TOSS DELAYED DUE TO RAIN IN GUWAHATI
INSPECTION COMING UP AT 10:25PM IST
Update at 10:05pm IST: Covers are coming off. Faint drizzle now. The audience is pouring back in and cheers of “Khela Hobe” echo in the stands. There are small puddles scattered across the outfield
Update at 9:30pm IST: No sign of the groundstaff now. Nothing has changed weatherwise in Guwahati. Are we well and truly headed for a washout?
Update at 8:50pm IST: Rain returns in Guwahati and it’s the heaviest it’s been this evening. Covers back on. Not looking good for RR vs KKR
Update at 8:45pm IST: Covers are off. Groundsmen examining a few wet areas on the pitch by the practice pitches
Update at 8:40pm IST: Some checks being performed on the Spyder cam, which has been covered in a black plastic bag. Only the pitch and run-ups are under cover now. The ever so light drizzle persists
Update at 8:10pm IST: They have started pulling the square covers away. Two soppers have jumped into action.
Update at 8pm IST: There are little puddles forming on the covers, which have been laid across the field. The heavy downpour has relented and we are back to a slight drizzle
Update at 7:45pm IST: The drizzle has translated into a heavy, heavy downpour now. There is around an hour to go though before we start losing overs. Now you can also see an occasional flash of lightning light up the backdrop and as I type this, the drizzle has gotten heavier. This can’t be good. The stadium speakers are being covered in polythene bags now

As of 6:20pm: Covers have been brought in to the middle and broadcast cameras have also been covered. Two umbrellas have been brought up to the centre wicket. No rain so far.
