DRINKS BREAK! This has been an eventful first 16 overs of the run chase. After that early chaos where they were reduced to 1/3, England have found some much-needed stability through Nat Sciver-Brunt and Alice Capsey. The pair has done well to keep the scoreboard ticking and whenever the opportunities have been presented, they have been quick to cash in. South Africa had a chance to break this stand a couple of overs ago but it went down. This break will allow Laura Wolvaardt and Co. to regroup. It will be important for them to target the stumps as much as they can and keep building pressure rather than going searching for wickets.

Sune Luus to Alice Capsey, DROPPED! Alice is dropped by Nondumiso Shangase at long on. Tossed up around off, Alice Capsey gets down on a knee and slogs this one. Fails to get right underneath it and hits this straight to the substitute fielder, who did extremely well on the previous delivery. Nondumiso Shangase never looked under control of this one and she goes with hard hands at it and away from her body. The ball strikes her hands and pops out.  Both batters were ball watching and did not go for the single but Nat Sciver-Brunt did back up a fair bit before returning inside her crease at the bowler's end. The throw from the deep was good by Nondumiso Shangase, though and Sune Luus gathers this and removes the bails at the non-striker's end and appeals for a runout. The on-field umpire sends this upstairs and the replay shows that NSB was just in when Luus removed the bails at the non-striker's end. England Women avoid a scare. 

Sune Luus to Alice Capsey, Short of a length on off, Alice Capsey smashes this to the left of the substitute fielder Nondumiso Shangase at long off but she does well to cover some ground to her left and put in a dive at the end to keep it down to two.
