Complete Match abandoned without toss

22:11 Local Time, 16:41 GMT:
22:03 Local Time, 16:33 GMT: Live visuals from the ground suggest the covers are fully drenched with water, and the drizzle continues. Just a question of when and not if this match will be called-off.
21:52 Local Time, 16:22 GMT, 21:52 IST: Still no signs of the rain easing and it is increasingly likely that the game would be called off now. Still no official confirmation.
21:26 Local Time, 15:56 GMT:
21:00 Local Time, 15:30 GMT: "Still raining, in case you wanted to check for an update." - pings Gokul. The cut-off time to start a 5-over game is 22:30 local. So the rain needs to stop soon because the groundstaff will need time to get the conditions ready for play.
20:30 Local Time, 15:00 GMT: Still raining, still a steady downpour. We've officially started losing overs as well. Hang on, folks! This could be a long night.
20:10 Local Time, 14:40 GMT:
19:52 Local Time, 14:22 GMT: Oops, the drizzle is back and so are the covers.
19:45 Local Time, 14:15 GMT: We have great news. Toss is at 20:00 local and the game will start at 20:15 local.
19:40 Local Time, 14:10 GMT: "The pitch is being rolled now and Cummins and Vettori are beside the wicket having a close look and chatting. The stumps are going in, the camera is being set up pitch side for the toss coverage, and we should be having the toss soon as well. We'll lose some overs if the match starts after 8:30. But will be a full game if it gets underway before that." - informs Gokul.
19:23 Local Time, 13:53 GMT: "They are removing the centre covers now. And the hessian is coming off too" - updates Gokul. Things are looking pretty good. The stands are filling up and people are waiting patiently for the action to begin.
19:15 Local Time, 13:45 GMT: "Covers are coming off again" - pings Gokul. Live pictures also show the same and the super soppers are working away.
19:00 Local Time, 13:30 GMT: The two captains are out in the middle but not in their playing jerseys. They are in their training gear and have been summoned by the match referee, he's having a word with them and it ends with Cummins giving the thumbs up. Gill and Cummins continue to have a chat.
18:52 Local Time, 13:22 GMT: Oh no! "It's not raining right now but they are bringing the covers back on. Slight dark clouds above the ground, which could be the reason." - updates Gokul. The toss will definitely be delayed now.
18:45 Local Time, 13:15 GMT: "The covers are coming off now. And there are loud cheers each time a cover is being removed" - pings Gokul.
