Johnson rattles South Africans

DURBAN, South Africa, March 7, 2009 (AFP) - Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson took three wickets in his first over and forced South African captain Graeme Smith and key batsman Jacques Kallis to retire hurt on a dramatic second day of the second Test at Kingsmead here on Saturday.

South Africa were 62 for four at tea in reply to Australia's first innings total of 352.

Johnson took two wickets in his first over, then struck Smith with the third ball of his next over to throw the South African innings into disarray after the hosts had fought back earlier in the day.
