More updates from the cricketing world. Same country, the UAE, but a different section. Ireland and South Africa are playing the second of the 2-match T20I series in Abu Dhabi, the first one being pocketed easily by the Proteas. The second one has begun well for the Irish, as they have raced to 98/0 after 9 overs, with Ross Adair reaching his second T20I fifty. However, they will know from the last game that anything under 200 is not going to trouble South Africa much.
Okay. So what's left from the warm-up matches? Aahhh... West Indies vs India. On a difficult pitch to bat on, Jemimah Rodrigues' fighting 52 has taken India to a competitive 141/8, in a scorecard where only 2 batters crossed 20. West Indies were decent with the ball, with skipper Hayley Matthews again leading the charge with 4/17 in 4 overs. But the reply from the Windies has not been that great. India's new-ball bowlers have run riot and reduced West Indies to 22/3 at the end of the Powerplay. On slow pitches, it will be a challenge for the Caribbeans to play the Indian spinners.
4.10 PM GMT UPDATE - Scratch the previous update. The covers were indeed almost taken off and the umpires were due for an inspection but the weather gods seem to have got offended. Back comes the rain, back on come the covers.
Moving across to another venue, after a disastrous period for the last 12 months or so, New Zealand Women have begun brightly against South Africa. Leigh Kasperek and Melie Kerr took 3 wickets apiece and dismantled the Proteas for 92. Skipper Laura Wolvaardt was the only one who could cross 20, making 33. In reply, the White Ferns are in a strong position at 56/1 after 9 overs, with Kerr leading the charge with the bat as well.
4 PM GMT UPDATE - A little bit of positive news coming our way. By the looks of it, the groundstaff is working on the covers. Not quite sure whether the rain has stopped but it does appear that the wind is pretty strong, which is blowing the clouds away. Fingers crossed we get a resumption soon. Till then, let's delve into what is happening in Women's Cricket in the World Cup, which is about to kickstart from October 3. Starting with Aus-Eng, the females are in a much better position, having restricted Australia to 162/6 after 20 overs. The defending champions rode on Beth Mooney's 50 to get past the 150-mark. It seems like that pitch also is taking some turn but England will be happy so far. In response, they are 38/2 in the 5th over, losing their openers Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt cheaply.
For now, we play the waiting game, hoping for the game to resume. Australia and their fans would be very happy if that does not happen but from a cricket fan's point of view, let's hope that the game resumes at some point in time, albeit it will be a shortened one. Please stay tuned for updates.
It is not like England have not bowled well but perhaps they were too desperate for wickets. This is what happens when you have one eye on the clouds and are not fully focused on the job at present. The new-ball bowlers started well but then Olly Stone started to leak runs. Overs 3-6 yielded 62 runs and that prompted Harry Brook to ring in a number of changes - something which he would not have done, had the rain threat not been looming. That meant the bowlers never got set and Australia got the momentum. Even though England managed to dismiss Head, the damage had begun. Australia then resorted to playing Rashid out and got themselves so far ahead in the game that the required rate dropped down below 5.
Ian Ward on air states that as per the forecast, once the rain starts to fall, it will not stop. But cricket matches and results are not based on forecasts. Australia have played much better with the bat, compared to the 4th ODI. Short and Head got off to a 78-run stand, pretty much similar to what they did in Lord's. But crucially, here, Smith came out and ensured that there was no collapse. He added 40 more with Short and took Australia to a position of safety. For as long as one of the openers was out there, Australia was batting at nearly 10 an over, which has seen them go well ahead of the DLS par score. Even now, this current partnership between Smith and Inglis is three shy of a 50.
Ahh welll... a matter of a few balls! If the rain had come at 19.5 and play was halted, not to resume again, this would have been a no result. Miraculously, the rain held itself just long enough to allow 20.4 overs to be bowled in the second innings. The DLS score after 20.4 overs with 2 wickets down reads 116 for Australia, which means they are 49 ahead.

Matthew Potts signals for a new pair of shoes towards the dressing room. Ian Ward and Ricky Ponting on air suggest cheekily to call for the support staff and physio, just to waste some time. Potts has his shoes off and socks off as well. Harry Brook is near the bowler and is almost about to burst out laughing. The umpires get a bit serious now and want to get this done quickly and on comes someone from the dressing room, with a pair of shoes. Still 14 legal balls away to constitute a game. Potts is ready with his replaced boots now.

