Clouds are rolling in now, light is fading, the Umpire talks to the
captain and the batsmen, and the ycome off!
So play is stopped for now, they'll probably call stumps soon with
only 25 minutes of play left anyway, well wait for word from the
men of the cloth
That's it, Umpires and Ref call stumps, the game is over for the
day, we'll probably have an early start tomorrow
