England beat South Africa by 2 Wickets and enter the Final

England's women are through to the World Cup final on Sunday after a run-chase that veered from cakewalk to calamity and included all the emotions in between.

Sarah Taylor struck a vital half-century to help England book a place in the Women's World Cup final as they beat South Africa by two wickets at Bristol on Tuesday.

Taylor, back in an England shirt for this tournament after a year out of the game, hit 54 off 76 balls to give England control of the match before a mini collapse created a nail-biting finish.

Yet England, set 219 to win, held their nerve to complete their second highest successful run chase in World Cup history, built on the third-wicket partnership of 78 between Taylor and England captain Heather Knight

There were just three balls to go when No 10 Anya Shrubsole carted Shabnim Ismail through the covers to inch England over the line by two wickets and reduce several members of the South African team to tears.
