Australia also made changes. Matt Renshaw, who has Covid-19 and was kept separate from the rest of the players, was called in for Cameron Green, Ashton Agar replaced Scott Boland while Josh Hazlewood filled in for the injured Mitchell Starc.
Labuschagne and Khawaja were more aggressive after the lunch interval, scoring 70 runs in 15 overs. Labuschagne drove superbly on his way to a 14th half-century, while Khawaja, having been tied down by deliveries targeting his body, expertly located his favourite offside areas, playing a delicious cut for four off Rabada to bring up his half-century.
Twenty minutes of play was possible in which Labuschagne lost his wicket to a beauty from Nortje that straightened off the pitch at 145km/h and bounced enough to clip the shoulder of the bat, giving Kyle Verreynne an easy catch.
