The Story in 60 Seconds

Cameron Green faces a tight turnaround to be fit for Australia's second Test against South Africa in Gqeberha. Green has not yet resumed batting after suffering an abdominal injury late last month, though head coach Andrew McDonald noted he is progressing well after completing running drills in Durban.

Meanwhile, Josh Inglis has returned to the nets after fracturing his finger and will increase his training intensity. Australia's management will also assess fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood following their Durban victory before deciding on any lineup changes.
