England 395-9d & 31-1; South Africa 281Hosts lose last seven wickets for 44 runs
England will go into day three of the Bloemfontein Test in a commanding position, after bowling South Africa out for 281 and increasing their lead to 145 at stumps on Monday.
South Africa finished up by bowling seven maiden overs and removing the first-innings centurion Maia Bouchier for a duck when she edged Ayanda Hlubi behind the stumps. But Tammy Beaumont and Heather Knight safely staved off further inroads, consolidating the hard graft from the England bowlers earlier in the day.
