Outfield still wet

January 27, 2018 14:10

Start of play on Day 4 of the third Test between South Africa and India has been delayed due to overnight rain.

After conducting an inspection, officials have announced that play will start at 1100 local time (1430 IST).

The pitch is slightly damp but is due to dry out as the sun will come out.

Earlier, it was reported that play would resume as per schedule on Day 4 despite the controversy-filled third day when play was stopped early because of a dangerous pitch at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Friday.

"The match referee has had a word with both team managements and the play is scheduled to start on time on Day 4," the BCCI spokeperson said.

A dangerous pitch brought play to a close 20 minutes early on the third day between South Africa and India with the home side chasing an unlikely target of 241.
