KAGISO Rabada took five wickets at Lord's, reaching 591 before as South Africa seized the early initiative in the World Test Championship final before Australia fought back.

Rabada overtook Allan Donald to become his country's most prolific Test wicket-taker by claiming five for 51 as Australia were bowled out for 212 on the opening day at Lord's.

Yet on what proved a fine day for seam bowling, Australia hit back to reduce the Proteas to 43 for four in their reply before the close.

Australia initially struggled in gloomy conditions after being put in to bat by Temba Bavuma.
