Nonkululeko Mlaba hasn't had a great couple of overs. She needs to go fuller to Nat Sciver-Brunt who is so strong against spin. But if you go too full she will drive you through the covers.

You've got to make sure you've got your plans right and South Africa haven't lately.

England have raced along over the past few overs, with some assistance from poor bowling and the caveat of the under-13 sized boundaries.

Nat Sciver-Brunt reads length so quickly, hopping on to the back foot and carving Nonkululeko Mlaba for four through the covers, before producing some more nifty footwork to play the ball through mid-wicket.

Another big over, with 12 runs coming from it.

Maia Bouchier is much more aggressive in ODI cricket so there is the slightest hint that she's holding back. They are trying to tempt her with width.

Annerie Dercksen tests Bouchier with the short ball but there's very little in this pitch for her to work with.

A thumping pull shot for four more takes England past 150, before she unveils yet another gorgeous straight drive for the same result and that completes a very productive over from the visitors' point of view.

Maia Bouchier moves to 76 with a back-foot punch for four.

She's got some decent timing on it but I just cannot get over the ridiculous boundaries. If you get it past the in-field, it's four every single time no matter how well you've struck it.

Mlaba tossed up a short ball and then it just died in the pitch. There really is very little pace in there but we are seeing a little bit of turn.

Here's the first over of spin for the day, as Nonkululeko Mlaba comes into the attack.

Let's see if there's anything to excite Charlie Dean and Sophie Ecclestone from the England camp.

Well, there won't be if you bowl there. A full delivery is thumped for four by Nat Sciver-Brunt, before the next ball keeps low but it's too short, and she gets that one away to the boundary as well.

A poor delivery from Annerie Dercksen is pulled firmly for four more by Bouchier, but the bowler responds well as Bouchier edges the next one - but it lands short of slip, well-fielded by Anneke Bosch who saves an almost certain boundary.

Sekhukhune has made the England batters play each of her deliveries so far with her stump-to-stump line in this spell. The batters have attacked/rotated 67% deliveries and defended 33% deliveries in the five overs.

England have a Test match just around the corner so the more they play the game, the better. You have to support red-ball cricket domestically too though, once or twice a year doesn't allow players to progress.

Another sumptuous piece of timing from Bouchier.

Tumi Sekhukhune applies the pressure with four dot balls to start the over, but Bouchier waits patiently for her opportunity and gets a leg-stump half-volley to whip away for another boundary.

A testing maiden from Annerie Dercksen to Nat Sciver-Brunt as a duel between the two all-rounders begins.

Hello!

Maia Bouchier has been patient since lunch, as previously mentioned, but from nowhere she goes into white-ball mode with a dismissive lofted drive down the ground for a one-bounce four.

Gorgeous shot from Maia Bouchier, who has been kept quiet since lunch but latches on to some width from Ayana Hlubi and softly guides the ball down to the deep third boundary.

Meanwhile, Tumi Sekhukhune keeps us entertained by desperately trying to keep her wide-brimmed hat in place against the wind, eventually giving up the fight and tucking it into her trousers.

This feels like an important point in the game for England. They only have two dedicated batters left in Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Amy Jones so if South Africa can get a few more wickets they will feel happy.

Nat Sciver-Brunt at her very best, whipping a fuller delivery from Tumi Sekhukhune off her pads for a crisply-timed four.

She then indicates to Maia Bouchier that the ball is moving through the air, but evidently she's reading it pretty well.

You learn so much about your own game when you are playing longer format cricket. The technique which you thought was okay in T20 suddenly gets exposed and you have to work out how to fix it.

It's a great challenge as a cricketer.

Lovely over from Ayanda Hlubi with just a single from it.

She's still quite raw and struggles for control but she's got a beautiful action and I think she looks like she will be a good prospect for South Africa when she learns her craft a little more.

This field that South Africa have put in after lunch means the batters need to play a bit squarer and open the blade, which can tend to force mistakes. Heather Knight has fallen victim.

Oh, that's a shocker.

Nat Sciver-Brunt defends nonchalantly to mid-on from her first ball but the fielder just lets it straight through and because of these pathetically small boundaries, the ball trickles away to the ropes.

England's star all-rounder is off the mark with a gift.

South Africa haven't been particularly bad but their inability to execute the basics consistently is really frustrating.
