PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa, Dec 27 (AFP): Zimbabwe were forced to follow on after being bowled out for 68 on the second day of their one-off day-night Test against South Africa at St George's Park in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday.

South Africa led by 241 runs on the first innings. Fast bowler Morne Morkel was the main destroyer, taking five for 21. Kagiso Rabada and Andile Phehlukwayo took two wickets each. Nightwatchman Kyle Jarvis was the top score for Zimbabwe, making 23.

Morkel, who took the first three wickets under floodlights on Tuesday, when Zimbabwe were left floundering on 30 for four, again made the first breakthroughs.
