4.53pm The interval has been extended by five minutes due to the heat, and the ECB have released a statement too, given some concerns - including Matt Potts' extended absence from the field:
"Given today's extreme heat, we are keeping the welfare of spectators and players under constant review. We are providing regular information to the crowd about keeping hydrated and finding shade, and have brought in additional support to help anyone who is unwell. Extra drinks breaks have been added for the players. We continue to monitor the situation closely."
4.49pm Well, that was tough going. A magnificent, career-best 133 from Rassie van der Dussen has underpinned South Africa's highest total in ODIs in England... but they'll feel they left a few runs out there. England stuck to their task, in spite of their lack of rewards.
Janneman Malan: "South Africans are used to this weather but it felt like an oven. We knew the first ten overs might be potential to score some runs, me and Rassie, he was in a good space, he carried that partnership. The square boundary is very big and the bounce is up and down. But it's a good wicket. Lovely being here with a full crowd. I back ourselves to bowl well and bowl smart."
Highest men's ODI totals without a six:
345/8 - Sri Lanka vs West Indies, Hambantota 2020
333/5 - South Africa vs England, Chester-le-Street 2022
333/6 - England vs Australia, Sydney 2011
"Potts is feeling better and will be able to bat," say the ECB

Right, it's been hard yakka for England but the end is nigh. Carse has put in a shift, what can he limit SA to here?
