"You want to keep that good thing going. But you can't ignore the fact that this is a big year from a 50-over point of view. That's the main priority." - Temba Bavuma on transferring Test success to ODIs.

"The qualifiers are just down the road but the main focus for now is the South Africa series. We definitely need to qualify for the World Cup. Everything we do now is geared towards that." - Shai Hope outlines the West Indian mindset.

What to expect:
A sleepy surface that could be granted a spike of life by an 80% forecast for rain on Wednesday night. That's mitigated by the patchy history of drainage at this ground.

We're just 5 minutes away from the scheduled start of play and it isn't looking great I'm afraid. The covers are firmly in place all over the square and there's still a pattering of rain. We'll keep you updated with the latest.

The rain has seemingly halted. The ground staff can be seen moving around trying get things dried up. It's still very cloudy though and we haven't got any revised timings as yet. The covers are being peeled off slowly.

Maybe 45 per side match ????

It's gotten a lot darker and rainier. Looks like we won't be starting anytime soon unfortunately.

The rain has stopped and there's work being done on the covers again. Hopefully this time we can get started. Stick around for the latest.

It has gotten even worse. The dark clouds are hovering around dangerously. The covers are firmly in place and we are no closer to getting a game in when we were when we started off the day. Fingers crossed still.

It has started to rain again and according to Philasande Sixaba who has tweeted: "Game should be abandoned soon here at Buffalo Park. The rain has persisted throughout the day. The covers are still on."
