England bowler Lauren Bell, speaking on BBC Test Match Special: "It’s been a great day. We’d definitely have taken that at the start. They had patches where they made good partnerships. We’re really happy.

"It’s the Kookaburra so it doesn’t swing for ages up top. It’s not massively different. It’s just trying to repeat as much as possible. It’s been really fun to be out there with the girls.

"Missing Kate Cross is a massive loss but our roles stayed pretty similar. We wanted to stick to our strengths. My job up front is to swing the ball and take wickets with the new ball. Filer bowls fast and she was unbelievable today and yeah I think there wasn’t massive talk about what happened without Crossy but she’s a big loss.

On changes to her action: "I think what I’ve learned through Test match cricket is going out with one plan and not changing it doesn’t work. It’s ridiculously windy here and I learned in my first spell on the first day it would be tough to swing it because of how gusty the wind was and I was coming into it.

"It was tough. Sometimes I’m really glad I’ve got a wobble ball and a ball I’m in control of because in big winds like that it’s really useful.

"The pitch is giving us movement without having to do a lot. It’s nipping and the wobble ball is wobbling. We’re not having to do loads because the pitch is helping us out a lot."

On using the in-swinger sparingly: "It’s a matter of time. It’s definitely a bit of repetition of my best ball. Heather [Knight] calls it boring, she tells me to be boring. But Test match cricket is repetition. I’m just reminding myself be boring and repeat my best ball as much as possible."

This has to be the last time a Test match is played without DRS. It has to be.

Two decisions have gone against South Africa. It's frustrating for South Africa, their coaching staff, and the players. But delight for England, with the big wicket of Laura Wolvaardt, who hadn't looked like getting out.

Having said that, Sophie Ecclestone set her up fantastically to get her out. She went off stump, off stump, outside off, it turned, it bounced, and then she went straight and hit her on the pad.

There was more DRS - or lack thereof - controversy today.

Laura Wolvaardt was going very nicely before she was given out lbw to Sophie Ecclestone. The Proteas skipper was furious and replays shows she got a pretty healthy inside edge.

With no review system in this game, though, she had to depart. It comes after Marizanne Kapp looked to have Tammy Beaumont plumb lbw second ball yesterday and the home side were unable to review the on-field 'not out' decision.

Lauren Bell bowled brilliantly. She had a tough summer, with the action change she went through, and she lost that bit of consistency. But a performance like that today will give her confidence.

Lauren Filer's extra pace, extra bounce and the fact she's able to come in and bang the ball in short time and time again...

She's been brilliant today and shown why she's been picked in this starting XI. With the new ball she's very dangerous, and yes, there's some inconsistencies, but she's getting better and better.

South Africa, resuming on 17-0, made a strong start to day two and half-centuries from captain Laura Wolvaardt, Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp put them in a good position to at least match England's 395.

However, they then proceeded to 7-44 to give up a deficit of 114 on first innings.

Two from the Tumi Sekhukhune over and that's the end of a long, old day two.

England in a strong position after a remarkable collapse from South Africa.

Heather Knight's side lead by 145 with nine second-innings wickets remaining will be back tomorrow morning aiming to extend that considerably.

South Africa have already been so much better in the field compared to yesterday.

England are confidently defending their way to stumps here, attacking just 24% of balls - a far cry from their overall attacking shot percentage of the first innings (41%).

Nonkululeko Mlaba down the leg side and when Tammy Beaumont misses with a sweep, the ball beats Sinalo Jafta as well before running away for four byes.

Beaumont nails the sweep a couple of balls later, thumped off a leg stump line, behind square for four.

They will squeeze in one last over before stumps.

Nat Sciver-Brunt has her pads on, so it looks like there's going to be no nightwatcher.

Tumi Sekhukhune starts with a maiden and the variable bounce is in evidence again as the last ball stays very low.

Kept out by Heather Knight and we'll have time for two more overs at a push.

We've got about 10 minutes left in the day, perhaps slightly less, and South Africa are making another bowling change. Tumi Sekhukhune replaces the expensive Annerie Dercksen.

When she's bowling like that, Mlaba is such a good bowler.

She gets purchase off the surface, she bowls at a lovely pace, and every couple of deliveries, there's a short, slow, wide one.

Beauty from Nonkululeko Mlaba.

Tossed up, drifting in to the right-handed Heather Knight and then turning away to beat the bat.

The England skipper does well not to overbalance.

A single follows before Mlaba produces another beauty, this time beating Tammy Beaumont with one that rips away even more.

It was an interesting call to take Ayanda Hlubi out of the attack given the start she'd made and, to this point, it is not working for South Africa.

Another short, wide one is timed through the off side for four by Heather Knight, who then pulls another short ball powerfully for another boundary.

A single eased to extra cover ends the over. Nine runs from it.

Something South Africa will have to be mindful of is making England work as hard as they can for runs.

Nonkululeko Mlaba is not afraid to give the ball some air and really tests Tammy Beaumont with six flighted but extremely accurate deliveries.

A hint of spin as well. Maiden.

Big call from Laura Wolvaardt as she turns to spin. Nonkululeko Mlaba is on early after taking four wickets in the first innings.

What can the left-arm spinner do this time?
