Steve Smith scores 25 in first Test in South Africa since Sandpaper-gate

Australian batsman Steve Smith recently returned to the crease in South Africa for the first time since completing his twelve-month suspension for the Sandpaper-gate controversy, managing a score of twenty-five runs on the opening day of the test match on Friday. Walking to the crease after two early wickets left the visitors struggling at twenty-four for two, he collaborated with Marnus Labuschagne to compile a sixty-run partnership that steadied the innings at eighty-four for two before both men departed around the interval.
