Day 5-Southafrica Vs India

Bad Light Again.
Update: 11.15 local time Keith Lane, our man at the ground, says "With very little wind around the ground the chances of the low cloud being blown away is very slim. There is also rain in the area which makes the prospects of prolonged play almost impossible. At the moment the gloomy conditions will keep the players off the field for a while yet. We do however have Ganguly out in the middle, walking from crease to crease it what apparently seems to be an attempt to get his eyes adjusted to the conditions."


Howell checks the reading again, goes across to have a chat with Asad Rauf. They check again. They offer the light, the batsmen walk off. It is pretty dark out there. Smith doesn't wait to have a chat with the umpires this time, leads his men to the out field. They sit on the grass, still inside the arena. Meanwhile Laxman is first to get over that ropes, Ganguly follows him.
Cricinfo report.
