Australia Builds Lead Against South Africa in First Test, 174-4 at Lunch on Day Four
Scott Boland’s two quick wickets justified Australia’s all-pace attack and left South Africa struggling after rain and bad light slowed the Test.
- On Monday, South Africa reached 97-5 at stumps on day two of the second cricket test in Gqeberha, as rain and Australian bowler Scott Boland's dominant spell limited the hosts' scoring.
- Persistent rain on Sunday and Monday forced teams to wait until afternoon to resume play, following South Africa's 214-run defeat in the first Test in Durban last week.
- Captain Temba Bavuma provided resistance with an unbeaten 41 from 108 balls, while Boland secured 4-31 from 14 overs, continuing to torment South Africa's struggling batting lineup.
- Debutants Marques Ackerman and Matthew Breetzke fell early to Australia's pace attack, though Bavuma and Ryan Rickelton stabilized the Proteas with a 52-run fifth-wicket partnership.
- Play resumes on Tuesday with improved weather forecast for the remaining three days, as Australia seeks to wrap up the three-match series while South Africa attempts recovery.
