An issue with the ball after just 8 deliveries. Feels like there's a scratch mark on it. Umpires okay to continue for now
1.1
Hazlewood to Rickelton, no run, on a length and angling across, keeps a tad low. Defended towards covers
Josh Hazlewood, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
Wiaan Mulder, right handed bat, comes to the crease
Fresh off an IPL final win, Josh Hazlewood from the other end...

Rabada: Coming here about a week ago, could already feel the atmosphere. Great to see the support for us. Feels like a home game. Means a lot to play for South Africa. Given my all each and every time. Happy to do the job. It was moving around a bit. With the new ball it seemed harder to score. As the ball got softer and they showed intent, they got some runs away. But you always felt that, on this wicket, especially with the way they were playing, any ball had their name on it. That's all secondary (climbing the wicket-takers list for SA). Primary is to keep running in and doing the job. Means a lot to get past Allan Donald, what a legend.
Right, so a quick turnaround and the South Africa openers are walking out to the middle.
