bowled her! Round the wicket, right up to the blockhole, Tryon swings for the hills and gets her timbers splattered!
ENG Women vs SA Women, 3rd T20I at Derby, SA-W in ENG, Jul 25 2022 - Match Result
9.25pm And that's the end of that. A hugely impressive performance from England - finished off by Ecclestone with both ball and earlier, bat, thanks to her 33 not out from 12 balls. That capped a hard-hitting approach all down the order, with Alice Capsey lighting the fuse after the first-ball loss of Sophia Dunkley, but after that it was all about the kids with the ball. Issy Wong with a fine maiden T20I wicket to Freya Kemp, the pick of the bowlers with two well-earned wickets on her own debut.
And with that, England complete a clean-sweep of the white-ball legs of the multi-format series. 3-0, 3-0 and a drawn Test giving them a 14-2 points victory. Can't say fairer than that. They head off to the Commonwealth Games next week with a real shot at a medal, thanks to a rejuvenated approach that, whisper it, could even give the Aussies a run for their money. As for South Africa, there's not a lot of joy. Nonkululenko Mlaba was excellent with the ball and Tamzin Brits hung in there with the bat. But they've had a rough time of it on this tour, and have been soundly beaten. Thanks for joining us, until the next time, good night!
clawed through square leg, South Africa keep swinging to the last
down the track, under-edge, and Jones can't gather! Missed the off-stump by a whisker and nutmegged the keeper after a deflection off the pads
hauled to the on-side, from outside off
cuffed across the line, a very thick edge out through square leg and hunted down inside the rope
heaved out to deep midwicket
Right, just the small matter of 48 from the last. Could have been a temptation to try Kemp once more, but it's Ecclestone to finish off
another slowie, outside off, Tryon had made room to leg and can't connect
bouncer, Tryon is expecting that, and rocks back on a flat pull through midwicket
Jones reverts to standing back after that one
misses her line, fired past everything, on the full
beauty! Wong serves up the back-of-the-hander too, outside off, and beating a wild swish
dragged from outside off, to the on-side
Rose: "Valiant maybe, but not a good innings. <105 SR with this target is a huge negative impact" I'd say she wasn't solely at fault...
leg-sided again, cuffed to square leg on a full length
slower ball from Wong, hits the pads and deflected to the leg side
and another slower ball, swinging across the right-hander again, should have been toe-ended to cover but a sloppy misfield gives away the boundary. Still, that was very impressive
brilliant. A fluent, swinging, length delivery, another slower ball, curling away outside off, and through to the keeper
four from four, another one looped up and landing on middle and leg, clipped uppishly to midwicket
outstanding again, another slower ball, swinging away on the perfect length, outside off, and through to the keeper
A valiant innings, but all in vain. Here's Tucker
back of the hand again, hoisted to deep midwicket, holds up in the breeze, and swallowed by Ecclestone! Just lovely bowling, trusting her variations and hooking the big fish!
back of the hand, very cheeky delivery, would have been a wide but the batter was committed and thinned an edge down through deep third, good slide from Sciver
This is sinking fast. One more tight over and South Africa will need more than just snookers. Here's Kemp, with a switch of ends
on the back foot, opens the face for a firm push to cover
