Durban: After eight months of frustration, South African fast bowler Dale Steyn left the field at Kingsmead on Saturday with a smile on his face, according to bowling coach Charl Langeveldt.

Unfortunately for Steyn and his fellow bowlers, they walked off at lunchtime and didn't return after reducing New Zealand to 15 for two on the second day of the first Test.
Rain prevented any more play and meant South Africa could not take further advantage of favourable bowling conditions as they sought to defend a first innings total of 263.
Steyn, playing in his first Test match since December, bowled a mesmerising spell of two for three in six overs, dismissing both New Zealand opening batsmen.
