Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialIn 90% of grounds that second Stokes boundary would've been a six but the ropes are so far back at the Ageas Bowl.

Stokes 63, Buttler 8
AB de Villiers is still shaking his head. I'd love to know why. Has he asked the ball to be changed, or have the umpires suggested something more sinister? This won't improve his mood, as Stokes twice fetches Keshav Maharaj to the leg-side fence, hitting with the (non-existent) spin.

Image source, Getty ImagesAB de Villiers is still chatting to umpire Rob Bailey, looking thoroughly perplexed when it's all over. I'm not sure I've ever seen AB so miffed. When a Rabada short ball is called wide, most of the South Africa team join AB in looking hacked off. Lots of teapots out there. Cheer up, fellas. You're on tour here until August.

Kyle Utterson: Daft topic talking about handsome men playing Test cricket. That said both Root and Buttler are much better looking.

What's going on here? AB de Villiers is having a long, animated chat with the umpires over the state of one of the balls. Is the skipper asking for a change, or have the umpires got a problem? The crowd are jeering too. It takes a while to get back under way, with no change of ball...

Rabada 7-0-30-2
Looking again, it was too close for Morgan to be cutting. It was too full, not wide enough. De Kock had to dive forwards to take a smart catch. Jos Buttler is the new man.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialIt didn't bounce - I think it hit the under edge. Eoin Morgan was looking good - me and my big mouth! A bit of a nothing delivery, short and wide, but South Africa won't mind.

Morgan c De Kock b Rabada 45 (Eng 175-4)
Finally, South Africa cling on to one and claim a wicket they dearly needed. Eoin Morgan cuts at Kagiso Rabada, gets a little under-edge and Quinton de Kock does the rest behind the stumps. Games just edged back towards being in the balance.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialFull of confidence that 50 from Stokes. He had a bit of trouble with the spinner early on but then went up the gears.

A 48-ball half-century for Ben Stokes, who is making South Africa pay for dipping their fingers in butter. His 10th in ODIs.

Edged! Over the slip! Ben Stokes, already dropped twice, throws the beans at Kagiso Rabada and slices it over Hashim Amla. To be fair, the way Amla was catching earlier, he'd probably have dropped it. Stokes celebrates by biffing down the ground for four. He's on 49...

Comedian & BBC Test Match Special statisticianEngland have scored 296 or more in 10 straight matches. Prior to that they scored 236 in Cape Town in February 2016.
The last time they registered a score under around 220 in a home game was against Australia at Old Trafford in September 2015, when they scored 138.

Morgan 45, Stokes 41
Left-arm spin of Keshav Maharaj back into the attack, Morgan dabbling and nurdling the ball around. Maharaj isn't really turning the ball, but he threatens the outside edge of both of these left-handers with a little drift. Morgan, who was hit earlier, has to carry out some repairs to his helmet.
