Over-by-over report: Who will win through to face Australia in the World Cup final? Join our writers.
There’s a couple of singles, Wyatt gets of the mark with a tickle to third man. 5th over: England 15-1 (Wyatt 4, Knight 1)Wyatt scythes a cut shot away in the air but into the gap, just a single. We’ve been here before of course, England wobbled their way past South Africa in the semi-final at Bristol in 2017 on their way to lifting the trophy. 1st over: England 6-0 (Beaumont 5, Wyatt 1)Tammy Beaumont drives the first ball of the match for four! Wyatt then cuts away for a single and Beaumont gets away with a weird looking poke that goes wide of point. Ismail bowls a tight and fast over, she pins Beaumont on the pad and there’s a big appeal but the umpire says no dice. The sun is out and shining on Danni Wyatt at the moment. Wyatt pokes at a length ball from new bowler Masabata Klaas but the chance goes begging. DROP! Wow. Wyatt plinks a pull high on the bat and into the breeze, Marizanne Kapp diving but the ball goes through her. The game on a knife-edge. Remember the ball looping off the back of her bat and hip?
