       Despite the floodlights being switched on, the umpires have decided
        its too dark to continue play
       So off the field they go
       It's a farcicial situation really, once again the umpires going
        strictly by the light meters rather than administering common
        sense
       The amount of light that the floodlights provide is perfectly fit
        for play
       The suspension in play is nothing but an insult to all the
        spectators - however few of them there are - who paid to see
        today's play
       There are covers out in the middle of the ground in anticipation of
        rain
       But that rain still looks some way off
       The covers are now going on the pitch
       Rain is imminent by the look of things
       That rain never came
       But that's it anyway, it's stumps, despite the availabilty of
        floodlights and the absense of rain, we're done for the day
