Hashim Amla (51*) and Quinton de Kock (37*) looked good for South Africa in what little play was possible, taking them to 95/0 on a bouncy pitch that offered some encouragement to West Indies’ quick bowlers.

However, the weather intervened frequently and – after numerous stops and starts – the match was eventually abandoned shortly after 4 PM.

South Africa have now completed their two warm-up games after their win versus Sri Lanka in Cardiff on Friday, while the Windies will hope for a dry day in Bristol on Tuesday, when they are due to face New Zealand in their second and final encounter leading into the showpiece.
