ginal Boland exposes South Africa's frailties

Australia expose South Africa's batting frailties again as Scott Boland takes four wickets to leave hosts in trouble in second Test.

For much of Monday it appeared rain would deny any meaningful play taking place on day two of the second Test between South Africa and Australia.

In the end, the hosts may have wished that remained the case as their top-order frailties were exposed once again in Gqeberha.

With the Proteas 97-5 at the close, the balance of power in the series remains firmly with Australia.

It took Australia's metronome Scott Boland only seven deliveries to add to his two wickets taken amid the rain on day one.

Relentless in his line and lengths, the 37-year-old found the perfect length to drag debutant Marques Ackerman onto the front foot.

Ackerman defended nicely for 38 balls but here he neither defended nor unleashed a drive.
