The third day’s play in the final Test between Australia and South Africa was abandoned without a ball bowled on Friday due to persistent rain in Sydney. The home team were set to resume with their first innings total on 475/4, with opener Usman Khawaja needing only five more runs to notch up a maiden Test double hundred.
However, inclement weather in Sydney, which had already taken time out of the match, did not clear on Friday, preventing any play at all.
