5th Test: South Africa v England at Centurion, 21-25 Jan 2005
Ball-by-Ball Commentary
Covers are still on, umpires walking around the outfield looking
10:00 local
All night rain and a morning drizzle still has the covers on the
pitch and runups
The umpires have just done a walk around but the drizzle is still
causing frustration
It is still very overcast and any thoughts of play will have to be
shelved for another hour
The covers have been partially removed to reveal a rather green
looking pitch
but as we speak the rain starts again and ground crew scurry to get
the covers back on
By the looks of the weather this will continue for most of the
morning
We will keep you informed ever 30 minutes
next update at 11:00 local (09:00 GMT)
The covers are being removed again, and yes we were not mistaken
last time round, that pitch is green
a couple of the players are out there having a look, with the
bowlers showing the biggest smiles
Interesting toss will follow when the umpires decide on play
Both teams now out in the middle, the South Africans warming up on
our right, and England on the left
Official news is that provided it does not rain again play will get
underway at 12:00 (10:00 GMT)
An early lunch will be taken to make up for the time lost
The weather out towards Johannesburg however still looks very
gloomy
A change in reported lunch time, Lunch will be taken at the normal
time of 12:30 with a longer 2nd session
A minimum of 85 overs to be bowled
Rain still falling at 11:50 (09:50 GMT)
The only news is that Andre Nel and Andrew Hall will play in the
place of Dale Steyn and Boeta Dippenaar
The England team has yet to be announced
Lunch is to be taken now, and hopefully the rain will stop, but I
doubt it
As frustrating as it is for you, so is it for us at the ground
Just when it looks like the clouds are lifting a follow-up bank of
low cloud comes rolling in
The ground staff are at the moment mopping up excess water on top
of the covers
We will be very lucky to see any cricket here today
At the moment the rain has once again lifted and an attempt is
being made to remove the covers
The umpires have been out to inspect, but no news from them as yet
Official news from the umpires is that we are looking at a 15:00
start
That is if the rain does not get back before that
15:00 (13:00) We will advise if there is any chance of play
Play will resume 30 minutes earlier tomorrow at 10:00 local (08:00
GMT)
Match State: Stumps - Day 1
Good Morning from Centurion and SuperSport Park where the news is
that we will have play
The heavens have opened enough for us to get a 10:00 start
England have won the toss and without a second thought decided to
bowl first
England have included the second Jones for Anderson, while South
Africa have gone for Hall and Nel in place of Steyn and Dippenaar

spots of blue sky
