7.52pm Well, that was an onslaught and a half! England's aggressive intent lifts them to a domineering 176 for 6. Dunkley fell first-ball as Mlaba bowled brilliantly for her three wickets, but Alice Capsey lit the fuse with a sparky maiden innings, before contributions from Wyatt, Sciver, Jones, Bouchier and Ecclestone at the death. Back shortly for the chase!

Ecclestone enters with licence to lump it

Tucker to Jones, FOUR, thumped through the line, and Khaka makes a hash of the fielding effort at long-on, had her palms in the right place, but the ball wriggled through on the bounce
Snethemba : "Surely they have to correct that… That's Ayabonga Khaka's wicket. Why wouldn't they start the review with that??? This is appalling." Does seem odd, yes
