Ismail to Sripali Weerakkody, out Bowled!! Doesn't matter now, another Sri Lankan batter has been done in by sheer pace, short of a length and holding its line around middle, Weerakkody was looking to nudge it towards the on-side and missed, hit the top of middle-stump. Sripali Weerakkody b Ismail 0(2)

Ismail to Lokusuriyage, out Bowled!! Pacy delivery from Ismail and it's too good for Lokusuriyage, on a length and holding its line around middle, Lokusuriyage was caught in her crease, the bat came down at an angle and the ball clattered into the middle-stump. South Africa are ending strongly now. Lokusuriyage b Ismail 9(15) [4s-1]

Kapp to Lokusuriyage, FOUR, clubbed, Kapp gets the yorker wrong, it's in the slot for Lokusuriyage wsho drills it back over the bowler's head, split the gap between the two fielders in the deep

Sekhukhune to Manodara, FOUR, this is turning out to be a fine cameo, tad too full and sliding down the leg-side, Manodara gets inside the line and helps it on its way, beats short fine and rolls away to the fence

Sekhukhune to Manodara, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Manodara, this is cheeky from the keeper, was setting herself for the paddle, Sekhukhune spotted it and went wider, Manodara reached out and ramped it over the keeper's head

Masabata Klaas to Manodara, FOUR, first real blooper of the night by South Africa, took her eyes off the ball at short third man and lets the ball slip through her hands - think it was Sekhukhune. Very full and wide of off, jammed towards short third man with an open face

Masabata Klaas to Nilakshi de Silva, out Bowled!! This was coming, no freebies on offer and Sri Lanka had to manufacture something by themselves, Nilakshi came down the track to a very full ball and yorked herself, played across the line and the stumps are in a mess. Nilakshi de Silva b Masabata Klaas 10(16)

van Niekerk to Ranasinghe, out Caught by Lee!! Lee appeals, then stops and then is delighted as the umpire's finger went up, must have been an edge there as Ranasinghe didn't bother to review. Strange little innings from the left-hander, certainly didn't look at home, went right across to a very full and very wide ball and was looking to play the slog sweep. Ranasinghe c Lee b van Niekerk 5(16)

Sekhukhune to Siriwardene, out Bowled!! Now, this is a big wicket, Sri Lanka needed their former captain to steady the ship, but rush of blood has consumed her. On a length and coming back with the angle, Shashikala pressed across on an almighty slog and missed, the middle-stump is rattled and Sri Lanka lose their fourth wicket. Siriwardene b Sekhukhune 21(27) [4s-2 6s-1]

Daniels to Siriwardene, FOUR, Sri Lanka getting a move on. Siriwardene walks down the wicket and chips the widish delivery over mid-off. One bounce and into the fence she goes

Masabata Klaas to Siriwardene, SIX, straight as an arrow! On a length around off and Siriwardene stands tall and pumps it right over the bowler's head. All about timing, was that shot! First one of this match

Daniels to Hasini Perera, out Caught by Kapp!! Daniels strikes in her first over. Hasini Perera throws her bat at a widish delivery and slices it down to third man. Kapp charges forward from the deep and takes a regulation catch to send Hasini back to the hut. Hasini Perera c Kapp b Daniels 6(13) [4s-1]

Masabata Klaas to Hasini Perera, FOUR, finally a boundary! Short and wide outside off, Hasini Perera reaches for it and cuts it over backward point. Third man sprints across but the ball wins the race

Ismail to Mendis, out Bowled!! Another peach of a delivery. Tailing in sharply around middle and Mendis was in no position to play at it. Swings her bat, but the ball goes through and takes down the middle stick. Lanka in trouble with two top order batters back to the hut. Mendis b Ismail 1(8)

Kapp to Athapaththu, out Lbw!! As plumb as it gets. A very good inswinging delivery around middle, full in length and beats Athapaththu's flick. The bowler was up in an appeal and the umpire doesn't disappoint her. Could have been hitting middle and leg, hence Athapaththu keeps walking. Doesn't opt for the review! Athapaththu lbw b Kapp 3(10)
