Captain Pat Cummins declared Australia's first innings at 475 for four leaving opening batsman Usman Khawaja stranded on 195 on the fourth day of the third Sydney Test against South Africa on Saturday.

Play was not possible on the fourth morning due to light rain and a wet outfield.

Australia lead the series 2-0 after big wins in Brisbane and Melbourne and are pushing for a series whitewash to seal their place in the World Test Championship final in London in June.
