Australia’s Scott Boland made an immediate impact in the second Test against South Africa at St George’s Park, taking two wickets in consecutive deliveries on a rain-affected opening day of the match. South Africa, tasked with batting first, reached 20 for two before play was halted after just 12.2 overs due to persistent weather interruptions. Boland dismissed key batsmen Aiden Markram and David Bedingham, who had been South Africa’s top performers in their previous loss during the first Test in Durban. South Africa made three changes to their lineup ahead of the match.
