- 21:01 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: The silver lining!Among all the heavy rain, the covers and the stoppage, the good thing is that the overs in the game have not been reduced. India will bat further in this game with Pakistan batting next. However, the only cause of concern is that the weather forecast for Monday in Colombo is not pleasing.

- 20:28 (IST)India vs Pakistan Live Score: Here is what umpires said -"Ideally we want to get as many overs as we can for both sides, but we don't know if it is 9pm or quarter to 9pm. Whatever the decision we make, if it is a 34-over game for a 9pm start and it starts to rain after play resumes then we start tomorrow with the same number of overs. But if we don't get any further decision on the number of overs today then we have a full 50-over game tomorrow," said umpires Chris Gaffaney and Ruchira Palliyaguruge.
- 20:11 (IST)Live Score: Amazing visuals!Would you believe this? The groundstaff are now using a series of fans to dry the wet areas on the ground. This is such a rare of the rarest events on the cricket field. Of all, the good news is that everyone is trying hard to get the match back on.
