UPDATE 9.12 pm IST (3.42 pm GMT) - Big news coming from the ground as we will have a swift restart at 9.20 pm IST (3.50 pm GMT). No overs lost either, which is excellent news, so, grab a cup of coffee and get back quickly for all the action.
UPDATE 9.01 pm IST (3.31 pm GMT) - Just when it looked like we were getting closer to the restart, the drizzle is back and even though it is light, the covers are coming back on as well. It's been that kind of a game but let's not lose hope just yet. Stay tuned as we bring you the latest updates from the ground. And about five minutes later, the covers come off once again. Frustrating for the ground staff but good news for the fans and players. Let's hope we get a restart soon as the umpires are also out having an inspection.
UPDATE 8.32 pm IST (3.02 pm GMT) - Nothing much to report from the ground as it is still raining in Colombo and the covers are firmly on. However, the cut-off time is 12 am IST which means even if the rain persists for a prolonged period we might get a chance of getting those required 20 overs to constitute the game. If that happens, Pakistan would need 200 to win which from 44 runs in 11 overs would be a near impossible task. But, that is the worst-case scenario, so let's not get ahead of ourselves and hope that the rain goes away soon. Stick around for more updates. Just a few minutes later, the rain has stopped and a few of the covers are being peeled off which is excellent news.
UPDATE 8.09 pm IST (2.39 pm GMT) - Oh, no! The covers are coming on. There is a bit of a drizzle and the umpires are taking the players off the field. Slowly but surely, it is getting a bit heavier as well. Another unwanted break in play but all we can do is wait. Stay tuned for further updates.
