Australia fields oldest Test XI in history against South Africa

Australia is playing South Africa in the first Test at Kingsmead in Durban. For the first time in 149 years, Australia's XI features no players in their 20s, with an average age of 34.59. Captain Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bat, but bad light and rain halted play with Australia at 187/6 on the first day. Despite the absence of star bowler Kagiso Rabada, South Africa's pace attack effectively restricted Australia's scoring. Marnus Labuschagne contributed 37 runs, while Steve Smith scored 25 and surpassed Steve Waugh to become Australia's third-highest run-scorer in Tests. The match is ongoing with more play expected in the following days.
