MINETY'S Fran Wilson played a crucial role as England reached the Women's World Cup final by winning a nerve-shredding contest against South Africa with only two balls to spare.
Anya Shrubsole hit the decisive boundary to seal a two-wicket win for England, who were left needing two runs from the last three balls of a dramatic contest in Bristol.
South Africa had earlier set England a target of 219 to win after Laura Wolvaardt (66) and the unbeaten Mignon du Preez (76) had given the underdogs hope of a shock victory.
But Sarah Taylor set England on their way with 54 before Wilson's 30 - she was eventually dismissed with an over to go - Jenny Gunn (27 not out) and Shrubsole dragged their team over the line.
England will now face either Australia or India in the final at Lord's on Sunday.
