5.31pm: England need 234 in 50 overs to seal the series and will be confident of chasing that under lights, especially at what is typically a pretty good batting venue. South Africa started well through Laura Wolvaardt, and England lost Kate Cross to a back spasm in the very first over. But they chipped away at the middle order, with Sophie Ecclestone characeristically frugal, and it took a ninth-wicket stand of 32 to drag them up to 233 for 8. Join us for the chase in half an hour.

Bell to de Ridder, no run, Knight is down well at short midwicket, as de Ridder looks to work leg-side

Bell to de Ridder, no run, high full toss, which deceives de Ridder as she switches her hands and looks to reverse-scoop this away. It dips late, and is only just over the top of off stump - so avoids being given as a no-ball

Bell to de Ridder, FOUR, short ball, pulled away, and de Ridder finally has a boundary! It's been a real struggle for her, but she anticipated this bumper, hoicked it away off her left shoulder, and just about beat the diving Wyatt-Hodge on the rope

Bell to de Ridder, no run, yorker, miscued to short midwicket via the inside edge

Sciver-Brunt finishes with 0 for 40. Not a spell that will be remembered beyond today but she has filled in very well as a frontline seamer after Cross hobbled off with a back spasm.
