Warming lamps are being used at the shady end of Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in an effort to dry the pitch before Friday's World Cup match between Germany and Serbia.
Heavy rain over the past three days has left the pitch waterlogged and forced FIFA to ban both Group D teams from training at the stadium on the eve of the match. A large tarpaulin was also placed on one end of the field, with about 30 large lamps heating the grass.
Sunshine and blue skies returned to Port Elizabeth on Thursday, when Serbia held a training session at a local university. Germany has delayed its arrival in Port Elizabeth until later Thursday after training at its Pretoria base.
