England v South Africa: Sophia Dunkley ton leads hosts to convincing win in second ODI

In the second one-day international in Bristol, Sophia Dunkley hit her maiden international century.

Dunkley fell for a century from the last ball of England's first-class game.

England's top four scored more than 50 for the first time in a women's one day international.

South Africa never really challenged in reply as Charlie Dean and Issy Wong took 4-53 and 39-36, respectively.

England dominated from the start as Emma Lamb followed her maiden international hundred at Northampton with an imposing 67 in an opening stand of 127 with Tammy Beaumont.

NatSciver continued her fine run of form with a half-century in a stand of 142 with Dunkley as England cashed in on a flat pitch.

It was a spirited effort from South Africa's batters to chase their imposing target, especially after they had looked tired in the field after Heather Knight chose to bat.

Dean dismissed both the openers and Laura Wolvaardt made an eye-catching 55 in the opening stand of 87.

South Africa was all out with nine overs left despite Marizanne Kapp's 73.

The third and final one-day international is atLeicester on Monday, starting at 14.

Destructive Dunkley sets up England win

When Dunkley came to the crease, he and Lamb had raced to their century partnership.

She didn't hit a boundary from her first 38 balls despite the platform that had been set for her.

The onslaught that followed was incredible.

Dunkley scored all around the ground, dispatching any loose balls and exhausting the South Africa fielders as England added 105 from the last 10 overs.

Dunkley's team-mates and the Bristol crowd were in awe after she shot over point for six.

Dunkley's previous opportunities to show her skills in the white-ball game had come as a lower-order player.

At Bristol, she put on a show to prove that she's where she should be.

Young guns give glimpses of exciting England future

The impact of the younger, less experienced players was something that stood out.

Dunkley did the same thing after Lamb hit her maiden international century in the firstOD.

Wong and Lauren Bell stepped up to the plate on their white-ball debut.

Wong stood out with her added pace, taking the big wickets of Tryon with a bouncer and matching the aggression that Brunt usually provides.

Dean took the prized scalp of Sune Luus and Wolvaardt when she was introduced.

Bell and Wong claimed two apiece, while Dean got one.

Heather Knight only made nine with the bat and Danni Wyatt only had to take two of the last three.

The young guns shone instead and it was as close to a complete performance as they have delivered after a difficult winter.

Wong's big future - what they said

The complete performance is what England will be happy with.

Issy Wong was amazing. She enjoys being the enforcer and the bowler.

She likes wearing that England shirt. She's doing that role for a long time.

Heather Knight said that she was really happy with her performance. Maybe it was even better. When Sophia gets her first hundred, it's always special because of the way Tammy and Lamby started the game.

We got them out of the way again. Today, I thought it was brilliant that we wanted to have that mindset. When they get off to a flyer like they did, it's easy to go a bit defensive, but I thought the bowlers wanted to keep attacking.

Sune Luus said they expected England to push for 300. The partnership with Nat and Dunkley was really good.

You need to take care of the big chase We had 100 runs to go with 10 overs left. Lessons learned.
