Just three overs short on the first day's play.

Morkel took three wickets to reduce Zimbabwe to 30-4 at stumps.

Quinton de Kock tweaked a hamstring and didn't take the field yesterday so de Villiers keeping wicket.

36-6, so not getting any better. MM has a Broadesque five wickets off nine overs.

Steyn is a freak of nature

Played 5 more tests than morkel

Taken just under 140 more wickets

His strike rate is also mind boggling

Zimbabwe 68 all out.

Morkel 5-21

Rabada 2-12

Phehlukwayo 2-12

Philander 1-21

South Africa has such great depth in pace bowling talent.

Follow on enforced. ....naturally.

Would have thought South Africa might have wanted some more batting practice ahead of the India tour.

75-3. At least Zimbabwe have gone past their first innings score.

Zimbabwe 121 all out.

Maharaj 5-59

Phehlukwayo 3-13

Rabada and Philander one wicket each.

I guess the concept of a four day test match worked here. This test only lasted two days.

Has taken 4 fewer wickets in 23 fewer Tests and Pollock was pretty darn good!
