Starc dislocated the tip of his middle finger on his left hand, his bowling hand, while attempting to take a catch at long-on during the second session on day one of the match and was taken for scans The 32-year-old left-arm pacer, who had taken 2-39 off 13 overs, left the field after the injury and reportedly went for a scan. He did return to the field towards the end of South Africa's first innings but was not required to bowl as the visitors were shot out for 189.

After the end of day's play, Green said in the post-match press conference that he believes one has to take a lot of care in bowling when a player is a specialist bowler, not an all-rounder, which he is. "I think your priorities change. You take a lot of your care in your bowling when you're just a bowler. You have that rhythm because you're bowling 20 overs an innings basically. That's probably the main difference."

Green ripped through South Africa's lower order to pick a career-best 5/27 and bowl the tourists out for 189 in their first innings. The Proteas could have been out for an even lower total, if not for the 112-run sixth-wicket stand between wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne (52) and left-arm fast bowler Marco Jansen (59).

Skipper Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc are sure to get the first two spots, Hazlewood's return to fitness has put the selectors in a quandary as Boland has done well in the first Test and put up a claim to be retained for the next Test. Australia's chairman of selectors George Bailey conceded that there is little to separate between the two pacers for a role in the starting XI and said the quandary was a happy one to confront.
