File

In one of the most thrilling days of Test cricket, South Africa bowled out Australia for just 212 in 56.4 overs at Lord바카라™s on June 11--the opening day of the ICC World Test Championship 2025 final. But the drama didn바카라™t stop there. The Proteas crumbled in the 2nd innings, ending the day at a shaky 43/4, with the Aussie bowlers seizing control. What바카라™s gonna happen on Day 2? Will weather play a role on the tough pitch? Let바카라™s see.

Temba Bavuma, who holds the record for not losing a single Test match since becoming South Africa바카라™s captain, won the toss and opted to bowl first in the ultimate red-ball showdown.

But the defending champions, Australia, had a nightmare start. They lost opener Usman Khawaja for a duck, Marnus Labuschagne for just 17, and Cameron Green followed for 4. Even the ever-reliable Travis Head failed to fire in a final, dismissed for only 11.

It was the pace duo of Kagiso Rabada (5/52) and Marco Jansen (3/49) who kept Australia in check.

There was a brief recovery when Steve Smith (66) and Beau Webster (72) took Australia past the 200-mark. Later, Alex Carey바카라™s 23 added a few vital runs before Australia were bundled out for 212.

However, the Proteas couldn바카라™t build on that. Their reply started in horror too: Aiden Markram gone for a duck, Bryan Rickelton for 16, Wiaan Mulder for 6, and Tristan Stubbs for just 3.

Skipper Bavuma (3) and David Bedingham (8) were at the crease when the Day 1 play ended with South Africa reeling at 43/4. Mitchell Starc was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets, while Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins chipped in with one each.
