South Africa has made a steady start after a three and a half hour rain delay to the third test against New Zealand at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.
In conditions ripe for bowling, Ross Taylor won the toss and asked the Proteas to bat.
Graeme Smith fell to a dubios ct behind off Doug Bracewell for five with the score on 13 and Hashim Amla and Alviro Peterson then took the score to 103 for one at tea.
Amla fell shortly after the tea interval when he skied a hook shot off Mark Gillespie, departing for a well played 63.
South Africa are currently 136 for 2 with Alviro Peterson well set on 44 and JP Duminy on 23 - the players leaving the field moments ago for bad light - unlikely that we'll see any further action today.
