Pakistan had no hesitation in agreeing to a day-night Test in Brisbane in December, but the Proteas are yet to commit.
South Africa's reluctance stems from the fact none of their players have played with a pink ball under lights, while Australia's players have the experience of last summer's Test and several day-night Sheffield Shield matches in recent years.
The third Test has been confirmed for 24-28 November in Adelaide, but it remains to be seen if it will be played with a pink ball or a traditional red ball during the day.
