The Kingsmead stadium in Durban had Sunday's play called off due to wet outfield too.

The first Test between South Africa and New Zealand is likely headed for a draw after a wet outfield caused a second day of inactivity on Monday.

While the wicket was dry enough for play on Day Four, the wet patches elsewhere on the field continued to cause problems, with New Zealand positioned at 15 for 2 in its first innings.

Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor are the men due to return to the crease as the Black Caps respond to South Africa's 263 all out.
