Steyn, who had not played any cricket since suffering a groin injury on the first day of a series in India on November 5, found his rhythm almost immediately and had skipper Cook caught at second slip by Elgar for a duck off the fifth ball of his second over. He did not concede a run in the 3.1 overs he bowled in the 27 minutes of play that was possible before lunch. Steyn added that the decision to bowl first was influenced by a forecast of hot weather for the remaining four days. “Today was probably the only day with cloud cover, although it didn’t swing as much as we hoped,” he said. “It’s been frustrating sitting on the sidelines for the last six weeks. “I’ve been training hard and doing a lot of bowling and I had quite a tough fitness test.”
