3:45pm

It’s already 45 minutes past the scheduled start time and it’s not looking good

Wondering what will happen if the Reserved Day is called off?

If the game is called off today as well, the teams will share one point each and the contest will go down as a ‘No Result’.

The game will remain a 50-over per side contest if play resumes within 4:30pm. However, had the game been curtailed and restarted today before the second spell of rains arrived, the reserve day would have seen the game remain a shortened one.

3:20pm

Dhruva says: Just as things were looking slightly brighter, there’s considerable cloud formation again. No rain now, however.

2:55pm

Just as we speak...

Overs will be cut if the match doesn’t start in another 90 minutes

2:45pm

The covers are finally coming off but we’ll have to wait and see if the match starts at 3:00pm as scheduled

2:40pm

Rain has stopped but still a lot of work left, says Dhruva

1:43pm

With rains predicted till tomorrow early morning, it will be a miracle if we could get a match containing the full quota of 100 overs

1:40pm

Looks like another long day ahead

Light at the end of the tunnel for India?

India’s exits in the last two T20 World Cups have stirred a debate around its PowerPlay approach. With a World Cup looming, the need for aggression at the top has percolated to one-dayers as well.  

However, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have shown a glimpse of the destruction that they can create with a 121-run stand for the first wicket against Pakistan yesterday. Is this a sign of what lies ahead for the Indian fans?

With light to heavy rains predicted, what happens if the Reserve Day gets washed out?

The weather forecast is pretty similar today in Colombo, with chances of thunder showers and precipitation ranging between 40-50%.

If the game is called off today as well, the teams will share one point each and the contest will go down as a ‘No Result’.

The game will remain a 50-over per side contest when play resumes at 3pm today. However, had the game been curtailed and restarted today before the second spell of rains arrived, the reserve day would have seen the game remain a shortened one.

The story so far:

Intense action lasting 112 minutes was followed by an almost four-hour-long agonising wait as rain ended up emerging as the winner in the high-octane Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan for the second weekend in succession.

However, unlike in Pallekele last Saturday, the teams will resume the Super 4 clash on Monday, with India placed at 147 for two in 24.1 overs. Virat Kohli and K.L. Rahul - who was drafted in only because Shreyas Iyer hurt his back minutes before the toss - will resume India’s essay at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Monday afternoon. - Read the full report by Amol Karhadkar here
