England require 197 to win the final Test at The Oval after heavy rain ended day four prematurely with them on 0-0. The third day was also washed out with only 17 overs possible.
A comfortable consolation win looked likely as South Africa lost Hashim Amla (76) in the third full over to stand three down and still three runs behind.
Jacques Kallis and Ashwell Prince also fell before lunch and when the seventh wicket went South Africa’s lead was 96. But AB de Villiers (97) and Paul Harris shared a defiant 95 until both departed within eight balls in a total of 318.
