South Africa stuttered to 20-2 in the 12.2 overs possible on a rain-hit day one of the second Test against Australia as Scott Boland struck twice in as many balls.
South Africa struggled to 20-2 on a rain-shortened opening day of the second Test against Australia in Gqeberha. Australian fast bowler Scott Boland made an immediate impact by claiming two wickets in two balls, dismissing Aiden Markram for 11 and David Bedingham for a duck. Inclement weather permitted only 12.2 overs of play at St George's Park before officials abandoned the day's action.
Australia entered the match holding a 1-0 series lead after winning the opener in Durban by 214 runs. The visitors opted for an all-pace attack, omitting premier spinner Nathan Lyon in favor of Boland. Debutant Marques Ackerman and captain Temba Bavuma survived until stumps for South Africa.
