Ecclestone has four and South Africa continue to lose wickets. Dercksen struggled to get going and falls to a low score. Annerie Dercksen b Ecclestone 4(14)

Ecclestone to Annerie Dercksen, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Wolvaardt is the first captain to score a ton in knockout matches in ODI World Cups.

England Women opt to bowl

Unbelievable stroke play/

Smith to Wolvaardt, FOUR, to deep mid-wicket

Smith to Wolvaardt, FOUR, to backward square leg

Smith to Wolvaardt, SIX, 150 now for Wolvaardt. She raises her bat and gets on with it. On a length just outside off, Wolvaardt goes on the back foot and pulls, just has enough to clear the leap of deep mid-wicket, the fielder tried to palm it back, but the ball had enough
