UPDATE – 8.26 pm IST (2.56 GMT) – The Super-soppers have done their job effectively and we have a resumption time. The match will begin again at 8.35 pm IST (3.05 pm GMT). The revised target for Australia will be 317 in 33 overs. So, that means they will need 261 runs more in the remaining 24 overs.
UPDATE – 8.16 pm IST (2.46 pm GMT) – Almost all the covers have been removed except for the one on the square. It is not raining at all and it is just about getting the outfield ready now as the umpires are having an inspection too. However, the cut-off time for a 20-over chase is 9.28 pm IST (3.58 pm GMT), but we are far from that and should get more overs and much more action barring any further showers. Stay with us for more news.
UPDATE – 7.53 pm IST (2.23 pm GMT) – Good news! The rain seems to have relented and the ground staff have already begun the process of peeling the covers off. If it does not rain again, we should not be far away from a resumption. Stick around for more updates.
UPDATE – 7.32 pm IST (2.02 pm GMT) – It is raining pretty heavily now and the news from the middle is that we have started losing overs from 7.26 pm IST (1.56 pm GMT). So, when and if we resume again, Australia will have a revised target. Stay with us for further updates.
The rain is back. The players are heading out of the field now while the ground staff are bringing the covers on now. We hope that like earlier, it is just a passing shower
