Play will resume after an early lunch on the fifth day of the second South Africa-Australia Test at Wanderers in Johannesburg. The match is evenly poised.

Early rains and bad light forced the start of play to be postponed at the Wanderers, with Australia needing 168 to win the second Test and level the series. South Africa need to pick up seven wickets.

Ricky Ponting, who has had an indifferent series so far, is unbeaten on 54. It has been nearly two years since Ponting scored a Test match century. Captain Michael Clarke arrived at the crease only a ball before the close. 

Australia are chasing a target of 310 to win the game and were 142/3 at the close of the fourth day. Usman Khawaja was the last man out for 65, only minutes before the play was called off on the day four.

South Africa had won the first Test match after a shocking Australian collapse in their second innings. Australia had slumped to 21/9 before managing to muster 47 and South Africa ran away winners by six wickets. 

There isn’t much to choose from between the two sides then and bet365 offers 2/1 for South Africa to make it 2-0. Australia are at 9/4 (bet365), with a drawn encounter at a much closer 13/10.  

South Africa v Australia 2nd Test, Day 5 lunch score:
South Africa 266 & 339 v Australia 196 &142/3
