19:24 Local Time, 13:54 GMT, 19:24 IST: Good news, folks! The inspection is scheduled for 7.45pm. That's only around 20 minutes away. Hopefully, we are not far away from resumption
19:15 Local Time, 13:45 GMT, 19:15 IST: It has stopped raining, but the covers are still in place. The umpires have had an inspection of the areas surrounding the pitch, which has been uncovered. The forecast though does promise better weather after 8 pm and hopefully we'll get some more cricket.
18:55 Local Time, 13:25 GMT, 18:55 IST: We still haven't got any news about a possible inspection / resumption. We're also getting close to a point where West Indies might not be able to continue with their batting. That'll be a real shame for them considering how well Rutherford and Chase were going.
18:35 Local Time, 13:05 GMT, 18:35 IST: Rain has stopped once again, but with the ground compledtely covered, it'll take a while for the groundstaff to get it match ready.
18:20 Local Time, 12:50 GMT, 18:20 IST: Oh dear! The rain is back and so are the covers. ICYMI, we've already started losing overs and we'll lose a few more now
18:05 Local Time, 12:35 GMT, 18:05 IST: It's been more than an hour since the players walked off and we have started losing overs now
17:50 Local Time, 12:20 GMT, 17:50 IST: We have some good news. Rain has stopped and the staff have started to peel the covers off. Will we lose any overs though?
17:30 Local Time, 12:00 GMT, 17:30 IST: Steady rain at the moment and the entire ground is under covers. The wait continues..
17:05 Local Time, 11:35 GMT, 17:05 IST: The rain has got heavier now even as the groundstaf prepare to cover the entire ground. The wind is starting to blow aswell, so that could be some good news
17:01 Local Time, 11:31 GMT, 17:01 IST: The umpires have had enough of the drizzle and the players are off. Russel Arnold reckons it could just be a monor delay, but he also adds that there's no wind to take these rain clouds away. The 4th umpire is out with an umbrella as he inspects the conditions.
