Umpires are checking the light condition
and finally decided to suspend the game temporarily
all the players are walking out the field
pitch is covered immediately
Weather condition: There is a serious possibility of rain and
umpire Ian Robinson says that the large covers have been brought
out to protect the square as a precautionary measure. Chances of
any more play today are bleak
Its raining heavily now so the play has been abandoned for the day
This two hours loss willbe compensated by starting the play one
hour earlier on 4th and final day
The covers are still on at the Harare sports club. There are damp
patches in the outfield and there is still a lot of cloud cover
surrounding the stadium. If the Sun comes out and dries up these
