No play was possible on Days 2, 3 or 4 due to heavy rain. Cronje and Hussein agreed to forfeit an innings each to provide a good game in the time remaining. Later Cronje admitted having been bribed 50,000 rand to ensure a result.^[1]
The laws at the time did not allow for the forfeiture of the 1st innings, so England's 1st innings is recorded as 0/0 declared.
