ENG vs SA Highlights, Women's World Cup 2025 1st Semi Final: Laura Wolvaardt century, Marizanne Kapp fifer power South Africa to 125-run win; reach first-ever ODI World Cup final

Lauren Bell to Nadine De Klerk, Loopy slower one, in the blockhole, outside off. Nadine De Klerk reaches out but the ball dribbles off the under edge towards the keeper.

Linsey Smith to Chloe Tryon, SIX! Oh, what happened there? A floater, full and on middle, right in the slot. Chloe Tryon presents a straight bat and lofts it down the ground. Misjudgement on the part of Charlie Dean at long on. Dean runs in off the ropes and moves to her left. She realises that the ball is going over her head and leaps but the ball sails over her for a six. Dean was a step or two inside the ropes and had backpedalled earlier, she would have managed to convert it into a catch.

Linsey Smith to Nadine De Klerk, Miscued but it lands safely! A bit slower through the air, fuller and outside off. Nadine De Klerk gets down on a knee to drag the sweep but skies it. Luckily for her, the ball lands well in front of deep square leg and the batters take one.

Linsey Smith to Chloe Tryon, Leg bye! Flat and short, on the pads from over the wicket, Chloe Tryon misses out on the tickle. A leg bye is taken as the ball rolls behind on the leg side.

Linsey Smith to Chloe Tryon, FOUR! Clever, very clever! Tossed up, full and on the off stump. Chloe Tryon knows that there is no protection in the deep square of the wicket on the off side. Gives herself room and goes inside out over cover for a boundary.

Linsey Smith to Chloe Tryon, FOUR! In the gap! Full and sliding across the batter, Chloe Tryon plants her front foot forward and gets her hands out in front. Heaves it to the left to deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

Change of gloves, it seems for Chloe Tryon.

Linsey Smith to Chloe Tryon, Very full, on off, Chloe Tryon digs it out back to the bowler.

Nadine De Klerk walks out next.

Lauren Bell to Laura Wolvaardt, OUT! CAUGHT! Guwahati stands up to applaud one of the great knocks in ODI cricket! An innings of the highest order from Laura Wolvaardt. This was the slower one from Bell, fuller in length. Wolvaardt tried to go down the ground but got it right from the toe end of the bat. It went only as far as long on, where Alice Capsey ran in off the ropes and did the rest. The English players walk up to Laura to congratulate her as she departs for 169 (143).

Linsey Smith to Laura Wolvaardt, FOUR! Hat-trick of fours from Wolvaardt! 19 runs off the over with a ball to go. Too full, too straight, on the pads, Laura gets low and sweeps it behind square on the leg side for four more.

Linsey Smith to Laura Wolvaardt, FOUR MORE! Laura Wolvaardt is just toying with the fielder here. Pushed across the right-hander, on off, full in length. Laura gets under the ball and pumps it to the left of deep mid-wicket for another boundary.

Review taken for LBW! Not given on-field. Looked to be sliding down leg but England want to take a chance. And yes, the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is missing the leg stump.

Sophie Ecclestone to Chloe Tryon, Tossed up, around middle and leg, probably going down the leg side. Tryon looks to push this down to long on but misses out on the inside. A loud appeal for LBW but the umpire shrugs it off. Nat Sciver-Brunt sends this upstairs more in hope. Nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracker confirms that it would have gone on and missed the leg stump. England lose a review.
