Charlie Dean to Mlaba, out Bowled!! Mlaba is the last batter to get out. A tossed up delivery around middle and leg, Mlaba looks to whip this away, gets beaten altogether and the furniture has been disturbed. A dominating performance by England Women as they start walking back to the pavilion. The head coach of the England Women's team - Charlotte Edwards welcomes all the players back with a bright smile on her face. Mlaba b Charlie Dean 3(8)

Charlie Dean to Ayabonga Khaka, FOUR, a welcome boundary for South Africa Women! Loopy delivery around off and Ayabonga Khaka drills it through covers for a rollicking boundary
17.3
W
Ecclestone to Sinalo Jafta, out Bowled!! The only batter who got into double digits has been dismissed. She fought hard, but with lack of support from the other end, even she has succumbed under the pressure. Advances down the wicket to whip this across the line, gets beaten and the stumps have been rattled. They're nine down! Sinalo Jafta b Ecclestone 22(36) [4s-3]

W
Charlie Dean to Masabata Klaas, out Bowled!! Klaas has been castled! Charlie Dean joins the act. A straighter delivery around off, Masabata Klaas looks to defend, but gets beaten as the ball doesn't spin much. The off pole goes for a toss and South African Women are eight down. Proving to be an embarrassing performance by South Africa Women. Masabata Klaas b Charlie Dean 3(13)

Charlie Dean to Sinalo Jafta, FOUR, goes over the top of mid-off! Tossed up outside off, Jafta shimmies down for a big shot and gets just about enough elevation to beat the fielder's leaping effort
14.3
Charlie Dean to Masabata Klaas, 1 run, oh awkwardly kept out! Full on middle, Klaas goes back, plays across the line and works it through square leg. Couldn't have afforded to miss that one

W
Ecclestone to de Klerk, out Caught by Knight!! Ecclestone joins the party! Hard to keep her out of it. Tossed up and drifting in around off from round the wicket, de Klerk clears the front leg to drive through the off-side but is undone by the turn. They've been undone by Linsey Smith's lack of turn earlier, and now by the turn from Ecclestone. The edge is found and is taken at slip. de Klerk c Knight b Ecclestone 3(11)

W
Nat Sciver-Brunt to Chloe Tryon, out Caught by Capsey!! Tryon swings her bat in frustration as the leading edge pops up to short midwicket. What is happening out there. Back of a length on middle and leg, stops on her perhaps as she looks to clip it through the on-side. Closes the face early and it's an easy catch for Capsey. South Africa just not able to stop the flow of wickets. Chloe Tryon c Capsey b Nat Sciver-Brunt 2(10)
8.1
W
Nat Sciver-Brunt to Bosch, out Lbw!! That looks absolutely plumb and up goes the finger. Bosch has a chat with her partner before starting to make the long walk back. No point reviewing that. Good length ball angling in, Bosch is rooted to the crease, plays across the line and misses completely. That struck her right in front of middle and would've crashed into middle and leg. Wickets continue to tumble in Guwahati as captain Sciver-Brunt strikes with her very first delivery. Bosch lbw b Nat Sciver-Brunt 6(5) [4s-1]

Bell to Bosch, FOUR, crashed through the covers! Full outside off, in the driving zone and Bosch laces it through the gap

Bell to Sinalo Jafta, FOUR, nicely driven on the up! Good length in the channel, Jafta doesn't go too hard, keeps her balance nicely and punches it through cover-point
5.1
W
Smith to Kapp, out Bowled!! The slider is wreaking havoc out there. They just can't get to grips with it. Round the wicket, lands on a length and then comes in with the arm. Kapp plays outside the line in her forward defence and is cleaned up through the gate. Rinse and repeat from Smith. South Africa in tatters. Kapp b Smith 4(6) [4s-1]
4.4
W
Bell to Luus, out Bowled!! The off stump goes for a walk and South Africa have lost three in no time! Bell this time. Pitched up, inviting the drive and getting it to cut back sharply off the seam. Lazy footwork from Luus with her front foot not getting to the pitch. It goes through the gate and crashes into off stump. England on a roll in Guwahati. Luus b Bell 2(11)

Smith to Kapp, FOUR, error in length and Kapp doesn't need a second invitation. Tossed up, overpitched outside off, she gets forward and drives firmly through extra cover
3.1
W
Smith to Tazmin Brits, out Bowled!! Linsey Smith is doing major damage with the new ball! First Wolvaardt, now Brits - two gun batters taken out in two overs. Brits was averaging over 90 in ODIs this year, but fails to get behind this length ball that slides in with the arm. Plays for turn that isn't there, gets beaten on the inside edge and it goes right through the gate to take out leg stump. The round-arm of Smith is doing all the magic. Tazmin Brits b Smith 5(7) [4s-1]
1.2
W
Smith to Wolvaardt, out Caught&Bowled!! Smith is overjoyed as she accepts a simple return catch. Huge wicket upfront for England. Drifting in from round the wicket, Wolvaardt looks to work it through the on-side, closes the face too soon and it pops up off the leading edge back to Smith. The South Africa captain puts her head down and starts walking back. Wolvaardt c and b Smith 5(5) [4s-1]

Bell to Tazmin Brits, FOUR, she's taken no time to put that previous ball out of her mind. Down the track she comes, it's full and wide, swinging away and Brits throws her hands at it, slapping it over point

Bell to Wolvaardt, FOUR, off the mark in streaky fashion! Wolvaardt is tempted into a drive away from the body, it swings away off a length, takes a thick edge and runs away past gully
