Rain did delay the start of the 2nd ODI in Port Elizabeth, but play managed to start about 30 minutes ago and South Africa's AB de Villiers won the toss. He might have batted first if conditions were different, but because of the rain and moisture around, he elected to bowl and field first.
This decision paid off early on as Steyn got rid of the one Pakistan opener, Jamshed for only 2 runs. Steyn bowled him with a perfect in-swinger and the opener were beaten all-ends-up!
Dale Steyn has just now, in the 7th over, struck once more by dismissing Mohammad Hafeez for 8 runs, caught behind by De Kock. It is the umpteenth time he has dismissed Hafeez, who tried to cut a shortish ball from Steyn, but only managed to get a faint edge to it, and De Kock did the rest. Steyn's figures are 2 for 9, in 4 overs and Pakistan's score is currently 22/2.
