Commentary
- This now becomes a two game series then! The second game will be played on the 19th of this month. Join us at 7.30 am GMT. Hopefully, the weather remains good for us! Till then, goodbye and take care!
- UPDATE - Well, the inevitable has happened, the game has been CALLED OFF! The players are shaking hands! We were just about to witness around 10 overs. There was rain before the game started which saw a long delay. The groundsmen did a brilliant job to get the ground ready but the rain which returned washed away the hopes of any kind of play.
- Update - 1239 GMT - Nothing new to update. It continues to pour down and resumption looks very far away right now. Not a single moment on the ground as well.
- Update - 1208 GMT - It has started to rain again and the players are running off the field. The covers are back on. We are in for another delay.
- 9.20Azmatullah Omarzai to Sikandar Raza, Too full and on off, this is driven to mid off.
