It's hard to gets fix, asto which way game is going. Draw is heavily influenced by light issues/rain fcasts for tmrrw/Sun.

If S.Africa can wrap up tail, then, weather for the weekend, is v important.

Play extends to 6.30, and S.Africa finish on 82-0, 253 behind.
The weather for the next 3 days, is generally improving.

I think, S.Africa will win, easily, given another 250 overs.
