It is absolute sweatsville in Sri Lanka, you just can't stop sweating.
Oooh, nice. Rassie van der Dussen reverse sweeps Moeen Ali's final ball for four to conclude a profitable over for South Africa - 10 from it.

Brydon Carse's action is quite awkward for batters - he seems to rush them quite a lot.
He just needs to whack this wicket as hard as he can time and time again and make these batters do something different.
Brydon Carse is into the attack as Sam Curran takes a deserved breather.
The South African batters are just happy to dab a few singles around with the fielders spread out on the boundary.
It's not getting any cooler, is it?
Runs-wise, South Africa will be happy but England will be delighted to have got rid of the dangerous Quinton de Kock early.
Malan 28, vd Dussen 4
Taunton isn't that far from me but if that rain could stay there, that'd be great. I've got washing on the line.
But the plants in my garden could really do with some rain. Ugh, adult life. What a dilemma.
Anyway, back to the cricket and Moeen Ali's first over goes for three and that concludes the first powerplay.
Even on the hottest day the UK has ever seen, the British summer makes its mark...

The scoring has slowed since Quinton de Kock's departure, unsurprisingly, but Malan eases the pressure with a nicely timed pull shot for four more.

The road to recovery isn't going well. I am off again, for probably more surgery, on Sunday.
I played a club game to test it out and it hasn't pulled up good, so to be ready for the World Cup I'm probably going to have to get it done.
It is the same elbow, there is pain in the same spot. I've been bowling for two or three weeks and getting up to top speed in the nets but it seems to keep deteriorating.
Four more to Malan as Potts drifts onto the pads and is clipped to the fine leg boundary.
Frustration for Potts, who started the over well.
Having watched his opening partner depart, Janneman Malan has started nicely, making his way to 16 from 19 balls at the moment.

I'm in a good mood now that Quinton de Kock is out. I feel like that is a vital wicket because I was a bit worried.
I absolutely hate bowling at him so I'm glad to see the back of him. He has this closed grip and you feel like you can never win with him - he is quite awkward to bowl at.
Rassie van der Dussen is the new man for South Africa. He blocks his first three balls and Sam Curran has 1-9 from his first four overs. Poor Matthew Potts has bowled three wicketless overs for 26 at the other end.

It is a huge wicket. It is brilliantly bowled.
He rolled his fingers down the side and it was an off-cutter and Quinton de Kock was trying to heave into the leg side again, and whether it just came out of the pitch a little slower and it clipped the stumps.
It is a massive wicket for England because De Kock can go big.
De Kock b Curran 19 (SA 35-1)
Maybe not! Curran gets the breakthrough and it's the key wicket of Quinton de Kock.

Matthew Potts is just pushing his length a little bit too full.
This pitch is just dead at the moment.
This pitch is flattttttttt. I think South Africa will be eyeing up something close to 400.
Full, and firmly driven for four down the ground again by Quinton de Kock. Where do you bowl to him?! That was a straight, good length ball from Potts, who's having a tough time out there.

That is well bowled by Sam Curran. It was the wobble seam - we haven't seen anything move off the straight yet so that was a really good ball. It is a little bit of encouragement for the bowlers.
De Kock takes another potentially risky single after dabbing one to mid-wicket but a fumble from Liam Livingstone means they make it safely. A clean take might've been close.
But that's the only run from the over as Curran beats the bat and draws an edge that drops short in a much more challenging over.
