  1. SA 175-4published at 32.1 overs

    Moeen Ali is back into the attack after drinks and starts with a ripper! From around the wicket to the left-handed Miller, he pitches it on middle-and-off and the ball grips to turn sharply past the outside edge.

    Bowling, Mo!

    England have recovered slightly in their Women's Under-19 semi-final against Australia, but have been bowled out for 99 off the penultimate ball.

    However, having been 38-6 they have now at least got something to bowl at.

    Alexa Stonehouse top-scored with 25, and shared 46 with Josie Groves for the eighth wicket.

    The winner will face India in Sunday's final, after Shafali Verma's side beat New Zealand by eight wickets earlier.

    Follow the chase.

  3. drinks break

    SA 175-4published at 32 overs

    Van der Dussen 54, Miller 2

    After an expensive opening spell, Archer does his economy rate a favour with a tidy over that costs only four singles.

    At this point, it's just good to see him back in an England shirt.

    Anyway, time for another drinks break and news from the Women's U19 World Cup semi-final...

  5. SA 171-4published at 31 overs

    David Miller is the new batter for South Africa and the left-hander defends the last ball of a successful Adil Rashid over.

    Van der Dussen and Klaasen were going along nicely so England will be very pleased to birng that 55-run stand to an end.

    Plumb in front!

    Adil Rashid makes the breakthrough as Heinrich Klaasen tries to sweep. He misses, the ball thuds into his shin and the umpire raises his finger.

    Klaasen didn't even consider a review. That looked pretty adjacent. Important wicket for England.

    50 for Rassie van der Dussenpublished at 30 overs

    SA 167-3

    A tight single to mid-off but Rassie van der Dussen makes his ground and reaches his 12th ODI half-century.

    As ever, it has been a measured knock to bring up the milestone from 63 balls. He'll look to accelerate later in the innings but he's done his bit in holding this innings together so far.

  8. 6 runs

    SA 166-3published at 29.2 overs

    Hammered for six! Back of a length from Stone and Klaasen nails the pull shot well in front of square, just over the rope!

    A wonderful shot to bring up the 50 partnership.

  9. SA 160-3published at 29 overs

    After singles from the first five balls, Adil Rashid drags the last one short and Rassie van der Dussen is across his stumps to sweep the ball behind square.

    Four more and this pair are building nicely for the Proteas now.

  10. SA 151-3published at 28 overs

    Good over from Stone. Just two runs from it, the first of them taking the home side to 150 and bringing a polite ripple of applause from those in attendance.

    The England quick ends the over with a bumper that rushes Van der Dussen, who gets in a bit of a tangle, but the ball drops safely on the off side.

    Prior to that boundary, the South African pair had just been looking to milk Rashid for singles. They know the threat the leggie can pose and don't want to take too many risks just yet.

    However, Klaasen shows that when the bad ball comes, he'll still be ready to punish it.

  12. 6 runs

    SA 149-3published at 26.5 overs

    Too short from Adil Rashid and Heinrich Klaasen rocks back and pummels the ball over deep mid-wicket for a maximum! Big hit.

    That is just the third boundary in the 17 overs since the powerplay.

    Nearly another wicket for Olly Stone. He tests Klaasen out with a short ball, the right-hander takes it on but doesn't get hold of it at all with a pull shot.

    The ball hangs in the air but the man in the deep on the leg-side is square, the ball goes towards deep mid-wicket and Klaasen survives. Adding two runs to the total in the process.

    Thanks, Matt. Halfway through the innings and it is pretty much even stevens.

    Sadly, that is not the case in the Women's U19 World Cup semi-final where England, despite an unbroken 27-run stand for the eighth wicket, are currently 72-7 against Australia.

    Follow that one here.

  15. SA 135-3published at 25 overs

    I'm pretty sure every time I turn on a TV Rassie van der Dussen is 30-odd not out. I have hardly mentioned him but he's there again. I think he was born unbeaten in the 30s.

    Anyway luckily for you it's time for Sam Drury to take over.

    Six singles come in Olly Stone's second over. There's a Love Island pun in there somewhere, given the villa is just a Ben Stokes throw away.

    It's been a long, dry January from a cricket perspective. How happy I am to see England back in the field.

    Heinrich Klassen is the new batter for South Africa. He's in good touch, having hit three fifties in his last five innings in the SA20.

  19. SA 117-3published at 22 overs

    What a bonus that was for England.

    Olly Stone is in the Liam Plunkett middle-over enforcer role in this XI.

    You'd have to say, on this pitch, Jos Buttler's side are probably just on top now.

    Olly Stone strikes with his first ball! It's as soft as a plate of mushy peas from Aiden Markram who has just chipped a catch straight to extra cover.

    Stone is beaming. He doesn't care.
