8.00pm The covers are coming off. Play will resume at 8.18pm. Heat to chase 66 in five overs.

7.25pm There is a flash of lightening in the sky. And the umpires have asked the players to leave. A little bit of rain as well but apparently it's more about the lightening. The main cover is coming on slowly. And I think it will Durban Heat batting whenever we resume. And then if it's a 15-over game, Heat's target would be 160.
