Wet outfield puts paid to first Test between South Africa and New Zealand

23 August 2016 09:23

The first Test between South Africa and New Zealand ended in a draw after a third consecutive day was lost to a wet outfield in Durban.

The outfield failed to recover from a heavy downpour at the end of day two, when New Zealand closed on 15 for two in reply to 263, with the final day abandoned more than 30 minutes before it was due to start.

The second and final match of the series starts at Centurion on Saturday.
