Australia maintain they can still claim a series sweep over South Africa despite day three of the third Test being completely washed away by rain in Sydney.
After 57 overs were lost to bad weather across the opening two days, the city's big wet dampened Australia's chances further on Friday with six hours of persistent rain.
It left Australia in limbo at 4-475 in their first innings, with Usman Khawaja unbeaten on 195 and nearing a maiden Test double century.
