SA vs AUS, Second Test: Boland strikes twice for Australia on rain-hit opening day at St. George’s Park

Scott Boland made an immediate impact during the opening day of the second Test, claiming two wickets in consecutive deliveries to leave South Africa at 20 for two. The Australian seamer dismissed Aiden Markram for 11 and David Bedingham for a duck before inclement weather forced play to conclude early.

Only one hour of action was possible after Australia elected to bowl first, with debutant Marques Ackerman and captain Temba Bavuma remaining at the crease when stumps were called. The match also marked the return of Kagiso Rabada to the South African lineup.
