No play was possible before lunch on the third day of the first Test between South Africa and New Zealand because of a wet outfield.
Rain on Saturday curtailed play from just before the end of the first session at Kingsmead, with New Zealand 2-15 in reply to the hosts' first-innings score of 263.
There was a much heavier rainfall overnight, which left several wet patches on Sunday that the umpires wanted dried out before allowing play to resume.
With the sun out, it was expected play would resume after the umpires had completed an afternoon inspection.
