       Thank you for being with us, please join us again at 08:00 GMT
        tomorrow for day 2
       Light rain failing in Centurion this morning
       Weather not looking good for a 11:30 start
       Chances of play today are very slim
       Pools of water are collecting in various parts of the outfield"
       Still raining at Centurion, umpires to make final decision at 12:30
        GMT
       Play has been called off for the day. Join us again Sunday morning.
       Morning from Centurion on an overcast day
       As it stands play has been called off till at least Lunch time with
        the players having been sent back to the hotel by the umpires
       The run ups at the Hennops River end are saturated as the river is
        at flood level and the water table is really high
       An inspection will be held at Noon when a decision will be made
       Update at 100:00 GMT - 12:00 local time - The run ups are still
        very wet and the groundstaff have been digging holes and trying to
        siphon off the water.
       The weather itself is improving, it is not currently raining, and
        the cloud is lifting somewhat.
       Update at 11:15 GMT - the captains have been summoned from their
        hotels to inspect the conditions at Supersport Park. The run ups
        are still very wet and there is a large pool of water on the
        ground. The umpires made a further inspection at 11:00 GMT
       Update 11:00 GMT - the captains have been summoned from their
        hotels to inspect conditions.
       There will be a final inspection at 11:45 GMT (1:45 local time)
       There are heavy rain clouds around the ground again and prospects
        of play are not good
       Update 11:35 GMT
       Nasser Hussain walking out onto the ground to have a look.
       The groundstaff have gathered in a huddle.
       Hussain is now talking to the match referee.
       About 20 people down by the far end of the ground.
       And the latest is there will be yet another inspection at 12:15 GMT
        (2:15 local time) though difficult to tell what will have changed
        by then.
       Update 12:10 GMT - it has started to rain again and the covers have
        been brought back on.
       Play officially abandoned for the day at 12:15 (2:15 local time)
        after the rain got much heavier
       Join us again on Monday for (hopefully) some cricket
       Play was due to begin on Monday at 0800 GMT (10:00 Local time)
        however rain has again prevented a start.
       A press conference has been called for 08:30 GMT (10:30 GMT) and
        there looks a distinct possibility that the Test match could be
        abandoned then and a one-day international arranged for Tuesday.
       We will bring you details on this once the Press Conference has
        taken place.
       0855 GMT - The only news we have is that the umpires are going to
        look again in an hours time.
       The umpires have denied rumours that a one-day international will
        be played tomorrow.
       So the press conference was rather an anti-climax.
       It was also announced that the Test match will not be extended.
       Umpires will have another look at 1pm local time
       Play expected to start at 08:00 GMT
