Jamie Smith is so good - a very good knock. And yet... should he be trying to go on and get a big one? Always seems to getting to 40+ and then getting out to a big shot.
John, Bath
Jacob Bethell comes in at number four - he made 58 from 40 balls at Lord's having been promoted a couple of places up the order, holding that place today.
He gets going from his second ball, pushing Maharaj to mid-on.

He's played some great shots. He had one huge slice of luck, after which he played terrifically.
Keshav Maharaj has the confidence to bowl slowly and it seems like the England batters don't seem to quite give him the respect he deserves.
Smith c Bosch b Maharaj 62 (Eng 117-2)
Bosch takes catch at long-on to dismiss Smith for 62
Jamie Smith falls second ball after drinks!
The England opener advances down the pitch to Keshav Maharaj and tries to strike the spinner over long-on.
He doesn't get enough on it and Corbin Bosch takes the catch out in the deep.
Smith departs having added 29 after being dropped, but he might rue not pushing on to a really big score having looked in good touch.
A pair of consecutive twos for Jamie Smith, sending the ball close to the mid-wicket fielder and then seeing it cut-off the ropes at long-on.
The players will take drinks, with England going along nicely.
WinViz is enjoying this start by England....

Jamie Smith sends his penultimate delivery through mid-wicket for another four, bringing up the 50 partnership from 38 balls.
We've only had four overs without boundaries today - the first two, the ninth where the wicket fell and the 11th with the drop.

He's capitalising on that freakish bit of fielding.
Eng 102-1
Half-century for the England opener!
Jamie Smith reaches 50 for the second time in this series, having been dropped on 23.
He brings up England's hundred with a four through the covers off Wiaan Mulder, then brings up the landmark with two sent square.
It comes from 38 balls, with eight fours and one six.
Jamie Smith adds two more through mid-wicket to close Corbin Bosch's over.
The seamer only conceded four runs off the bat from his first four overs at Lord's - today the total is 29.

Jamie Smith's so good at getting on top of the ball and generating pace. So strong.
Smith hits Bosch over fine-leg for six
Six and four!
Jamie Smith heaves Corbin Bosch's delivery over the fine-leg boundary for the game's first six, then works the next ball through mid-wicket for four.
Smith has scored 18 off 11 balls since he was dropped.

Jamie Smith looks to punish South Africa for missing that chance - his works Wiaan Mulder off his legs for four.
A further single takes him to 31 from 28 balls.

Jamie Smith made 54 in the first match of this series - might he now press on to a similar score today?

I think he got his feet tangled - he almost tripped himself up.
I don't know what he was doing there.
Absolute shocker.
I'd have lost my mind if someone dropped a ball like that off my bowling.
Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special commentator

Astonishing.
Eng 68-1
'Astonishing drop' - Breetzke fumble at extra cover keeps Smith at the crease
Eeeesh, that's a bad drop.
Jamie Smith tries to whip Corbin Bosch's delivery out through the leg side and gets a big leading edge, looping into the off side.
It should be a simple enough catch for Matthew Breetzke, backing away a touch at extra cover, but he stumbles as the ball comes down and spills the chance while trying to take it fingers up.

You feel like if you were having a boxing match with Joe Root you'd throw your biggest punch and he'd just sway out the way.
He just ducks and weaves and knocks it wherever.
Wiaan Mulder takes the last over of the powerplay, replacing Codi Yusuf.
His first delivery is on the legs of Joe Root and the England number three turns it away for a first four.
One single follows in the next five deliveries, back go the fielders.
