5.09pm Four wickets for Sciver, three for Brunt. Quite the day out for English cricket's Royal Family. England will need 219 to seal the first ODI. Will it get as tense as this penultimate meeting between the teams? We'll find out soon enough!

Sciver to de Klerk, OUT, excellent take by Ecclestone at mid-off! Biffed on the up, solid bat through the ball, but can't get the elevation to elude the tallest fielder in the team. South Africa's innings is done

Sciver to de Klerk, no run, on the back foot, thrashed to short cover
Cross stayed down after sliding to intercept... might have some cramp in her calf. A hot day
47.2
W
Sciver to de Klerk, 1 run, OUT, back of a length, thrashed out to deep midwicket, a fumble as the ball bounces short of Cross, but that tempts the batters to attempt a second run as Dunkley fires the ball in... miles short as Sciver gathers. Some question whether she broke the stumps with her hand, but was clearly holding the ball
TS Sekhukhune run out 1 (6m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Sciver to de Klerk, FOUR, boshed through the line! Straight over the umpire's head!

1
Brunt to de Klerk, 1 run, slower ball, outside off, served up with a grunt of effort which might have been a deliberate bluff... either way, fenced out to the covers
46.5
2
Brunt to de Klerk, 2 runs, cheekily done, inverts the stance to flick down to fine leg, a fumble from Ecclestone on the rope

Brunt to Sekhukhune, 1 run, punched off the back foot, down to deep third

Brunt to Khaka, OUT, attacking full length, deflects into the stumps. Khaka slides back into the crease, Brunt cramps her on the angle, off the pad, and that's eight-down

Sciver to Khaka, no run, attacking the pads, fenced into the off side. An eventful over
45.5
W
Sciver to Chetty, OUT, a haul across the line, good take from Jones and a loud appeal for the catch. After some deliberation, they are reviewing. And with good reason! A thin under-edge, and another one bites the dust
T Chetty c †Jones b Sciver 1 (5m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
