Wellington: Bad light frustrated Alviro Petersen's quest for a third Test century, stranding him at 96 not out and South Africa at 246 for 2 when stumps was called early on the second day of the third Test against New Zealand.
Only 37 overs were bowled on Saturday between a rain-delayed start and the intervention of poor light at 5:24 p.m. local time, more than an hour before the scheduled close of play. In that short period, Petersen advanced his score from 44 not out overnight to within four runs of a century which has breathed new life into his Test career.
