As Australia gear up for the second Test against South Africa here on Boxing Day, they face a dilemma as senior Josh Hazlewood is back from injury and is facing a direct battle with Scott Boland for selection as the third pacer.

Skipper Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc are sure to get the first two spots, Hazlewood's return to fitness has put the selectors in a quandary as Boland has done well in the first Test and put up a claim to be retained for the next Test.