DRINKS BREAK. As mentioned earlier, the scheduled break is being taken. At this point in time, England will not mind it one bit but one more wicket will make things interesting as that DLS par score will increase after the third wicket. Australia have done well to play the new balls out and they have got so far ahead, that they can afford to play cautiously for now. They are clearly looking to see off Rashid and play normal cricket against the other bowlers. England may be behind right now, but a couple of quick wickets and it will be England who will be charging ahead. Matthew Potts is back on. 6-0-48-1 so far.

Well, well, well, what happened in that last over? On 14.1, Josh Inglis looked to flay at a ball close to his body and got beaten. There was half an appeal for a catch by Jamie Smith, the keeper and Brydon Carse but neither was sure. UltraEdge detects a thin spike when the ball was close to the bat!

Short looks to drive it on the up but this is nowhere even close to a half volley. He only succeeds in getting a thick outside edge behind and the keeper, Jamie Smith makes no mistake. Matthew Short departs for 58 (30) and Australia are 118/2, needing another 192 from 224 balls.

Gets to the landmark with a no-look pull over mid-wicket, picking the ball from a short length outside off. It is also his maiden half century in ODIs.

Matthew Potts To Steven Smith
A heart-in-mouth moment for Steven Smith. Fast bowlers have a memory similar to that of an elephant and Potts remembers that he has got Smith twice in this series. Comes in, bowls pretty full and targets the stumps. It comes back in a long way from outside off and raps Smith on the pads as he looks to flick. Potts straightaway goes up in an appeal for LBW and the umpire raises his finger. Smith suspects that is sliding down the leg side and has a discussion with Short and takes the review. Ball Tracker shows it to be missing leg.
Matthew Potts returns. 4-0-33-0 so far.

Brydon Carse To Travis Head OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! And like last game, Carse strikes immediately! Well, in the 4th ODI, once Head got out, Australia fell like a pack of cards. Will it be the same case here as well? On a length, just outside off, Travis Head stayed leg side of the ball and tried to open up the off side. But he got cramped for room and aiming point, he got it directed towards cover. Simple catch for Phil Salt and England break the 78-run opening stand. Travis Head departs for a brisk 31 (26), Australia need another 232 from 257 balls.
Brydon Carse, who was impressive in the last game, has been summoned upon.

CATCHING CHANCE, MISSED! Fuller, outside off, Matthew Short looks to heave it through the on side but is early into the shot. Gets a massive leading edge which goes straight up in the air. Adil Rashid is unable to pick the trajectory of the ball and loses the white ball against the grey background. Starts to circle under the ball and eventually, his hands don't even touch the ball when it lands and it hits him flat on his moustache. A single taken.

FOUR! Not the best of starts. Short and outside off, Travis Head rocks back to cut and gets it to the left of cover. The fielder over there dives to his left and gets a hand to it, but can only parry it behind. 50-RUN OPENING STAND IS UP!
First bowling change of the run chase. Brook turns to spin pretty quickly. Will Jacks is on.

Another excellent delivery. This is disciplined bowling. Not giving Australia anything. On a good length, outside off, Travis looks to tuck it away but misses. The ball hits his right thigh and rolls back on, almost hitting the leg stump! Head had no idea where the ball went.

Again, Matthew Potts tucks Head for room. He is not giving the southpaw any width and Travis is looking to make something happen. Looks to tuck this one away but it comes in big time with the seam, beats the flick and catches him on the pads.

Olly Stone To Matthew Short
Big movement off the seam. Outside off, on a length, Short is not prepared for the movement at all and does not offer any shot. Then he decides to play it but is months late by the time the bat comes down, as the ball skids onto the pad and rolls towards short third. A leg bye taken but a closer look might indicate that it should have been given as a dead ball as Short did not offer a shot.

Landed around middle, Travis Head punches this behind point for a single.
Olly Stone will have the second new ball in his hand. Both teams will have DLS worksheets with them. Eoin Morgan on air informs us that if the game is stopped at 20 overs, the target for Australia is 86, if they do not lose a wicket. That will obviously increase, as and when a wicket falls.
