Not a great start from Hlubi as she over-steps with her second ball and concedes a free hit.
Bouchier attempts a big leg side shot but spoons the ball in the air at mid-off, where a simple catch is put down.
The England opener runs a single while the ball's in the air.
Four from the first ball!
Short from Hlubi but the ball didn't get up much and Bouchier hacks it round the corner for a first boundary.
Right, time to get on with it.
England openers Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge are out in the middle, right-arm seamer Ayanda Hlubi has the ball in hand.

This is problematic for England and is a very similar situation to the West Indies game in the World Cup. It's not been an outstanding game for them in the field and the seamers certainly struggled a little bit.

It's not the best batting track out there and it's going to require a solid batting performance from England.

A typically miserly spell from Ecclestone in South Africa's innings, finishing with 1-18 from her four overs. She found 2.7° of spin on average and drew a false shot one in every three balls.
In helpful conditions, England will have to be wary of the threat of her opposite number, Nonkululeko Mlaba in the second innings
England spinner Charlie Dean, talking on Sky Sports: "I'm really happy to get back on the pitch. I bowled in different areas of the game and I'm happy with how it went.
"We were trying to assess the pitch as we went. There was more bounce than in the World Cup so we tried to use that to our advantage and get them playing against the ball. If you're on the stumps you've got a chance."
On the wicket of Laura Wolvaaardt: "Length is so important to Wolfie, she is so good through the covers but has improved her way through the leg side. That wicket means a lot. She scores a lot of runs so it is an important one."
On the chase: "We're feeling pretty confident. We kept them down and we're confident our batters can put us in a good position."
Thanks Ffion.
I don't know about expertly, but guide you I will.
A reminder that South Africa are without three of their frontline bowling options in Marizanne Kapp, Ayabonga Khaka and Chloe Tryon which should make England's job a little easier.
And that's my cue to hand you over to Mike Peter, who will expertly guide you through England's chase.
A misfield at long-on from Freya Kemp allows the batters to scramble back for two, and that is brilliant from De Klerk who finishes unbeaten on 29 from 16 balls.
After a top-order wobble, Annerie Dercksen held the innings together with 26 from 29 balls.
Two wickets for Charlie Dean, one apiece for Sarah Glenn, Sophie Ecclestone and Freya Kemp - and England need 143 to win.
Four more!
Drilled straight again, and what a cracking cameo this has been from Nadine de Klerk.
Five wides.
Pressure on Bell.
Thumped down the ground for four from Nadine de Klerk!
Lauren Bell will bowl England's final over.
Annerie Dercksen drives the first ball for a single.

South Africa will be eyeing up 130 comfortably. England will be looking to get a hustle on and will want to get the innings finished as quickly as possible.
Two more to De Klerk, who sprints back after lofting the ball down the ground to long-off.
She then adds four more precious runs with a tickle past short fine leg, and that helps South Africa get over a run-a-ball.
Costly end to what had started off as a great over from Ecclestone.
Three dot balls from Sophie Ecclestone to start the penultimate over...
Heather Knight prevents an almost-certain boundary with a brilliant diving save at extra cover, but the ball ricochets off her hands and into her head which means a mandatory concussion check - but she is thankfully fine.
Charlie Dean ends a very good spell with 2-20.
Nadine de Klerk has added some much-needed impetus into South Africa's innings.
A streaky edge flies over point for a couple before whipping one out to mid-wicket for two more.
Good running from this pair.
That'll do nicely.
Nadine de Klerk scoops over her shoulder for four, before Lauren Bell gets away with a full toss that only concedes a single.
