ALICE IN THE WARS AND IN THE RUNS

ALICE CAPSEY defied a black eye as England sealed their place in the Twenty20 cricket semi-finals with a 26-run win over South Africa.

The 17-year-old, who took a blow during the warm-up before England’s opener on Saturday, starred with her maiden international half-century in her side’s 167 for five. South Africa were never in the hunt in reply and England are already through to the last four before their final group game against New Zealand tomorrow.
