England secured a dominant 286-run victory against South Africa in the one-off Test match in Bloemfontein. The Proteas were bowled out for their lowest ever score of 64, chasing a challenging target of 351 set by England. Lauren Bell and Lauren Filer wreaked havoc with the new ball, while Sophie Ecclestone's spin bowling also proved effective. The controversial absence of DRS technology also came under discussion during the match.
England romped to a 286-run win over South Africa on day three of the one-off Test in Bloemfontein as they skittled the Proteas for their lowest score of 64. The hosts were demolished in 19.4 overs chasing a record 351 at Mangaung Oval, slipping to 33-6 inside 14 as Lauren Bell and Lauren Filer caused havoc with the new ball and all-rounders Nadine de Klerk and Chloe Tryon were dismissed for ducks.
England had earlier been dismissed for 236 in their second innings, with Knight falling 10 runs short of what would have been a third Test hundred, after her 168 against Australia in Canberra in 2022 and 157 against the same opposition on home soil back in 2013. Knight was one of six second-innings wickets for Mlaba as the spinner backed up her four strikes first time around and claimed the first 10-for by a South Africa woman in Tests.
