Anya Shrubsole leads England off the field. What an effort from the bowling group after they lost the toss. No Katherine Brunt, no problems. South Africa just didn't turn up. Played too many rash strokes, lost patience, didn't believe in their techniques and fell into a deadly trap. Only a miracle can help them salvage this game. Remember, a loss here and they're knocked out.
