Rain delays play at St George's

Dark skies and pouring rain forced a delay on day two at St George's in Gqeberha. The rain ceased within two hours, but the soggy outfield refused to drain.

Three inspections, no play for hours

Three surface inspections came and went as umpires and ground staff determined the soggy turf too treacherous. Play finally began five hours after the scheduled start.

Hazlewood sidelined by sickness

Josh Hazlewood was battling sickness and absent from St George's Park. Australia bowled with Pat Cummins, Mitch Starc and Scott Boland in a 30-over evening session.

Boland strikes twice as play starts

Scott Boland took two wickets as play finally began. He had Marques Ackerman nick off for six, then Mitchell Starc had Matthew Breetzke edge through to the keeper.

Carey one catch from Test milestone

Alex Carey was one catch away from becoming the fifth Australian wicketkeeper to take 200 catches in Test cricket after Adam Gilchrist, Ian Healy, Rod Marsh and Brad Haddin.

Bavuma's six stops Gqeberha traffic

Temba Bavuma hooked Pat Cummins over the backward square leg boundary for an absolutely massive six. The ball sailed out of the stadium and rolled onto the road.

Renshaw's diving catch stuns everyone

Matt Renshaw produced a remarkable diving catch at full stretch with his right hand in the final minutes. Ryan Rickleton edged towards the men behind the wicket and South Africa reached 5-97 at stumps.
