Mangaliso Mosehle isn't having much luck with these bats - he's cracked another one as he uses it to fend off a pacey short ball from Liam Plunkett.

Here's Tom Curran claiming his maiden international wicket. It took him the grand total of two balls to dismiss Reeza Hendricks.

Dawson responds to that chastening by bowling a little fuller, and Mangaliso Mosehle clips him off his hips for an easy single. This is better from South Africa than it was down at Southampton. A bit more oomph behind the batting.

In the first game, Dawson was allowed to bowl to the South African batsmen, who didn't really do much.

Time for some spin. Here's Liam Dawson, and JJ Smuts gives him all of two balls to settle before he turns his wrists and launches the ball over the deep mid-wicket boundary. That's the longest boundary, and Smuts has timed that swipe perfectly.

That was Mosehle's fifth six in 31 balls of international cricket.

Mangaliso Mosehle follows up that six with a lofted four. He doesn't catch all of the ball but there's enough on the drive to send it to the boundary. He rounds off the over with a casual forward defensive, the very picture of serenity.

He couldn't have middled it, because he didn't clear the boundary, but he will feel better about that. He'll be even better when he gets a decent bat in his hand and not one that has fallen apart.

There we go! A decent length ball from Tom Curran and Mangaliso Mosehle leans back and pulls handsomely over the ropes for six. And he's broken his bat in the process, as a sub comes charging on with some replacements tucked under his arm.

England have bowled well. This is not a South Africa side with batsmen brim full of confidence. It is interesting to see De Villiers down the order. If Mosehle has been sent out with a licence to attack we haven't seen it yet.

JJ Smuts launches into a straight drive and Tom Curran briefly considers sticking out a hand to catch it, but he withdraws it pretty quickly. That was smashed by the batsman and the ball ricochets into the stumps at teh non-striker's end, knocking the bails off before running away for four runs. That's the very definition of leathering a cricket ball.

Plunkett offers a little word of advice to JJ Smuts, who is leaning on his bat on the non-striker's end, as he continues to come charging in. It's another good over from England, Plunkett offering up nothing to hit, and South Africa can only take three runs from the over.

Here's Liam Plunkett. As an aside, these England shirts are dreadful looking things. At least have the stripes going all the way around the shirts, lads. Plunkett comes steaming in and Mangaliso Mosehle gets himself into a real tangle, trying to play across the line.

Here's the first six of the match, duly smashed down the ground by JJ Smuts.

Close again for Tom Curran! JJ Smuts throws his hands at a full delivery and just avoids getting another edge onto the stumps. These deliveries are coming down at a decent pace, too, and Curran gets a round of applause as he takes his cap from the umpire.

That's not a bad way to announce yourself in international cricket. This looks like a change of attack from South Africa - it's Mangaliso Mosehle in at three, rather than AB de Villiers.

I played against Tom Curran's dad, Kevin, and he was a fantastic competitor. It makes me feel old.

It feels like one of those days where the bowlers and fielders have to expect they are going to get smashed at some point.
