Match State: Drinks
First drinks break of the test where RSA had won the toss and
batted on what looks to be a spinners pitch
Because of the rain the normal test pitch could not be used,
instead the very outside pitch is in play
The only grass on it is dead
During the first hour it has shown a lack of pace and any great
lift
The lift has come from balls dug in very short, but the turn has
been there for Vettori

Then they also repainted the sightscreens before play started this
