India vs South Africa 3rd will resume on time on Saturday

Jan.27 (CRICKETNMORE) - The match referee and umpires have confirmed that the third Test at the Wanderers will start on time on the fourth morning.

The on-field umpires, in consultation with the match referee, and after speaking with both the captains and groundsmen, have decided that the Johannesburg Test will resume on time on Saturday.

The on-field umpires will continue to monitor the pitch, and consult the match referee should the pitch deteriorate further. The welfare of the players is paramount and two of the most experienced match officials are in charge of the game and will take appropriate decisions. 

Play on Friday was suspended shortly before scheduled close because the on-field umpires wanted to consult the match referee regarding the condition of the pitch.
