Dont think so, pretty sure we start to lose overs from now.

Yeah, went off at 5:50 our time.

You start losing overs after an hour's worth of delay.

EDIT: just checked - hour's up.

 

[Creag]

Starting to lose time and overs now. Sadly.

From cricinfo: "At any rate if the interruption is long enough to not allow South Africa bat any further, the target for New Zealand is likely to be 264 in 38 overs"

You lose an over every 3 minutes after the hour, so not looking good. At 7:24, our innings ends.

 

[AthenianOwl]

ZCFOutkast must be so happy now.

You lose an over every 3 minutes after the hour, so not looking good. At 7:24, our innings ends.

Hmm that doesnt sound right? Remember its an over for each side.
