The covers are back on. Not ideal. They are covering the whole square. That would mean a delay to the start of play, which was slated for 7pm AEDT.
Meanwhile, aside from the selection of Boland over Lyon, Australia have retained the same batting order from their first Test win in Durban. Nic Maddinson and Travis Head stay at the top. Matt Renshaw remains at No.5 after his brilliant match. Beau Webster retains his place in the side.
Australia XI: Travis Head, Nic Maddinson, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Matthew Renshaw, Alex Carey, Beau Webster, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, Josh Hazlewood.
South Africa XI: Aiden Markram, Marques Ackerman, David Bedingham, Temba Bavuma (c), Matthew Breetzke, Ryan Rickelton, Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen, Simon Harmer, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje.
