Kagiso Rabada to Matthew Renshaw. Length ball, outside off stump on the back foot working, to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Zondo. Early Stumps have been called on Day 2 due to rain interruption. Khawaja is stranded with 195, and Head played a quick-fire knock for Australia. For South Africa, Rabada and Maharaj picked up a wicket each. Do join us tomorrow for Day 3 live-action. Unfortunately, Day 3 has been called off due to rain. Cheers.
