DURBAN, South Africa (AP):
JACQUES KALLIS made an undefeated 72 yesterday to lead South Africa to 140-2 by the time bad light stopped play on day two of the second of three Tests against Australia.
With him at the close was opener A.B. de Villiers, who had battled his way out of a run of poor form to score 48 in an unbeaten stand of 130.
Kallis raced to 50 off 49 balls with 10 fours, after South Africa had lost two wickets for two runs at the start of their innings. Brett Lee had South Africa
captain Graeme Smith caught by Justin Langer at third slip off the first ball of the innings before Michael Kasprowicz uprooted Herschelle Gibbs' off stump for nine.
ANXIOUS MOMENTS
Kallis and de Villiers did have some anxious moments against Lee's pace and the sharp turn of Shane Warne.
Earlier, Australia made it to 369 in their first innings, Michael Hussey holding the tail together with 75 before he was trapped leg before wicket by Kallis.
Australia had resumed the day on 228-5 and South Africa bowled tightly in the first half-hour. Hussey and Andrew Symonds weathered the attack until Symonds was trapped lbw for 13 off the bowling of Andre Nel.
Adam Gilchrist was spilled by Ashwell Prince while on 0 before edging another delivery by Nel
to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher, having scored two. Warne came to the crease with the score on 259 and shared in a 56-run partnership with Hussey. Warne scored 36 off 31 balls.
Australia lead the series 1-0.
