The inevitable has happened. The match has been called off. Once it started raining, puddles started to form on the ground and it never looked like the game will resume any further. That is it then! Join us for the second match on the 15th of this month at 12.45 pm IST (7.15 am GMT). Till then, goodbye and cheers!
Update - 1707 IST (1138 GMT) - IT has got a little brighter but there is a lot of water on the outfield, chances of resumption anytime soon looks bleak.
Update - 1518 IST (0948 GMT) - IT IS ABSOLUTELY POURING! Not good signs. There are puddles on the outfield too. We continue to wait.
Well, the heavens have opened up and we are in for a delay. The covers are on too. It's got quite gloomy Bere. We might be in for a lengthy delay.
