Chloe Tryon to Beth Mooney, FOUR! Gets it over. Flighted again, outside off, Beth Mooney comes down the track and looks to go over the top. Is not quite to the pitch of the ball and hits it from the toe end of her bat. But the ball flies over mid off and runs away to the long off fence.

Chloe Tryon to Beth Mooney, Landed on middle, slower through the air, Beth Mooney defends. Looks for a run but the bowler and keeper immediately run after the ball. In the process, Chloe Tryon collides with Tahlia McGrath and the batters abort the run. Tryon immediately apologizes to McGrath.

Chloe Tryon to Tahlia McGrath, Jumps down the track this time, does TM, looks to drive through the covers but the ball is not in her slot. Too full outside off and it ekes out a bottom edge back to the bowler.

Chloe Tryon to Tahlia McGrath, How did that miss the stumps? Turn and bounce. Flighted, around middle, the skipper gets down to sweep but misses. The ball lands, spins away and bounces just enough to go over the top of the stumps!

Marizanne Kapp to Tahlia McGrath, A bit too full and too straight, McGrath gets across to flick but plays all around it. Gets hit on her pads and the ball deflects towards square leg. A single taken, but no signal from the umpire. Might have been an inside edge then.

Marizanne Kapp to Tahlia McGrath, On a good length, around off, Tahlia McGrath defends it down the track.

Marizanne Kapp to Beth Mooney, IN THE AIR... JUST SHORT! Another piece of excellent fielding. On a length, outside off, Beth comes down the track and looks to go through the off side. She cannot keep it down and the ball goes in the air. But it is in the gap and right between cover-point and cover in a packed off side cordon. It threatens to escape through but Chloe Tryon rushes to her right from cover and dives to stop the ball. Just a single.

Marizanne Kapp to Beth Mooney, On a good length, around off, Mooney places it straight to cover-point.

Marizanne Kapp to Beth Mooney, Full, around off, swinging in, Beth Mooney places it uppishly but wide of the bowler, to her right. Not enough pace on this outfield to give justice to the shot and the ball stops once again. Mid off gets around and keeps the batters to a couple.

Skipper Tahlia McGrath walks in next at number 4, replacing Georgia Wareham.

Huge, huge shout for a caught behind! The umpire has not given it but Marizanne Kapp and Sinalo Jafta are confident and have convinced Laura Wolvaardt to take the review. And yes, the UltraEdge detects a spike as the ball goes past the bat!

Marizanne Kapp to Georgia Wareham, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The onfield decision is overturned and you could not have asked for a better start for South Africa. First Harris and now, Wareham. Coming back to the ball, it was on a length, outside off and Georgia Wareham just tried to have a dab at it. But the feet did not move and on first look, it did seem like the ball missed the outside edge. But the keeper, Sinalo Jafta was straightaway up in joy while Kapp followed her almost instantaneously. But the umpire stayed firm. The keeper and bowler immediately make the captain go for the review and Wolvaardt obliges. UltraEdge rolls in and it detects a spike as the ball goes past the bat! The decision is overturned and a disappointed Wareham has to go back to the dugout for just 5 (9). Australia Women are 18/2 after 3 overs and Marizanne Kapp's figures read 2-0-11-1.

Marizanne Kapp to Georgia Wareham, A touch fuller, outside off, Wareham drives it towards cover.

Marizanne Kapp to Georgia Wareham, On a good length, outside off, GW times the cut nicely, but cannot beat backward point to her left.

Marizanne Kapp to Georgia Wareham, FOUR! That gets Australia the first boundary of the bat. Well, technically, the second but as per the scorecard, the first. Wareham backs away to the leg side and Kapp follows her. But Georgia goes through with her shot and hacks it. Gets it off the inner half of the bat but finds the gap at mid-wicket.

Marizanne Kapp to Georgia Wareham, On a good length, around off, Georgia Wareham defends. The third umpire informs the onfield umpire that Kapp has overstepped and it will be a NO BALL! Free Hit to follow.

Marizanne Kapp to Beth Mooney, Excellent stuff from Ayabonga Khaka. Especially after bowling a fast over previously. Marizanne Kapp bowls a length ball outside off, Beth Mooney comes down the track and converts it into a half volley. Drives it through the covers. The outfield is not the quickest and the ball slows down enough to allow Khaka to race to her left from deep third and flick it to Annerie Dercksen running after the ball from cover. Three runs taken.

Ayabonga Khaka to Beth Mooney, Interesting from Mooney. Jumps down the track, to try and spoil Khaka's length. But the bowler sees that and bowls it back of a length, at the body. Mooney manages to work it through mid-wicket for a run, to get off the mark. Just 3 runs and a wicket from Ayabonga Khaka's opening over.

Ayabonga Khaka to Beth Mooney, Better line, just outside off, fuller in length, Mooney shoulders arms.
