I mentioned the grassy banks earlier which are bathed in evening sunshine. There are groups of kids playing cricket on them.

Lovely scenes.

Anrich Nortje comes back well, hurling the ball down over 90mph.

Still, this is going pretty smoothly for England, isn't it?

There goes Anrich Nortje. Flicked off the pads to fine leg by Dawid Malan.

Time for a change of pace. Here's Anrich Nortje.

Aiden Markram is thrown into the attack but Jason Roy's response is to power him over mid-off for six. Flat, fast and hard.

Markram gets one to turn later in the over and even finds Dawid Malan's edge. The problem is England have bashed away the close fielders and the ball races through where a slip would have stood.

16 runs from the over.

Ten overs gone and England are well-placed although saying that they're 20 runs behind where South Africa were at this stage.

Crikey Dawid Malan looks in good touch. He hardly moves his feet but with a waft of those silky hands he sends the ball out of the reach of the fielder diving at backward point.

"Four more, to the Eng-er-land, four more," is the chant from the stands.

JP has gone big...

Oh and here's another cover drive special to add to the list! It's Jason Roy with his best shot yet. Don't bother running after that one.

Bloemfontein looks the place to be at the moment. The sun is shining on those grassy banks.

Just one from the over.

And now Rabada follows up with a tidy set of six balls. Better from the Proteas after a wayward start.

That's a better over from left-armer Wayne Parnell. South Africa do have the thunderbolt thrower Anrich Nortje lurking in the outfield. I wonder how long until he charges in.

There's plenty for Temba Bavuma to think about. Don't forget South Africa's automatic qualification for the World Cup is in real doubt. They need some wins.

This has been a rubbish start from South Africa's bowlers.

Four more to Jason Roy!

It's like it's 2019 again. Divock Origi will be banging in Champions League winners before long.

Hello, Jason Roy! It's good to have you with us again.

First he drives through the covers and then he flicks off his pads. Both shots result in boundaries.

He's even stealing the strike at the end of the over.

Dawid Malan is off to a flyer here. It's the fearsome Kagiso Rabada with ball in hand but he punishes the seamer with three boundaries in his first over.

It's not good from Rabada. One too wide, one too straight. England are away.

Well that should settle Jason Roy down. A lovely start.

Well that's not a bad way to start.

Jason Roy, without and international half-century for 14 innings, flicks his third ball from left-armer Wayne Parnell off his toes. It perfectly splits a gap between two fielders and cannot be stopped before reaching the rope.

I can see Jason Roy and Dawid Malan wandering out to the middle. England's chase is about to begin.

This is a big innings for Jason Roy with Phil Salt, Alex Hales, Will Jacks and others breathing down his neck.

He really could do with a score and he hasn't had one of those in a long time.

Do you think England skipper Grace Scrivens is happy to be in the final?

We an now confirm we will have live text and radio commentary of the Under-19 World Cup final between England and India on Sunday.
