England Women vs South Africa Women, 4th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Players have lined up for the anthems.

Pitch and conditions | Katey Martin and Carlos Brathwaite: Great news is skies are clear. Has been a lot of rain the last couple of days. 67 meters down the ground, 53 meters and 61 meters square boundaries. There is some live grass and some cracks too. Spin may play a big part as it did in the first game.

Teams:

England Women (Playing XI): Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones(w), Heather Knight, Nat Sciver-Brunt(c), Sophia Dunkley, Emma Lamb, Alice Capsey, Charlotte Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell

South Africa Women (Playing XI): Laura Wolvaardt(c), Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, Anneke Bosch, Sinalo Jafta(w), Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Masabata Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba

Wolvaardt: Looks a bit slower than what we thought it would be. Don't mind having a bat first. For us it's about taking it one game at a time. Need to be present in the moment. He's been amazing (coach Mandla Mashimbyi), has changed a lot of things and is all about playing brave cricket. He's good at motivational speeches as well. Four spin options, three seam options.

Sciver-Brunt: We're going to have a bowl. Want to get out there as a group and make a mark on the game. Hopefully will get better to bat on under lights. Looking to take wickets with the ball at every opportunity. Only the second woman for England to play 150 ODIs which is such a huge achievement (talking about Heather Knight). Great to have her back.

England Women have won the toss and have opted to field

Time for the toss.

South Africa arrive into this tournament with series wins over West Indies and Pakistan. With a number of allrounders in their lineup, there's a good amount of depth that they can draw from. There's no shortage of big names either with the likes of captain Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp expected to show the way, as they did in their run to the final at the T20 World Cup last year.

Star allrounder Nat-Sciver Brunt was put in charge of the England team earlier this year following their drubbing in the Ashes. This is the first big test of the new coach and captain duo of Sciver-Brunt and Charlotte Edwards. They had a good hit out in the warm-ups, beating both Australia and India. If those results are anything to go by, it augurs well for a team packed with a lot of talent.

14:05 Local Time, 08:35 GMT, 14:05 IST: Going into this World Cup, there were a few teams you looked at as strong contenders. There was Australia, there was India, both of whom have registered winning starts. And then there were these two teams who will battle it out in Guwahati today. Hello and welcome to our coverage as England take on South Africa in Match 4 of the tournament.
