Off go the players! It is not raining but it has gotten very dark and there are dark clouds hovering above the stadium. Seems like it is going to rain any moment but the groundsmen are not rushing onto the ground so the game is probably halted due to bad light. Also, early TEA has been taken!

V Philander to R Sharma, FOUR! In the air but that flies past the gully fielder. Shorter and outside off, Rohit slashes at it. It flies off the outside edge towards Markram at gully. He fails to react in time and it goes past him down to the third man fence. Maybe he did not spot it that well. Just not South Africa's day.
