flogged on the up, over long-on! That is a mightily emphatic win for England
SA Women vs ENG Women, 1st ODI at Northampton, SA-W in ENG, Jul 11 2022 - Match Result
ENG Women won by 5 wickets (with 107 balls remaining)
7.49pm So, England win by five wickets with a hefty 107 balls to spare. Handshakes all round, not least for the new girl Emma Lamb, who has filled a clear vacancy at the top of the order. Nat Sciver was exceptional with bat and ball, and Katherine Brunt was at times unplayable with the new ball in particular as she signalled there's life in her white-ball career yet! For South Africa, it was all about Chloe Tryon. Her brilliant 88 from 73 balls at least gave England something to hunt down.
on the front foot again, into the off side
drilled hard at cover, can't beat the field this time
full and straight, Knight attempts a launch over the leg side, can't connect... and South Africa review. And that is smashing leg stump! The skipper falls with victory in sight
solid block into the off side
cracked through backward point! Width, and smoked
open face, into the covers
wafted off the toes, clean through midwicket! That's rifled by Wyatt. She's already living up to her finisher tag
on the back foot, tapped to point
firm drive, all along the turf to deep cover
opens the face on the back foot, and jabbed to third man
full length, driven back at the non-striker's stumps
rocks back on the pull, and picks out square leg! The end of a magnificent maiden hundred. She hadn't made a single run in ODI cricket before today. She's put that right in outstanding fashion
flashed into the covers on the front foot
a stride to the pitch and launched over the ropes! High and mighty, straight as an arrow. England are all but there
Kim: "Great batting Lamb 100. England batting was very positive and energetic, they kept the score board rolling. SA seemed afraid to play their shots and looked lazy poor running between the sticks and when fielding. A good thrashing well played England."
eased into the covers
squared up as Knight advances and squirts into the covers
shaping into the legs, helped on its way
