UPDATE – 2.32 pm IST (9.02 am GMT) – It looks like the rain has eased off a bit and some of the covers are also being removed. So, the wait should not be that long here.
The rain has gotten heavier now, and the umpires have decided to take the players off the field. The covers are on and almost the whole field has been covered very quickly.
