    A better - and tighter - over from Khaka. Just two singles from it.

    Chloe Tryon leaves her position at slip to go to extra cover, but skipper Dane van Niekerk is still in at gully.

    The South African bowlers are going to have to up their game here, because England are cruising at the moment.

  5. Eng 33-0published at 5 overs

    Keeper Lizelle Lee - who didn't have the best day behind the timbers on Saturday, to put it mildly, though she made up for it with her batting - is up to the stumps for Khaka. BUt the right-armer, who was so impressive at Worcester, hasn't quite found her line and length bowling up the hill today - Beaumont crashes another four between two diving cover fielders.

    Suddenly it looks like last summer's England side have turned up.

    Jones 15, Beaumont 10

    It's still Kapp from the Cromwell Eoad End - the end where I spent a very pleasant afternoon on a wooden bench last summer, watching the women's Finals Day.

    There's a hint of seam movement from the experienced Kapp, she has a slip in place but Beaumont - her Surrey Stars team-mate last summer - does well to clip a single through mid-wicket. Jones, though, shows Kapp no mercy as she pulls her third four of the afternoon.

    These are the crunch moments in games. South Africa, from their body language, look a bit shocked, but they shouldn't be thrown off this early in the game.

  8. Eng 22-0published at 3 overs

    Now that's a surprise - Ismail is off after one over at the Sea End and Ayabonga Khaka is asked to bowl up the hill. Could there be a change of ends in prospect? It's more of the same from Khaka though, as she opens with a wide and Jones helps herself to two more fours through the covers from a couple of looseners.

  9. Eng 13-0published at 2 overs

    Marizanne Kapp, who played on this ground for Surrey Stars in last year's Super League semi-final, runs up from a carefully painted line which is her bowling mark. Jones and Beaumont pick off three singles, but Kapp keeps it pretty tight.

  10. Eng 10-0published at 1 over

    Jones 1, Beaumont 8

    Jones has a look at the first couple before opening England's account with a single. Beaumont check-drives her first ball over the bowler's head for four, a great way to get your innings up and running. And the last ball of the over is short and wide outside off stump - Beaumont gives it the treament it deserves and clobbers it to the point boundary.

    As you'd expect, there's a decent crowd in at Hove - including plenty of children - to welcome the South African fielders and the England opening pair to the middle. Amy Jones will take strike for the first ball again, accompanied by Tammy Beaumont, with the fiery right-arm pace bowler Shabnim Ismail taking the new ball. Looks like we're starting a minute or two late.

    The boundaries are quite short here, I'm sure the likes of Lizelle Lee and Dane van Niekerk will be eyeing them up.

    England: Amy Jones, Tammy Beaumont, Sarah Taylor (wk), Heather Knight (capt), Natalie Sciver, Danielle Wyatt, Katherine Brunt, Georgia Elwiss, Anya Shrubsole, Laura Marsh, Sophie Ecclestone.

    England vice-captain Anya Shrubsole on TMS: "We knew South Africa would be strong - you don't win many games from 64-6. We knew we didn't play as well as we could, so maybe it's about tweaking our plans slightly.

    "Robbo [coach Mark Robinson] will be happy to be back at his old stomping ground, but we always get a lot of support here, we've got a good record here and hopefully we can do well... even if you have to bowl up the hill!"

    I was quite surprised England made that change, as I thought they picked their strongest team in the first ODI and they haven;t become a bad team overnight - someone like Jenny Gunn is very experienced.

    Georgia Elwiss adds a bit of depth to the batting, but i'd expect much of the same with the ball as they rely a lot on Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole early on, before turning to the spin of Laura Marsh and Sophie Ecclestone.

  16. Elwiss in, Gunn out...published at 12:46 British Summer Time 12 June 2018

    So, one change for England - it's not quite a like-for-like swap between the two seam-bowling all-rounders, as Georgia Elwiss these days is more of a batter who bowls, having begun her career the other way round.

    Jenny Gunn, meanwhile, is left out. She took a bit of tap at Worcester, bowling six wicketless overs for 39.

  17. Captain's viewpublished at 12:42

    England captain Heather Knight: "I was a bit undecided what to do, the pitch is quite dry so I don't mind batting first, but we've got to bat a bit better than we did the other day

    " As a team, we want to play positive, attacking cricket but adapt to the conditions. Jenny Gunn misses out today and Georgia Elwiss comes in."

  18. Captain's viewpublished at 12:38 British Summer Time 12 June 2018

    South Africa captain Dane van Niekerk: "We're going to have a bowl first - not just because of [the win batting second at] Worcester, the conditions suit us. Marizanne [Kapp] and a few players have played here in the Super League finals day.

    "After the heartbreak of the World Cup, that's been our driving force - we don't want to go through that again. We'll stick with the same team."

    News from the middle is that South Africa have won the toss and will field first.

    Afternoon, everyone. It's fair to say that when you reach the top of the tree, there's only one direction in which you can move.

    England's women returned to home soil on Saturday for their first home one-day international since last summer's World Cup victory - and were clearly second best as South Africa triumphed at Worcester.

    Their male counterparts, recently ranked as the number one ODI side in the world, took the high road to Edinburgh on Sunday and, well... let's not intrude on private grief.

    The women's side have headed to Hove today - time to see if they can get their summer back on track.
