The rain has got a little too heavy and the players are heading off again. What have we done to deserve this? With the rain coming down again, we have about 10 minutes left before overs start to be lost. Let's hope that the strong wind can blow this through and the Warriors can get out there for the final 15 balls of the Innings Match State: Delay - Rain 12.50pm The rain looks to have come in with a vengence, and we will definitely be losing overs now. The groundstaff have started to run out more covers now. Let's hope that this rain isn't going to settle. 1pm Looks like the rain is clearing away as the Third Umpire is talking to the ground staff. Hopefully we will find out soon if the Warriors are going to be able to get back out there again. There does seem to be a fair amount of rain on top of the covers, and the groundstaff are just starting to bring out the equipment to start the mop up. There doesn't seem to be that much urgenc, maybe the Warriors Innings is over....

Match State: Delay - wet outfield 1.20pm All of the covers have been stripped off the middle, and the two Umpires are heading out into the middle to have a look. Still waiting on offical news that the Warriors Innings is over, although you'd guess that it is. The Warriors support staff and players are heading out to warm up ahead of them bowling. Lots of people looking down at the wicket. Let's hope that no water sneaked through the covers 1.30pm The cut off time for the game today is 2.40pm, when the Reds do get out there to bat, it will be a reduced game, will be interesting to see what the DLS target will be. Match State: Innings Break

1.40pm The wait still goes on. Looks like some water did get under the covers onto the wicket, and they are working hard to get it dried up. With the cut off time for the game to be 2.40pm, I'm sarting to wonder if there will be more play. The Reds will need about 20 minutes to fit in the five overs they will need to make this an offical game. The Warriors are using the break to do some fielding practice, their are about five fielders in the slips cordon. My guess is that they aren't going to be using that field for real when the Reds bat! Match State: Delay - Wet outfield 1.55pm Sadly the clock keeps ticking, and even though the sun in shining, we still don't have any action in the middle. This must be so frustrating for everyone. 2.05pm Good news, we have stumps going back in. Still waiting to hear what target the Reds are going to have to face, and how many overs that they are going to have to chase them down. 2.15pm Looks like we are going to be starting again at 2.20pm, where the Reds will have five overs or so to chase down what we think will be 53 runs for the win.
