Port Elizabeth: South Africa and the West Indies will travel to Cape Town for the third and final Test after rain and a wet outfield cut more than half the playing time from the second Test at St George's Park on Tuesday. No play was possible on the final day and the match ended with the West Indies on 275 for nine in their first innings in reply to South Africa's 417 for eight declared.

South Africa take a 1-0 lead into the third Test starting on Friday. South African captain Hashim Amla said a result had been "on the cards" if there had been a full day's play possible on Tuesday. "We were hoping to get the last wicket quickly and then set them a target with 50 or 60 overs to go."
