2nd Test: Zimbabwe v Bangladesh at Bulawayo, 26 Feb - 1 Mar 2004

Ball-by-Ball Commentary

       Four inches of overnight rain has left certain areas of the
        outfield very wet
       The umpires, keeping player safety in mind have decided to relook
        at 11:00 local time
       The sun is out and chances are good for play to start this morning
       The pitch was not affected by the rain and is dry, just the
        outfield causing concern
       We will be back as soon as the umpires complete the inspection at
        11:00 (09:00 GMT)
       The inspection has shown that the outfield is still not fit for
        play
       The Umpires have indicated that lunch will be taken at 12:00 (10:00
        GMT) and a further inspection to take place at 12:40
       The players have come out after lunch to do some warm-ups, but at
        this stage no indication has been given as to a start
       The umpires have had a look at the outfield and have decided that
        it is still not safe to play on
       The next inspection is due at 14:00 (12:00 GMT)
       After a final inspection the umpires have decided that the outfield
        will not dry enough for any play on day 1
       The first day's play of the second and final Test has been called
        off
       Play will start 30 minutes earlier tomorrow (07:30 GMT)
       Morning from Bulawayo, but bad news as overnight rain has just
        componded the problem in the outfield
       The areas that were wet yesterday seem to be in a worse condition
        and play for day 2 is under doubt
       The sun once again is out, but the heavy rain last night is the
        major problem and not good news
       There will not be an inspection again until after lunch at 12:40
        but chances of play are remote
       Nothing else to do but hope it dries out ... but rain is expected
        later today
       We will keep you informed
       The Bangladesh players have not arrived at the ground, their
        management have, who will call the team if required
       News from Bulawayo is getting worse, the covers are on as a light
        rain has started to fall
       There was going to be an inspection at 12:00 GMT, but that will now
        not be possible with the rain
       Things are looking good for day 2 to be suspended as well
       With no chance of the outfield recovering, and rain starting to
        fall, the umpires have suspended play for day two
       At this rate we just might not have any cricket in this test match.
       By some sort of miracle we hope to bring you some cricket at 07:30
        GMT tomorrow
