Openers Alex Lees and Zak Crawley steered England to the brink of victory over South Africa in the decisive third test at The Oval as the home side reached 97 without loss chasing a modest 130 before bad light intervened on the fourth day on Sunday.
Both batsmen came into the test under scrutiny following a poor series, but Crawley raced to 57 from 44 balls with some dominant strokes, and Lees is unbeaten on 32.
The umpires took the players from the field with 50 minutes of play still possible, deeming the light not good enough to carry on, having ended play early on Saturday when conditions appeared bright enough to continue. "It is frustrating from our point of view , the rate we were scoring at it might have only needed five or six more overs and with a good crowd in here it would have been nice to finish it off."
Thursday's play was washed out by rain and Friday was cancelled as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth.
