DAY 2: Bouchier, Sciver-Brunt centuries drive England at Bloemfontein
Hello and welcome back to Bloemfontein for day two of the women's test between South Africa and England. The visitors made the running on the opening day, thanks to centuries from Nat Sciver-Brunt and Maia Bouchier, the latter on debut.
South Africa did battle back with the ball, thanks principally to Nonkululeko Mlaba, who struck four times with her left-arm spin. But that prospect is an inviting one for England's own slow-bowling department. Sophie Ecclestone had just the one over before the close, but expect her to be busy today...
SOUTH AFRICA: Laura Wolvaardt (capt), Anneke Bosch, Annerie Dercksen, Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, Nadine de Klerk, Chloe Tryon, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Tumi Sekhukhune, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Ayanda Hlubi
ENGLAND: Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight (capt). Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Amy Jones (wk), Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Lauren Filer, Lauren Bell.
