England v South Africa - 3rd Investec Test: Day One
Rabada's superb yorker to Dawid Malan set the day alight

Kagiso Rabada is known to be relentless, fiery and unforgiving. He had self-admittedly been depressed to let down his team with a suspension that ruled him out of Trent Bridge. Raring to return, Rabada took his time to find his rhythm before mustering a scintillating spell.

The best of the spell came when he knocked over Dawid Malan with a toe crushing yorker in the 44th over. Malan lost balance and fell down as Rabada sent down an in-swinging, pacy yorker to the debutant. The delivery was eerily reminiscent of Rabada's yorker to Nic Maddinson on his debut in Adelaide last year.
