I'd like to see Lauren Filer and Lauren Bell bowl straighter. There weren't many balls hitting the stumps on the pitch maps. England have plenty of options with the ball, though.

You see a surface like that as a spinner and you want a pitch like that, which turns. If England can bowl anything like Nonkululeko Mlaba did then South Africa will struggle.
For as long as there is play today, it will be the turn of the England bowlers to make things happen on day two.
South Africa's spinners enjoyed plenty of success after tea on day one with the pitch offering turn already.
That will most definitely be of interest to Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean. But given the ball is just six overs old, the seamers will likely have a job to do first.
The players are out and it is going to be seam to start, Lauren Filer is at the top of her mark and ready to go...
The bad news - especially in a four-day Test - is that the forecast suggests precious time could be lost today.
From midday in Bloemfontein, there is a decent chance of rain for the remainder of the day.
As ominous as that sounds, there was a lot of chat about a storm blowing in yesterday and that never arrived so you never know...

Maia Bouchier went through a tough time in the World Cup but you have to go through those difficult moments and come out a stronger player.
She was absolutely outstanding, especially on Test debut to score a run-a-ball hundred. She was backed up by Nat Sciver-Brunt, the world's best.

It was a joy to watch England bat yesterday. The rate at which they scored and they both went at a decent click. I was most impressed with Maia Bouchier - she showed calmness, composure and her technique was superb.

Image source, Getty ImagesWhen Maia Bouchier dropped her third catch against West Indies during England's shock elimination from the Women's T20 World Cup, the camera picked up an expression of both heartbreak and complete disbelief on her face.
On that day, England were shell-shocked as they went from being one of the pre-tournament favourites to having their entire team dynamic scrutinised.
But fast forward exactly two months and things could not be more different for Bouchier.
Heartbreak was replaced by a beaming grin and a youthful giddiness as she kissed the England badge on her helmet, an uncontrollable release of emotion in an embrace with batting partner Nat Sciver-Brunt upon reaching three figures on her Test debut.

The sun is shining in Bloemfontein and after an action-packed first day, we're back for day two of this stand alone Test between South Africa and England.
Heather Knight's side enjoyed the better of things yesterday, batting first and declaring on 395-9 after centuries from Maia Bouchier and Nat Sciver-Brunt.
South Africa's openers got through six tricky overs before stumps to reach 17-0 but the home side have work to do today to get up towards first-innings parity.
