We still have to bowl: Proteas pitch warning to Aussies

South Africa batting coach Ashwell Prince has warned Australia that batting last at St George's Park could prove treacherous as surface divots firm up under the sun. Despite slipping to 5-97 by stumps on day two of the second Test in Gqeberha, the Proteas remain confident that deteriorating pitch conditions and their bowling attack can turn the match in their favor.

Australian paceman Scott Boland exploited the grass-covered pitch to take 4-31, placing South Africa in trouble after early dismissals including debutant Marques Ackerman and Matthew Breetzke. However, captain Temba Bavuma resisted with an unbeaten 41, while the Proteas also welcome back fast bowler Kagiso Rabada from a hamstring injury.
