South Africa Dec 25: South Africa had geared up to play a 4 Day night Test match with Zimbabwe before taking on India. The ICC had granted permission for the experimental test match and new rules would be in play compared to standard playing conditions

# Play will be scheduled for six-and-a-half hours each day, half an hour more than in five-day games, with 98 overs due to be bowled in a day, instead of 90.
# As in five-day games, an extra half hour can be added in order to complete the overs.

# The first two sessions of play will be two hours 15 minutes each instead of two hours, with a 20-minute tea break instead of a lunch break after the first session. There will be a 40-minute dinner break after the second session.

#The follow-on can be enforced with a lead of 150 runs, compared to 200 runs in five-day games.
# Play will start at 1.30 p.m. (local time) each day. The sunset in Port Elizabeth will be between 7.30 p.m. and 7.31p.m. on the four days of the match, half an hour into the last session.
