Boland leaves Proteas reeling on rain-ruined first day

Key points

  • Scott Boland returned to Test cricket after a seven-month break and dismissed two of South Africa's top batters in two balls. Aiden Markram and David Bedingham were both out during the brief spells of play on the opening day at St George's Park.
  • Rain then halted play for the rest of the afternoon, with South Africa at 2-20. Nathan Lyon was left out of the Australian side, with Boland recalled as part of an all-seam attack.
  • Play was called early at 4.15pm local time.
