Graeme Swann is pleased with the start England have made to their tour of South Africa but is desperate for the momentum to continue.

The team, which travelled back to Bloemfontein o Sunday night after making it two wins from two against the Warriors in Kimberley, opted not to train on Monady ahead of their final warm-up game on Tuesday.

Andrew Strauss' men face South Africa A in a 20-over encounter before ending the week with Twenty20 internationals against the Proteas on Friday and Sunday in Johannesburg and Pretoria respectively.

Swann, the only bowler to impress in the eight-wicket win against the Warriors with his three for 26, is happy with the way the visitors have began, especially considering their recent record of starting tours slowly.

The Nottinghamshire bowler said: "As Andrew Strauss has said before both these games, nearly every tour he's ever been on, England have gone terribly in these warm-up games and don't get anything like the practise and momentum we need out of the games going into a series.

"So, he's put a lot of emphasis on treating them like full internationals and I think we have. Everyone's performed, which is positive."

Swann was also full of praise for the way his captain, who made 117 not out at the De Beers Diamond Oval, had played.

He added: "Yesterday 250 could have been one of those totals which is quite tricky to chase.

"But the way in which Strauss and Joe Denly played at the top bodes very well because they looked very positives.

"They also looked to play a fresh, exciting brand of cricket, which is something we probably need because we've not done it for a while."
