That is the end of play on the first day of the second Test at

trailing West Indies by 89 runs. Join us tomorrow for live
commentary of the second day's play.
Hello and welcome to Cricinfo's live coverage of the second day's
play of the second Test at Hobart. Unfortunately the start has
been delayed because of rain. Play will begin shortly.
Match State: Delay - Day 2 - Rain delays start
[11.35 am] It's raining again at Hobart. The covers are on the
field.
[12.20] It's still raining at Hobart and play has not started on
the second day. The outfield is pretty dry and the ground staff
are confident of a quick start if and when the rain stops.
The players are taking lunch at Hobart. The entire first session on
the second day has been lost to rain.
Conditions look brighter and hopefully play will resume after
lunch, provided the drizzle lets up.
[1.10 pm] I'm afraid that it's still raining at the Bellerive Oval.
There is no immediate chance of play. Watch this space for regular
updates.
The news is good from Hobart. The rain has finally let up and play
is due to start at 1.45 pm.
The umpires are unhappy with the condition of the outfield. There
is another delay as the ground staff work to get rid of the
surface water.
The players have taken the field and play is about to start
