    Anneke Bosch has played nicely so far...

    It's a fantastic attempt. You can hear the appreciation from the crowd.

  3. SA 46-0published at 8 overs

    More spin for England as all-rounder Bryony Smith comes into the attack to send down some of her off-spin.

    "Catchhh" shouts Amy Jones as Anneke Bosch looks to drive down the ground but it is well short of Katherine Brunt at long-on.

    There are more shouts as Lara Goodall reverse sweeps away. This is closer as Danni Wyatt tries to run in for the point boundary and take the catch but the ball bounces short. She does well to stop the boundary in the end.

  4. SA 38-0published at 7 overs

    It is just a one-over spell for Sophie Ecclestone initially - she did that on Thursday too.

    Leg-spinner Sarah Glenn is into the attack.

    There's a chat for lbw off the final ball of the over as Lara Goodall looks to ramp away. England decide it and umpire Sue Redfern indicates to Glenn that she thought the ball was going down the leg side.

    It's very important here that South Africa keep going and try and get something that they can defend.

    South Africa have never won batting first against England.

    That's a good end to the powerplay from Anneke Bosch.

    Nat Sciver sends down a back of the hand slower ball but Bosch waits for it and then clubs it over mid-off and it runs away to the boundary.

    It's been a much better start from the tourists. The run-rate isn't much to write home about but they've got wickets in hand to attack throughout the rest of the innings at least.

    I know Sophie is England's best bowler but you have to try and score against her. Maybe not even boundaries but at least rotate the strike.

    It's a good start for England here who have pegged South Africa back with the last two overs.

  9. SA 26-0published at 5 overs

    A first look at spin today as England bring left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone into the attack. She's the number-one ranked bowler in the world in this format.

    She starts brilliantly with four dot balls before Anneke Bosch sweeps away for a single.

    Great start from Ecclestone, though.

    South Africa are maintaining this good progress and this is so important for them.

    Their moral has been well and truly thrashed over the last few games.

  11. SA 25-0published at 4 overs

    England really rotated their bowlers in the first T20 on Thursday and it looks like we're in for more of the same today.

    Freya Davies, who has come into the side for her first appearance of the summer, replaces Nat Sciver.

    She is targeting the stumps, which England did brilliantly two days ago, and it initially restricts Anneke Bosch before she gives herself some room and hits away through mid-wicket.

    This is a better start for the tourists.

    The way the batters are timing the ball suggests this is a very good batting wicket.

    That's a lovely crisp shot.

    Bosch is looking in good nick here.

  14. SA 18-0published at 3 overs

    Good over for South Africa.

    Anneke Bosch plays a glorious straight drive to pick up a second boundary, before the balls run fine, off the pad, for another.

    Sophie Ecclestone then does brilliantly to get across at mid-on and stop another certain boundary. That's three runs saved.

  15. SA 8-0published at 2 overs

    It is England's stand-in captain Nat Sciver from the other end.

    She offers Anneke Bosch a little bit too much width and the right-hander climbs into the drive and threads it beautifully through the covers for the first boundary.

    That's unlucky. Lara Goodall, who has had a difficult tour, plays a gorgeous straight drive to end the over but it hits the stumps at the non-striker's end.

    There's a little bit of swing from Katherine Brunt.

    I'd be surprised if England didn't get another catcher behind the wicket.

  17. SA 3-0published at 1 overs

    Tidy start from Katherine Brunt, conceding just three singles from her first over.

    It turns out that Alice Capsey was 10 days old when Brunt made her England debut.

    Don't you just love stuff like that? Sport is great.

    Going into the Commonwealth Games England will be defining their game plans. Winning the toss and bowling first is quite fashionable right now in international T20 cricket.

  19. Postpublished at 14:31 British Summer Time 23 July 2022

    It will be Katherine Brunt with the new ball.

    South Africa need to handle her much better than they did two days ago.

    This is England's first T20 international at New Road in Worcester.

    They've played seven one-day internationals at the ground though, and their record isn't great to be honest.

    They've won three of those game and lost four.

    The players are out in the middle and we're almost ready to go. There's a decent crowd in at New Road.
