Play Halted Due to Bad Light

Play in the first Test match between Australia and South Africa in Durban was repeatedly interrupted by bad light conditions. This issue has affected more than 60 overs across the first three days of the match.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) recently amended its rules to allow the use of a pink ball in Test matches, but this change did not prevent the light from halting play as expected.

Australia's Strong Performance

Australia's bowlers claimed a 139-run lead against South Africa at the end of day three. Pat Cummins led the bowling effort, taking 3 wickets for 54 runs.

Matt Renshaw scored a career-best 190 runs for Australia in its first innings, helping the team recover from a precarious 124-6 position. The team was 33-0 at the end of day three, with nearly 13 overs lost due to bad light.
