Live Cricket Score - South Africa vs Australia, 2nd Test, Day 1

Kagiso Rabada could miss the remainder of South Africa's Test series against Australia after being charged with a code of conduct breach for his shoulder brush with opposition captain Steve Smith.

Australia captain Smith was among the five victims to fall to Rabada in Port Elizabeth as Australia stumbled to 243 all out, before South Africa closed on 39-1 in reply. Smith was given out by Dharmasena and, in celebration, Rabada continued in his follow-through, shouting "Yes, yes", in Smith's direction. "We have the best bowling attack in the world". Tim has given us a sniff and the opportunity to bowl well.

Aaron Finch has condemned South Africa's role in the sledging war with Australia in the ongoing Test series, while defending David Warner's part in the high-profile Durban incident.

Rabada's incident is the latest in what is turning out to be an ill-tempered series.

Australia's lead is now 204 runs, with Nathan Lyon insisting they can fight back on day two.

But a Vernon Philander outswinger that drew the outside edge of Bancroft on the last ball before lunch brought the Proteas to life. Usman Khawaja (4), Warner, Smith (25), Shaun Marsh (24) and Mitchell Marsh (4) were out in the second session.

"You are allowed to celebrate sometimes", said Philander.
