Australia's new-look team produced a late rally on the opening day of the fourth Test against South Africa, as they made their return to the field for the first time since the ball-tampering scandal. South Africa, who lead 2-1 as they aim to secure a first home series victory over Australia since 1970, made an impressive start after winning the toss and electing to bat on a slow pitch. Aiden Markram, though, remained composed as South Africa reached 88 for one at lunch, before Hashim Amla was then caught in the slips for 27. South Africa reached tea at 177 for two from 55 overs. The South Africa captain crouched down as a reversing ball came back quickly to strike him on the front pad.
