19:45(IST)
Still raining quite heavily in Thiruvananthapuram, the cut off time for a 5-over game is 10.15, this means we should have the first ball by 10.15 to have the first game.
19:19(IST)
Still raining in Thiruvananthapuram, no update as to when we can have the toss, but looking at the conditions, not anytime soon.
19:09(IST)
19:01(IST)We were supposed to have the first ball at 7, but constant rain has ment that we haven't even had the toss yet. Indian team induldging in some football now which pleases the crowd, things aren't looking bright in Trivandrum for now.
18:53(IST)The Indian players are on the field for some warm up and are playing football in the rain, they are greeted to loud cheers from the crowd. Would be really sad if the game is a washout as we already have a full ground here!
18:46(IST) Shashi Tharoor had tweeted this a while back, will we see a miracle in Thiruvananthapuram?
Latest picture from theTrivandrum cricket stadium. It will be a miracle if there is any play today. But we cricket fans believe in miracles!
18:32(IST)The toss is delayed due to rain, still drizzling here and the groundsmen are on the staff clearing water from the covers, but the bad news is that the drizzle hasn't stopped. We will let you know as soon as we have more updates!
18:26(IST)We still have drizzle on the ground, and the toss looks likely to be delayed, but still no confirmation though..The square is still fully covered..
18:17(IST)Right now, it isn't a heavy shower, but it is consistently pouring since afternoon. This stadium boasts of the Sub-Air drainage system, the second one after Bengaluru, and if the system works as well as it does in Bengaluru, we could have a start as soon as the rain stops. For all that to happen though - the rain has to stop. We have some live pictures and the entire square has been covered. The scheduled toss is still a while away, let's hope that the rain abates and allows an uninterrupted game.
18:13(IST)We have some bad news coming from the centre, there are puddles still in the outifield and its still raining. It looks highly unlikely that we will start on time or get a game at all at the moment, this is not what fans in Kerala would be hoping for considering that they are getting international cricket after almost three years!
18:05(IST)The square remains fully covered for now but it isn't exactly raining cats and dogs here, but still its raining. The crowd has started to come in and the stadium is almost full here.
17:58(IST)The latest update from the ground is that it is not raining at the moment but the cloud cover is still there, which is expected to be there for the duration of the match. What the fans will be hoping for is that the thundershowers and the rain stays away. Still 1 hour to go for the first ball and 30 minutes to go for the toss.
