South Africa will pin their hopes on bowling with a ball that is only 10 overs old and with Kagiso Rabada still having much more to give. The pace bowler was suffering from stomach cramps yesterday as he finished with 0 for 81 from 18 overs. If he is back to anything resembling his best, then the Proteas could soon be right back in this Test.
A near perfect day for batting at Newlands with the sun belting down, no cloud, little wind and a forecast high of 26C. Could be worse for the punters in Cape Town too.
