Australia have taken control of the first Test as Scott Boland continued to rip through South Africa and Matthew Renshaw took a freak catch late in the day.
See the catch and recap the day with our blog.
That’s that
We end our coverage of day two there and with no more rain expected for the match, look forward to the next three days of play.
We will be back from 3.30pm AWST.
Goodnight!
KEEP, BENCH, CUT
The patient were rewarded with an entertaining end to the second day at St George’s Park after rain reduced day two to just a single session.
Stumps
The Proteas end the day 5-97 after we got through 30 overs in the final session.
Mulder survived by the skin of his teeth but Bavuma is holding the home side together with 41 from 108.
Sets up a great day three.
Five slips
The Aussies pack the cordon for the final three balls of the day.
Mulder fighting to survive.
SA 5-97
Bluff
The Aussies send two men to the fence for a short-ball trap but Boland will just stick to his line and length.
SA 5-96
Beaten!
Boland nearly catches Mulder’s edge first ball!
Bad time to be a batter.
SA 5-92
Screamer!!!!!!
The comms box is up in awe as Renshaw snatches a ripper at first slip!
Rickleton gets an outside edge against Boland but Renshaw thought Carey must go for the catch.
When he didn’t he stuck out the right claw and hangs onto it just off the ground.
Outstanding catch in the dying light as Rickleton is out for 31 from 51.
SA 5-92
Dropped!!!
Cummins attacked Rickleton with a leg slip and bowled on the hip.
The South African guided it straight to Marnus who cops it in the chest and it falls to the floor.
It was an awkward height and came fast. It’s Australia’s first drop of the series after going 18-18 in Durban.
SA 4-87
Shadows
The batters will have a tricky period here.
The pitch is now covered by the shadow of the grand stand.
They must stay tight.
SA 4-86
Big boy arms!
Temba has smacked Cummins out onto the street!
The Aussie skipper went short and his opposite number hooked it miles back and it rolls out towards the gates.
Massive statement. A guard had to stop traffic to get the ball!
SA 4-81
