Brunt drills Ntozakhe for a single to deep mid-off, who's standing right on the edge of the circle. Gunn, wielding a bat without any stickers on it, plays out the rest of the over.

More good line and length from Ayabonga Khaka, who sends down another maiden to Gunn - having only conceded 13 runs in six overs, and five of those were wides.

It's been an interesting approach from England - they don't seem to be content with batting time, it's that "positive brand" they often use. But often with that approach, you are going to see things like this happen. They need a little partnership to get going.

Isa Guha on TMS notes that England are into "Test match batting" mode - and not before time - recalling the 2009 Women's Ashes Test, external when some superb stonewalling from Beth Morgan helped England get the draw they needed to retain the Ashes.

You're not missing much action here. A Gunn single means England are up to "triple Richie Benaud".

A penny for the thoughts of coach Mark Robinson, last seen frowning on the England balcony. It's Brunt's turn to play out a maiden over.

I've always been a fan of Dani Hazell - you feel for her at times. She's a different type of bowler to Laura Marsh, who spins the ball a little more and offers you more batting depth. It's a tough call as they're both quality bowlers. Hazell is more of a front-line spinner, Marsh more the all-round package.

Ntozakhe is doing a good job holding an end here with her off-spin. Jenny Gunn, clad in a long-sleeved sweater (or rather one of those ODI slipovers they wear these days) plays out a maiden over.

And here's the first of Khaka's three wickets as her first ball bowls Tammy Beaumont.

Look at how far outside off stump Beaumont is when the ball hits the stumps!

If you're just joining us, if you're a South Africa fan or if you're an English masochist, remember you can watch in-play highlights here. It's as much as our technical boffins can do, to keep up with all these wickets!

These were the first three wickets to fall...

Jenny Gunn comes in at number eight for England - joining Katherine Brunt. Such has been the flurry of wickets, I'd not even had the chance to tell you that Brunt had come in.

Brunt is more used to a destructive cameo towards the end of the innings rather than the long innings she'll have to play here if England are to make a competitive score. She and the experienced Gunn are both off the mark with singles - while Khaka currently has career-best figures, which would be even better if she hadn't bowled all those wides.

Well done to South Africa, they're very much the underdogs here, they've come out and have England against the ropes. If anything, they could have been even more ruthless as they bowled a few loose ones early on and Lizelle Lee has let a couple through. You could say England are lucky to have 61 on the board.

Off-spinner Ntozakhe goes round the wicket to the two right-handers. Again, three singles are added by the fifth-wicket pair.

And if Ebony is congratulating Surrey on promotion, can I add a little plug of my own - saluting Hampshire for winning the Women's County Championship for the first time, having only just come up from Division Two?

England are just weathering the storm here. These two can be very destructive - Sciver hit 180 not out for Surrey the other day to get promotion.

More steady progress by England - these two are pretty rapid between the wickets.

Time for BBC Radio 4 LW listeners to hear a shipping forecast - often needed at New Road, which has a tendency to flood - but plenty of choppy waters for England to negotiate.

Ntozakhe is quickly through her over - you won't often find complaints about over-rates in women's cricket, we''ll be through the first 15 in a shade over an hour, despite four wickets falling - and England add six singles to the score.

Here's how England captain Heather Knight fell lbw to Marizanne Kapp.

Wyatt comes down the track and hits Khaka into the air towards mid-on... but it bounces just in front of, and to the side of the diving fielder and they run a couple. Some hesitancy in the field then allows Sciver to scamper through for a leg bye.
