       And the rain gets even heavier and off they go, and off scurry the
        crowd with much of the ground without roof they're hovering under
        the temporary plastic tents and at the northern end under the tree
        overhangs
       covers coming, contrary to early word it seems the WI innings is
        not necessarily over
       apparently the inning scheduled to finish at 5:30 could be extended
        to 6:15 with a full lunch break and then time can taken from the
        lunch break meaning that overs are not for a fair while
       apparently the inning scheduled to finish at 5:30 could be extended
        to 6:15 with a full break and then time can taken from the break
        meaning that overs are not lost for a fair while
       after some indecision, they've finally lifted the main covers and
        are looking to be rolling up the undergarments
       the undercovers are off, the stumps are in, the sky is a light
        grey, the far off hills are bathed in sunshine and the seagulls
        happily frolic whilst groundsmen push brooms, looks like play
        should get underway soon
       the big covers now being dragged away to be folded up
       Tractor off to collect the other covers

Match State: Delay - rain

       And now word comes through that the innings break will be taken.
       The umpires are hoping that there will be a restart at 6:55pm local
        time (0825 GMT), with Zimbabwe to face 47 overs - weather
        permitting, of course.
