If they come off now, it may well be a tie. They are playing on with the rain coming down heavily. Finally ump Venkat says its too heavy and are going off
Covers almost in and suddenly rain slows down, but there will be a delay, lots of debate on the rain conditions in this World Cup, play can be extended by 30 mins
The wind is from the south and local experts think its here to stay
According to the D/L method the match is tied at the moment
It is still raining and the cut off time for resumption or calling off is 10:45 local time approx 30 mins from now
The Pollock run out may be the crucial blow and the fact that there was a dot last ball when play was stopped, a run there could have put South Africa ahead
Rain has become heavier now
The 'wet' crowd has decided to stay on and we will bring you the news as it happens
Covers are coming off now
Rain has strengthened and covers brought back on, only about 10 mins left for the cut-off time. Very close now to decision time on the match, its a min or two to go for an announcement on this match
Under the playing conditions the match has been called off
The match is declared tied
The qualifiers in this Pool B are Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Kenya and South Africa have been eliminated, despondent scenes in their dressing room
A rather damp end to what was turning out to be a nail-biter and the good news for New Zealand fans is they have got into the Super Sixes
We hope you enjoyed this game wherever you are and we hope to see you tomorrow for the WI v Kenya game and Pakistan v Zimbabwe
