they're taking the offer of light
Goodmorning from Kingsmead, Durban
The weather looking very gloomy,it's not raining at the moment,was
alittle earlier,still not sure if play will start the scheduled
time of 09:30
If play begins this morning it's expected that the lights will be
on from start
Drizzling here at Kingsmead - play delayed
The umps will be checking periodically at the pitch and
conditions,no start time scheduled as yet
The weather report coming thru saying that rain on and off during
the day and will only start clearing around 5pm
At the moment it's a light ,but constant rain
The likelihood of taking an early Lunch is pretty good
The rain coming down harder now
The umps coming out on theield to look at the field
Lunch is going to be taken at 11:50
No play until then
Still raining at KIngsmead - inspection will be done after Lunch
The covers being taken off - The umps are out there
scheduled to start at 13:00
1 of the covers have now returned over the pitch,still due to start
pending rain
the covers returning - as does the rain
A light drizzle now returning
The covers have been removed again, now looking at 13:20 to start
Play set to resume at 14:00
Play will resume at 14:00, 47 overs remain today
Just when it looked like it may clear, the rain returning to
Kingsmead
The umps now coming out onto the field
Play was supposed to get on the way - but the weather again closing
in
The covers now coming back onto the field
A dismal sight over here, as the covers have been taken on and off
numerous times this morning
The weather really looks like it's setting in now
The reports have said it'll clear in Durban around 17:00 - at this
stage it looks even doubtful about that
Tomorrow is to be reported as Fine and sunny
A few spectators still loyal enoughto stick it out and wait around
Most spectators now having gone home,as it looks like no play
today
Play has been called off for the day, will resume at 9:30 tomorrow
No Play - Rain
Goodmorning from an overcast,and fairly humid day,play looks set
to begin the scheduled time of 09:30
