New Zealand remained on 15 for two in reply to South Africa´s first innings total of 263. Rain, which stopped play at lunchtime on Saturday, continued through Saturday night and into Sunday morning.

Although the sun was shining at the scheduled resumption of play, there were extensive wet, muddy areas on a field which was re-seeded in June.
