run out

Molineux and Darcie Brown bowled superbly in the powerplay, with the former bowling Suzie Bates in the second over after Georgia Plimmer had been run-out without facing.

After their skipper was dismissed - the Yorkshireman not blameless for the confusion with Jamie Smith that led to his run-out - England lost seven wickets for 21 runs in 7.1 overs to be all out for 131.

Smith capitalised when South Africa bowled too full or offered width but was involved in the Brook run-out when he sent back his captain who was looking for two.

Though Hilton Cartwright hit 42 to boost the score, Sam Curran took three wickets and completed a run-out to wrap up the innings in 98 balls.

After escaping a run-out chance on 22, Root's latest triumph was chanceless.
