    Did you hear that? Sikandar Raza was picked up on the stump mic saying: "We may as bowl underarm or we won't have 11 players for the next game."

  2. Not out

    SA 45-0

    Umpire's call, and Quinton de Kock survives.

  3. Zimbabwe review

    Now then.

    Quinton de Kock attempts a big slog sweep but is pinned on the back leg.

    Zimbabwe like it, and fancy a look upstairs.

  4. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    This is becoming farcial.

  5. SA 45-0

    You know what, you have got to give credit to Zimbabwe.

    A bowler has just gone off injured and the wicketkeeper has just slipped, too - but thankfully unharmed.

    They are not showing any slightest sign of fuss, though. Just getting on with it.

  6. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Occasionally the umpires are glancing at one another.

  7. SA 43-0

    Target 64

    Temba Bavuma takes a single from the first ball he's faced so far - which is mad in itself, and hands the strike back to Quinton de Kock.

    He takes two, and has 41 out of South Africa's 43. The powerplay was only two overs in this shortened game so Zimbabwe can now have some more fielders out, which will be a huge relief for them.

    This is probably the heaviest rain we have had all day.

  9. Ngarava limps off the field in some discomfort but the good news he is standing and walking on it, so hopefully it is nothing too serious.

    But it is still raining and pretty heavily, too.

  10. Daniel Norcross

    Richard Ngarava is in genuine discomfort here.

  11. SA 40-0

    Target 64

    Another four but it's bad news for the bowler Richard Ngarava, who has slipped in his follow-through and hurt his ankle.

    This is the peril of playing through the rain.

    Just 24 runs needed now for South Africa.

  12. SA 36-0

    Target 64

    Guess I'll just copy and paste "Smashed for four by Quinton de Kock" into every post from now on, then.

  13. Xavier Doherty
    Former Australia spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It has been a crazy day.

  14. SA 32-0

    Another four. He now has 31 of South Africa's 32 runs and has only faced 10 balls.

    We need five overs to constitute a game but we may not even need them if he carries on like this.

  15. SA 28-0

    Target 64

    After that quick break, we now have a revised DLS target.

    South Africa need 64 runs to win from seven overs.

    Quinton de Kock picks up exactly where he left off with four clubbed down the ground.

    The rain is very heavy again now.

  16. Yes, Dan.

    Yes it is.

  17. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Is it raining again?

  18. Richard Ngarava is at the top of his mark and ready to bowl.

    He has five balls left of his first over. For some reason the umpires just keep chatting, and the players look a bit frustrated.

    Play!

  19. OK, that didn't last very long.

    The covers are off, stumps back in, and hopefully we'll be back any minute now.

  20. Xavier Doherty
    Former Australia spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    If they drag out the big tarp then we are in trouble because of the amount of time it takes to put on and take off again.

    The two umpires have stayed out, which is a good sign.
