Against Pakistan on Sunday (January 5), Kagiso Rabada moved past Shane Warne as he moved onto a career tally of 324 Test wickets before turning 30 years old – in the last Test of his twenties.
In the New Year's Test at Newlands in Cape Town, South Africa elected to bat first, and put up an imposing 615 on the back of Ryan Rickelton's career-best 259, centuries from captain Temba Bavuma (106) and wicketkeeper Kyle Verrynne (100), and cameos of 62 and 40 from Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj.
By the end of day two, Pakistan had gone in to bat and had lost three wickets for 64 runs. They were already without the services of opener Saim Ayub, who was ruled out of the Test match less than an hour after it started.
