Before the commencement of Cape Town Test, the weather department forecasted for rain on day three. They were right as constant rain forced to call it a day before a single ball was bowled. Thus, the game remains on the same keel where it was after day 2.

South Africa is batting their second innings and Hamish Amla is in the middle with Kagiso Rabada while they are having a handy 142-run lead. Earlier, they dismissed India for 209 after a flamboyant knock of 93 by Hardik Pandya, who later took two wickets with the ball.

The game will start 30 minutes early in the day and it will go to maximum 98 overs on day four and five. However, the pace of the game is very fast as we witnessed third innings on just second day. However, a doggy resistance by both teams can only take it to a draw.
