is…
Pakistan want 40 runs to win from 5 overs in opposition to Bangladesh!
Sidra Amin has simply scored #TeamPakistan‘s first century at a Ladies’s World Cup!
Hats off to Marizanne Kapp who picked up 5-45 off her ten overs. She had success by taking tempo off the ball, I’m wondering if England may have picked up on this and intention to bowl their cutters and slower balls, it could possibly be the way in which to go on this used floor.
Nicely performed too to Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones who did a rescue job after a dodgy begin. England had been in strife however these two mixed very effectively to re-build after which rack up some runs within the center overs. Nasser Hussain on comms thinks 235 is round par, and who’re we to argue? My shillings are on Kate Cross to have a ‘massive day trip’ because the these within the England camp wish to say.
00:23
fiftieth over: England 235-9 (Ecclestone 15 Shrubsole 2)
England hustle to grab 8 runs off Kapp and South Africa’s remaining over.
South Africa will want 236 runs to win. England must discover a method to cease them or else be staring down the barrel of an early World Cup exit. Thrilling!
