South Africa v England: women’s Test cricket international, day two – as it happened

Lauren Bell took four wickets as South Africa slumped from 237-3 to 281 all out, allowing England to build a 145-run lead

Bosch pushes at a ball that she could have left a hundred times out of a hundred and nibbles behind.

7th over: South Africa 21-0 (Wolvaardt 12, Bosch 6) Three slips and a gully stand and wait as Lauren Filer runs in with the first ball of the day, an inswinger on the money. From there Filer is a little wayward, drifting legside. Woolvaardt nudges one of them down to the rope.
