No play was possible on the third day of the first Test between India and South Africa in Cape Town due to inclement weather.

The start of the match was delayed due to the wet weather, but even though the rain eased off, which led to the sun emerging and the covered being peeled off, things took a turn for the worse at 1.30pm as the rain returned.

With the rain stopping and starting for the next two hours, the umpires finally decided to bring proceedings to an end for the day at 3.30pm.

However, on a brighter note, the forecast is expected to be a lot better on Monday.

Should play go ahead, South Africa will resume their innings on 65/2 at 10:30 local time or 08:30 GMT.
