    South Africa still have a lot of power to add as they bat a long way down the order.

  2. SA 150-3

    Will Jacks' part-time spin is slightly more effective, just four singles off his first over.

    South Africa are just ticking.

    Bit harsh comparing England's greatest ever one-day bowler with a kid who bowls part-time spin and is getting hung out to dry by the management!

    Mark in Garstang

    England's lack of a genuine fifth bowler is really letting South Africa off the hook here. Not maintaining any pressure but giving them boundary balls instead. This lad Breetzke scored 150 on his ODI debut, don't forget...

  4. SA 146-3

    After two overs for 21, Jacob Bethell is whipped out of the attack and replaced by Saqib Mahmood.

    This can't halt the flow of runs, however.

    Too short and slashed past point for four by Matthew Breetzke.

    After 34 overs, there's another rule change coming up. We'll see it for the first time today.

    We'll see the bowling side choose which of the two balls they want to use for the remainder of the innings. I'm looking forward to seeing how that happens.

    Will all the bowlers have a say? Will there be a signal? Will the third umpire have to come out and take the old ball?

    It must be infuriating for Adil Rashid to bowl brilliantly and build up intense pressure at one end, only to see Bethell fritter it away at the other.

  7. SA 138-3

    Again, miserly from Adil Rashid with just four singles ticked off his seventh over.

    South Africa look content to just get him out of the attack before accelerating. Will Harry Brook hold him back for a couple?

  8. South Africa's platform was set by Aiden Markram, who was in sparkling form at Headingley two days ago and carried that forward today.

    He fell short of his half-century with Adil Rashid making the crucial breakthrough.

    Markram falls short of 50 but gives South Africa solid start

    South Africa are targeting the fifth bowler here.

  10. 6 runs

    SA 134-3

    Breetzke hits Bethell for six over cover

    Oh, hello!

    What a shot this is. Breetzke gives himself a little bit of room outside the leg stump and lofts a glorious six over long-off.

    South Africa's number four started quite cautiously but is catching up nicely now.

    Ex-England captain on Test Match Special

    It's a tactical game here, because South Africa will curse if he loses his wicket here. If they are 130-4, England are on top.

  12. SA 124-3

    Rashid could use a little support from the others, though.

    Matthew Breetzke sweeps Jacob Bethell for an authoritative four.

  13. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Breetzke is happy to see Rashid off; England will be wishing it was a Test match and he could keep bowling.

  14. SA 120-3

    A maiden.

    Adil Rashid is bowling beautifully here with 2-17 from his six overs so far.

  15. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    The crowd think that it is out as there is a scratch on the ultra-edge. That was the bat hitting the pad however.

    Definitely not out.

  16. Not out

    Breetzke overturns caught behind decision on review

    Or not.

    There's a clear gap between bat and ball, with the bat grazing against his pad instead.

  17. SA review

    Thanks, Mike.

    And I've immediately delivered a wicket for you - possibly.

    Adil Rashid is convinced that he has Breetzke caught behind but the batter reviews immediately.

  18. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on Test Match Special

    South Africa will be thinking that they can attack Jacob Bethell here, having seen off Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse.

    England still have Will Jacks and Joe Root but the bringing the left-armer on is to try and take the ball away from the right-handers.

  19. SA 120-3

    Ah, here's a fifth bowler for England, with Jacob Bethell's left-arm spin introduced into the attack.

    Matthew Breetzke sweeps his penultimate ball for four as South Africa reach 120 at the half way stage.

    Which means it's time for Ffion Wynne.

    The pitch is slow and has variable bounce - is it worth just bowling a good length with a standard field? As much as I love Harry Brook and his batting, his captaincy certainly needs some work.
