Flying ants stop play

We've had bees at the Wanderers but this is, to this amateur historian's mind, the first time flying ants have stopped play. What, you may ask? Maybe you call them Patingas or Parwana or Eeyal or Eesal but you probably know the ones. They come before the rain, are attracted to light and shed their wings upon landing, and there were so many of them at SuperSport Park, the umpires were concerned they would fly into the players' eyes. The players were taken off after an over of South Africa's chase and a light pylon at SuperSport Park was turned off in the hope the flying ants would find somewhere else to congregate. After 28 minutes, they did and play could resume with no overs lost. It's wild out in Africa, they say, and so it was.
