Mills and How return

Kyle Mills and Jamie How have been recalled to the BLACKCAPS team for the third Test against South Africa at Johannesburg.

Jeetan Patel, who took three wickets on his Test debut at Newlands, makes way for Mills on the seamer-friendly Wanderers pitch.

Jamie How forms an opening partnership with Michael Papps after Peter Fulton fell victim to a back injury.

All-round duo Shaun Pollock and Andrew Hall returns for the hosts, who lead the series 1-0. Injured left-arm spinner Nicky Boje and pace bowler Andre Nel drop out.

The start of play was delayed due to a damp outfield. South Africa won the toss, and put the BLACKCAPS into bat.

South Africa: GC Smith (captain), HH Dippenaar, HM Amla, JH Kallis, AG Prince, MV Boucher, AB de Villiers, SM Pollock, DW Steyn, M Ntini.

BLACKCAPS: JM How, MHW Papps, SP Fleming (captain), SB Styris, NJ Astle, JDP Oram, BB McCullum, JEC Franklin, KD Mills, CS Martin, DL Vettori.
