David Bedingham says the Proteas are "very excited" about the opportunity to break their ICC trophy drought ahead of what could be a pivotal third day of the World Test Championship final at Lord's.
The World Test Championship final between the Proteas and Australia is still very much in the balance as the bowlers continued to hold sway at stumps on the second day at Lord's.
Proteas premier fast bowler Kagiso Rabada says all he had to do was block out the noise and do what he knows best in day one of the World Test Championship final against Australia.
Kagiso Rabada became the Proteas' fourth-highest wicket-taker in Tests but had no time to celebrate as his team undid the paceman's good work against Australia on the first day of the WTC final.
Kagiso Rabada took five wickets but Australia fought back late as the fast bowlers dominated the opening day of the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord's on Wednesday.
Temba Bavuma has confirmed that Wiaan Mulder will bat at number three in the World Test Championship final against Australia while Lungi Ngidi edged out Dane Paterson for the third seamer position.
