Cricket: The Second Test is set to get underway - and the Aussies have pulled a selection surprise.
The visitors called in Scott Boland to join an all-pace bowling attack, with Nathan Lyon left out of the XI in Gqeberha.
Pat Cummins’ men hold a 1-0 series lead as they enter this clash under cloudy skies, with some rain forecast across the first couple of days of the Test.
Stay across all the action here, with play set to get underway at 4pm WA time.
Tea taken
The rain continues to fall and the umpires have called for the Tea break.
Drizzle remains
The rain continues but it’s only heavy enough to keep the covers on.
Hope is once it stops they can get on fairly quickly.
No change
The rain has lessoned but is still falling so there’s been no change.
Weather updates say this evening should be dry but we won’t get much cricket before then.
Heavy covers on
The rain gets heavier and this may be a long break again.
Rain again
The drizzle comes down and Boland will be furious.
The Aussies got on a roll as soon as Scott Boland came into the attack.
Thick edge!
Boland gets another edge, this time from Bavuma.
But it falls short and goes through the gap between slip and gully.

B for bowled!!!!!
Scott Boland was getting a touch of movement but the bounce was struggling to make it to the keeper.
So he went for the stumps and goes through Markram with a small inside edge into middle stump!
He goes for 11.
SA 1-12
