Scorecard

ENGLAND

Tammy Beaumont (58): An assured half century after a quiet start to the international summer; stagnated slightly after reaching fifty and apparently cramping up in her fingers 7

Emma Lamb (67): Carried on from where she'd left off and looked primed for a huge score until top-edging a sweep to short fine leg 8

Sophia Dunkley (107): Her maiden international hundred on the same ground where she made her Test debut last year; gave herself time to get set before going from fifty to three figures in 26 balls 9

Nat Sciver (63; 0-32): In the form of her life, hardly played a shot in anger but still raced along; hit England's first six which signalled the start of a shift in gears 7.5

Heather Knight (9): Came in with five overs to go, which isn't necessarily her game; was at the other end for Dunkley's ton 4

Danni Wyatt (8*): Another short cameo at the end, restricted by the dominance of the top five 5

Amy Jones (DNB): Kept tidily, dropped a tough chance standing up to Dean 5

Sophie Ecclestone (2-37): Frugal as ever, and picked up the wicket of Kapp to end her counter-attacking defiance; fielded uncharacteristically poorly at mid-off 6.5

Charlie Dean (4-53): Gives England a real attacking threat through the middle overs, bowling aggressive lines and getting the ball above the eyeline with plenty of revs; was rewarded for her bravery with four wickets 7.5

Lauren Bell (1-44): The better of England's new-ball bowlers and deserved her wicket when it belatedly came; a safe pair of hands under two catches 7

Issy Wong (3-36): A huge point of difference through the middle overs, bowling quickly and with aggression to break the back of South Africa's reply; bounced out Tryon, who was hardly tested against the short ball at Northampton 7.5

SOUTH AFRICA

Andrie Steyn (28): Looked comfortable and played her part in an 87-run opening stand until being trapped sweeping 5

Laura Wolvaardt (55): Set South Africa on their way with her first fifty of the series but slapped to mid-on to precipitate the subsequent collapse 7

Lara Goodall (16): Looked comfortable against England's spinners but spooned Wong to mid-on 3

Sune Luus (4): Having a poor tour with the bat, hardly playing a shot and carrying the burden of a struggling ream in the field as captain 2

Marizanne Kapp (73; 0-60): Expensive with the ball but did at least provide some resistance in the chase, playing Wong's pace better than her colleagues and displaying some clean hitting against Dean 6

Chloe Tryon (8; 2-34): South Africa's best bowler by a distance but was undone by a short ball from Wong 5

Nadine de Klerk (0; 2-65): Spooned a Wong short ball to cover and picked up two expensive wickets at the death; plugged away manfully 4

Trisha Chetty (17): Kept well and was clearly giving Luus a hand as captain, waving her arms frantically at times to reposition fielders 4

Shabnim Ismail (6; 1-64): A welcome return for South Africa's speedster, who bowled with pace but couldn't restrict England 4

Ayabonga Khaka (5*; 0-60): The most expensive South African seamer, who was taken apart as the innings wore on 3

Nonkululeko Mlaba (0; 0-42): England played the left-arm spinner well, but she gave South Africa some control in the middle overs 4
