Live Cricket Score of South Africa vs New Zealand, 1st Test, Day 2 at Durban

Not the start South Africa would have envisioned after Faf du Plessis won the toss on what he described a tacky Kingsmead surface. The hosts have only 236 on the board and are eight down heading into the second day's play.

But for some resistance from Hashim Amla, Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock , it was all New Zealand on Day 1. The bowlers have potentially set the Test match up for Kane Williamson. However, we'll get a clearer picture only when both teams have batted. How long will New Zealand take to wrap up South Africa's innings? Will the rain stay away from Kingsmead?

This should be a fascinating second day's play...

There it is. Trent Boult yet again. South Africa fold for 263. Dane Piedt can't resist a nibble and edges to the keeper. Three for Boult but this 27 run final-wicket stand may have just given some respectability to that SA total. Their seamers would be itching to have a go at the New Zealand top-order on this surface.

They've opted for a light roller now. New Zealand innings in 10 mins.

It's raining in Durban... what started off as a heavy drizzle eased off, but the drizzle is back at the moment and the covers are on. It is more than likely that there will be a delay in the start of play on day two.

The persistent rain means that there will be a delayed start.

Tim Southee strikes! Dale Steyn was happy to leave these deliveries outside off stump. So much so that when one came back in, he was caught off guard. The ball sneaks in through the gap between bat and pad. Timber!
