Ahem. I do agree, although, that it’s a daring and thrilling transfer.
WICKET! England 86-2 (Dunkley LBW b de Klerk 22)
Dunkley survives a giant LBW shout from de Klerk – however South Africa go for the assessment. If there’s no inside edge, Dunkley is in bother.

The gamers are out within the center, and Marizanne Kapp has a white ball in her hand.
Regardless of a pulsating 88 from Chloe Tryon, this needs to be a cushty chase for England. Ought to: what a phrase that’s. Helluva lot of shoulds that haven’t come to cross.
The very first thing South Africa want is a new-ball spell nearly as good as Katherine Brunt’s this afternoon.
Thanks Daniel, nice work. We actually ought to have some sort of ceremony when folks make their OBO debut in every format. We couldn’t current a cap, just like the precise cricketers do, however there should be another. A laminated Wisden? An vitality drink? A stress ball?
That’s all from me. My first white ball OBO. Should say it was wild at occasions when the spinners had been working at each ends however completely loved that. (Do I lose cool factors admitting that I really like the 50 over format?)
I’ll go ponder that. The subsequent phrases you learn shall be written by Rob Smythe who’ll take you to the shut.
Will South Africa have the ability to defend this (considerably) measly whole? Will England snaffle it at a canter? Keep tuned.
South Africa bowled out for 218 (47.4 overs)
That’s all she wrote. De Klerk can’t see out the remaining overs and is caught on the cost by a diving Eccelstone at mid-off. That’s 4 wicket for Sciver.
Not sufficient I worry for the Saffas. Nonetheless, if they’re to defend this they’ve Tryon’s brilliance and de Klerk’s gumption to thank.
Brunt was unplayable up entrance and Eccelstone put the squeeze on, limiting their friends to 108-5 earlier than a 97-run sixth-wicket stand turned this one-sided affair into one thing of a contest.
Sekhukhune run-out (Dunkley) 1 (South Africa 218-9)

forty seventh over: South Africa 212-8 (de Klerk 32, Sekhukhune 1) That’s three wickets in 12 balls for England. Brunt’s claims her third with this succesful set, bowling Khaka for a duck. She’s given no respect although as de Klerk paddle sweeps on one knee. They scamper two however it deserved extra. Sekhukhune, again from her night-watchers heroics in Taunton, is off the mark with a sliced drive to deep third.
Wicket! Khaka b Brunt 0 (South Africa 209-8)
Khaka lasts simply two balls as Brunt cleans her up with a full and straight one.
forty sixth over: South Africa 208-7 (de Klerk 29, Khaka 0) Sciver baggage the massive scalp of a high-flying Tryon and he or she additionally picks up Trisha Chetty’s wicket as properly. South Africa’s ‘keeper is snaffled by her reverse quantity, Jones, however solely after a assessment. Wickets coming thick and quick now and the top is definitely nigh.
Tryon goes down swinging, c Cross b Sciver 88 (South Africa 206-6)
Slightly than bunt it round for her ton, Tryon has gone down in a blaze of glory. it wasn’t fairly brief sufficient from Sciver and Tryon fails to get the elevation required to elevate it past the rope. As an alternative she picks out Cross at deep midwicket and it’s safely pouched because the 97 run partnership ends.
Irrespective of. That basically is an innings of the very best high quality. South Africa received’t have sufficient runs (save this tweet) however they’ve a minimum of given themselves a semblance of an opportunity. Correction. Chloe-Lesleigh Tryon has given them an opportunity.
forty fifth over: South Africa 205-5 (Tryon 88, de Klerk 27) This time Tryon get’s a little bit of luck as a fielder within the deep (forgive me, my view is obstructed) helps it 4. I don’t know the way. All I do know is that it’s 4 extra for Tryon as she inches in the direction of a primary ever ton in worldwide cricket. It is a hellava contest with Ecclestone who has not discovered that management she had earlier within the piece.
forty fourth over: South Africa 200-5 (Tryon 83, de Klerk 27) Bludgeoned from the center of Tryon’s bat. She has humptied Sciver again over her head to take hersellf into the 80s. She hits a brief ball even more durable to the deep sq. boundary however there’s a fielder there and it’s only a single. You may shoot a lentil out of a cannon proper now and he or she’d fizz it to the fence.
Oh, and that’s 200 up as properly.
forty third over: South Africa 192-5 (Tryon 77, de Klerk 25) Now that’s simply scrumptious. Having survived a lbw assessment initially of the over, Tryon unfurls two attractive boundaries by means of the off facet off Eccesltone. One drive off the entrance foot and one other scything minimize off the again peg underlines her supremacy on the minute. She’s charging forward and England are powerless to cease her.
Tryon is given out lbw! However evaluations instantly. Good factor too. She’s fairly clearly bought a whole lot of bat on that sweep to Ecclestone and he or she lives to proceed the combat.
Or is she?
forty second over: South Africa 184-5 (Tryon 69, de Klerk 25) Knight has recognised that she wants put a lid on issues so he chucks the ball to Sciver and asks her lieutenant to make one thing occur. There’s no wicket, however it solely goes for 5 as Tryon will get a single and de Klerk steals a few twos.
Exceptional we’re even having this dialog the best way the primary 20 overs went down.
forty first over: 179-5 (Tryon 68, de Klerk 21) South Africa’s decrease order dug them out of assorted holes on the World Cup they usually’re coming good once more right here. 4 singles from that Dean over thakes this sixth wicket partnership to 71.
“Why is there no scorecard with womens’ cricket like there may be with mens’ cricket? I might love to have the ability to take a look once I get the possibility to dip into the over by over commentary”
John Field, you’re proper to flag this and so have we. Will see what we will do.
fortieth over: South Africa 175-5 (Tryon 66, de Klerk 19) POW! POW! Two mighty maximums off Tryon’s flowing blade is a certain signal that she’s seeing it like a pumpkin. No respect for Cross as she first wallops one over sq. leg after which finishes the over with anoter over cow nook. This actually is a particular innings from South Africa’s center order veteran. De Klerk taking part in her half too on this partnership, hanging in there and nurdling singles to feed Tryon the strike.
thirty ninth over: South Africa 160-5 (Tryon 53, de Klerk 18). That’s 50 for Chloe Tryon who has performed a elegant hand rescuing her teammates from sure doom. She got here in at 73-4 and has taken South Africa to the brink of one thing they could but defend. Nonetheless work to do, however she could be happy with that.
This Dean over goes for seven as each ball prices a run. 5 of them are singles labored across the numerous gaps and one other is labored for 2 in the direction of the leg facet to carry up tryon’s milestone.
