There was a late call-up for Dane Vilas this morning after news filtered through that wicket keeper Quinton de Kock injured his knee last night, forcing the Cobras keeper to fly in from Port Elizabeth this morning.
Play was opened this morning by rugby legend Joost Van der Westhuizen who was asked to ring the stadium bell to signal the start of the day's play.
