Durban: South Africa paceman Dale Steyn announced his return to the international game with two early wickets before rain wiped out the remainder of day two of the first test against New Zealand on Saturday.
Playing his first international match since being sidelined by a shoulder injury in December, Steyn claimed the wickets of both New Zealand openers to leave the tourists at 15-2 in reply to South Africa’s 263 all out at Kingsmead. South Africa’s attack was then halted for lunch by rain, with bad weather continuing through the afternoon until play was called off for the day.
