South Africa vs Australia Live Score: Pat Cummins and Matt Renshaw will aim to take the visitors to a respectable total in the Durban Test.
South Africa vs Australia 1st Test Live Score: Pat Cummins and Matt Renshaw will have their task cut out when they resume Australia's innings on Day 2 of the Durban Test against South Africa. The visitors finished the opening day at 187/6 after bad light brought an early end to the proceedings. Renshaw, unbeaten on 46, and captain Cummins, not out on 33, will take guard with an important task ahead. Their unbroken seventh-wicket partnership has given Australia some stability after the top order struggled against South Africa’s bowling attack. For South Africa, Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje, playing his first Test in three years, claimed two wickets apiece.

After just 65.5 overs bowled on Day 1, the biggest concern is whether will play a spoilsport on Day 2 as well. The good news is that there is no chance of rainfall. However, the bad news is that there will be consistent cloud cover throughout the day. While the match will start with a 46% cloud cover, it increases throughout the day even reaching 71% at one point of time. Hence, visibility and bad light will definitely be an issue if such weather persists.
Only 65 overs were possible on Day 1
We didn't get the full allotted 90 overs on the opening day of the much-awaited series as bad light played spoilsport at the Kingsmead. Only 65.2 overs were possible on Day 1 and the umpires then took the players off due to bad light. Australia ended Day 1 at 187/6 with Renshaw and Cummins unbeaten on 46 and 33, respectively.
The officials will now try to make up the lost time on the second day.
