South Africa put a slip in as a result - but Lamb edges between keeper and slip for another boundary!

Despite bowling a very good first over, Mlaba has gone for 15.A short ball from de Klerk is pulled over midwicket by Lamb, the eighth boundary of a stylish and confident innings.12th over: England 65-1
Dunkley belts Sekhukhune down the ground for four, a much sweeter strike than in the previous over. South Africa urgently need a wicket or four.off her own bowling by Sekhukhune. It was a stinging, one-handed chance above his head, and you can argue she did well just to get a hand on it and save the boundary.Short and wide from de Klerk, and Lamb punches another emphatic cut for four.
