We're used to seeing England go hell for leather in the powerplay but there's been a bit of a different approach today.
Target 334
A tidy start. Just the three from it.
Will we see an acceleration from England soon? It feels like this chase just needs a bit of energy.
A change of bowling. Here's the leg-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi.
Ebony Rainford-Brent
Former England batter on Test Match Special
I wanted it but it was just a long way to go all around the ground.
Henry Moeran
BBC Test Match Special
The question on many people's minds: did you go for your proper fish and chips?
Target 334
A half-hearted appeal as Jonny Bairstow misses one down the leg side.
A great tumbling stop from Quinton de Kock behind the stumps but there was no bat. England looking a lot more comfortable now.
Henry Moeran
BBC Test Match Special
Just almost patting the ball on its head and helping it around the corner. But such is the form Bairstow is in, it flies away to the boundary.
Ebony Rainford-Brent
Former England batter on Test Match Special
If England do find that timing and flow then runs will come quickly. They won't hold back with this line-up.
Don't drop Jonny Bairstow! Nortje drops one short, it's quick but Bairstow's hands are quicker.
He jabs it past mid-wicket for four.
Ebony Rainford-Brent
Former England batter on Test Match Special
He did all the hard work. He held himself a fraction to get the timing of the jump right, he held the pose and then just took his eye off it and snatched at the ball.
Frustrating for the bowler.
Henry Moeran
BBC Test Match Special
It almost looked as though Miller mistimed the jump. He leapt with one hand and the ball squirmed out. Should have taken it.
Eng 47-0
Oh, nearly! Bairstow fluffs one up in the air towards mid-off where David Miller tries to take the ball over his head but parries it over the crossbar.
Not the easiest, but he's such a brilliant fielder he'd expect to take it.
12 degrees! How good does that sound. (Yes I know I'll be moaning that it's too cold in a few days.)
Henry Moeran
BBC Test Match Special
It is. There are lows of 12 degrees here tomorrow...
James Anderson
England bowler on Test Match Special
I think that's understandable given the conditions.
Henry Moeran
BBC Test Match Special
It's unusually quiet here today.
Target 334
More luck for Jason Roy! It's a good length ball from Anrich Nortje that is swiped into the leg side and somehow goes for four.
That was an ugly shot. A shot of a man who is desperate for some runs.
England have put the loose ball away nicely. They also managed to hit a six in the third over - something South Africa didn't manage once in 50.
James Anderson
England bowler on Test Match Special
It looks like England are setting their stall out to do something they haven't done for a while, bat the 50 overs.
Target 334
A slow but steady start from England's openers which is not usually the approach that we see from them.
But South Africa have bowled well and worked out the pitch pretty quickly. This one's going to go deep.
