After Beaumont’s adolescence, England had South Africa on the again foot after simply two balls and seemed intent on holding them there.
For the primary two classes, the runs flowed with ease as England have been gifted plentiful dangerous balls to dispatch, helped by the quick boundaries the place even a mistimed prod would race to the ropes as soon as the ball was positioned in a spot.
Beaumont was brilliantly caught by a diving Sune Luus at mid-wicket earlier than Bouchier added an extra 50 with Heather Knight, although the England captain struggled for fluency and was pinned lbw for 20 within the first over after lunch.
After that, Sciver-Brunt and Bouchier hit the accelerator and South Africa wilted within the face of their aggression, with Bouchier’s 124-ball century holding the file for England’s quickest in Checks for simply 29 minutes.
Bouchier gave one probability, as Kapp missed a catch at deep sq. leg which went for six and introduced up the opener’s fifty, however Sciver-Brunt was chanceless and from the second she strode to the center, the century felt inevitable.
The night flurry of wickets dampened the day barely, as England failed to completely assert their dominance.
Amy Jones’ drive was deflected onto the stumps by Mlaba to finish Sciver-Brunt’s innings, Danni Wyatt-Hodge was caught behind off the identical bowler for 12 and Dean edged onto her stumps for eight.
Jones chipped Mlaba to mid-off for a affected person 39 earlier than South Africa took the brand new ball, with Kapp and Ayanda Hlubi eradicating Ecclestone and debutant Ryana Macdonald-Homosexual in fast succession earlier than Knight referred to as her aspect in.
