He was replaced in the middle at Kingsmead by South African Ian Howell.
A Cricket South Africa spokesman said the 48-year-old had been taken to hospital for an electrocardiogram as a precautionary measure.
Benson, who played in one Test for England, was appointed to the International Cricket Council's elite panel in April 2006. He was standing in his 12th Test match.
