6.30pm What a shame. The match has been called off without a ball being bowled. With that bad news, I fare thee well

6.20pm Still raining in Durban. But some good sense from CSA. It will refund ticket money even if we get a game but it is shorter than seven overs. Refunds can be claimed between March 3 and March 24

5.15pm No signs of rain letting up in Durban. We will keep you updated
