Mlaba to Vishmi Gunaratne, out Anushka Sanjeewani Run Out!! 1 run completed. Vishmi Gunaratne has the strike. But Anushka Sanjeewani has to go. She was slow to turn back for the second.

de Klerk to Vishmi Gunaratne, 1 run, 100 up! Very full, outside off, drilled down to cover for a single

Mlaba to Vishmi Gunaratne, FOUR, the over ends with a four again. Walked across her stick, dropped down on her knees and swept it behind square for a four. That was well placed

Mlaba to Vishmi Gunaratne, FOUR, off the cue-end! That went wide of the keeper after the batter danced down. The batter danced down blind, the bowler kept it wide and the ball went off the edge

de Klerk to Nilakshi de Silva, FOUR, short, wide, gets the room and dabs the ball wide of short third man for a four. Back-to-back fours to end the over. Nilakshi de Silva trying to conjure up a cameo here

de Klerk to Nilakshi de Silva, FOUR, on the sticks, on a length, angled in, Nilakshi de Silva walks across her sticks and whips the ball wide of short fine for a four. That was well placed

de Klerk to Nilakshi de Silva, no run, SA lose a review. Was a length delivery, angled in, Nilakshi de Silva looked to pull and missed it. The ball hit her pads but was going down. But SA players decided to review

Chloe Tryon to Vishmi Gunaratne, FOUR, short, little wide outside off and has been chopped wide of short third man for a four. That was a good shot as she got back to pounce on that delivery

Mlaba to Vishmi Gunaratne, FOUR, dances down and slaps it wide of the bowler. That was hit hard and flat. The fielder at long-on had no chance

Mlaba to Nilakshi de Silva, 1 run, risky single! A direct hit and Nilakshi de Silva was a goner at the bowler's end. She played it straight to the fielder at mid-wicket and set off. The direct hit never happened

Mlaba to Harshitha Madavi, out Caught by Wolvaardt!! Taken again. This time at mid-wicket by Wolvaardt. That was dragged down, Harshitha Madavi looked to bend down and pull it but got a top-edge. The ball went up and the fielder got under it, dived and took it. Back-to-back wickets. Harshitha Madavi c Wolvaardt b Mlaba 13(24)

de Klerk to Kavisha Dilhari, out Caught by Wolvaardt!! Taken at cover. The batter strode out to punch it but found the fielder at cover who juggled it once but took it. SA have broken through post the break. Kavisha Dilhari was looking dangerous but has to go. That was a length delivery and Kavisha Dilhari tried to go through the off-side but failed to get the elevation. Kavisha Dilhari c Wolvaardt b de Klerk 14(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

de Klerk to Kavisha Dilhari, leg byes, 1 run, looks to flog it away, the ball dribbles off the pads and they steal a run. A direct hit from the keeper at the bowler's end would have ended the stay for the non-striker

de Klerk to Harshitha Madavi, 2 runs, dropped! That was a leading edge and the fielder at mid-off fluffs the catch. They steal a couple. Klaas got to the ball but failed to latch on. Was a fuller length delivery, Harshitha Madavi looked to play it on the on-side and got the leading edge

Mlaba to Kavisha Dilhari, SIX, what a start! First ball after the break and has been pulled over backward square for a sixer. Was dragged down by the bowler and the batter slammed the pull

Chloe Tryon to Kavisha Dilhari, FOUR, slower, shorter and wider, Dilhari pierces the gap on this occasion and gets off the mark with a boundary. The right-hander rocks back and hammers the cut in front of square on the off-side. Brits, at cover, dives to her right and fails to stop it

Masabata Klaas to Chamari Athapaththu, out Lbw!! Big shout for lbw and up goes the dreaded finger. 106.2kph, nip-backer from round the wicket on a good length, beats Athapaththu on the inside edge as she presses forward to block. Didn't account for the inward movement. Where's the impact? Over to ball-tracking. Impact is umpire's call and HawkEye shows it to be hitting off and middle. Sri Lanka don't lose a review but they've lost their captain. Second wicket for Klaas to end the powerplay. Replay shows that it was a wobble-seam ball and the left-handed batter was playing with an angled blade. Chamari Athapaththu lbw b Masabata Klaas 11(25) [4s-2]

Masabata Klaas to Chamari Athapaththu, FOUR, short again, no real venom on it, Athapaththu swivels and pulls over midwicket. Dercksen gives the chase and puts in a dive but she can't pull it back

Masabata Klaas to Hasini Perera, out Bowled!! Wow! That's a beaut from Masabata Klaas. 105.8kph, good length delivery angling in, Hasini Perera gets half-forward to push it with a straight-ish bat. The ball hits the deck and moves away ever so lightly to beat the outside edge and hit the top of off. Dream delivery from Klaas. Hasini Perera b Masabata Klaas 4(7) [4s-1]

Kapp to Chamari Athapaththu, FOUR, Athapaththu breaks the shackles! She shimmies down the pitch, makes room in the process and throws her arms to slice it over backward point. One bounce and into the fence. First boundary for the SL captain

Masabata Klaas to Hasini Perera, FOUR, 106.7kph, width on offer, Hasini Perera accepts the gift. The left-hander bends her back leg and flays it through the covers. Off the mark in style

Kapp to Vishmi Gunaratne, 1 run, Vishmi Gunaratne skips down the track, knocks this fullish ball to mid-on and sets off for a sharp single. No direct-hit and the ball hits Gunaratne's left knee having missed the pad! Vishmi Gunaratne is down in a lot of pain. She got hit on the inner part of the knee. The physio is out to tend to her. She's barely able to move. This is not a good sight. Vishmi is being carried off the field on a stretcher. She was batting positively and this is so unfortunate. Let's hope that she recovers quickly

Kapp to Vishmi Gunaratne, leg byes, FOUR, 108.9kph, Gunaratne is late on the glance, brushes the batter's pad (well outside the line of leg-stump) and runs away to fine leg for four leg-byes

Masabata Klaas to Vishmi Gunaratne, FOUR, second boundary for Vishmi Gunaratne! Full and outside off, Gunaratne confidently gets forward to drive it firmly through extra cover

Kapp to Vishmi Gunaratne, FOUR, 107.9kph, slightly overpitched, Vishmi Gunaratne goes hard on the drive and hits with the swing after getting half-forward. Finds the gap between cover and backward point to collect the first boundary
