8.30pm: Hello, folks. What's occurring? Match abandoned is what's occurring, despite the best efforts of the groundstaff at Kingsmead. Sounds like there had been a proper deluge, and the outfield wasn't up to it. A no-result isn't great news for Durban's Super Giants, but I think it just about keeps them mathematically in the hunt for top four. Anyway, that's enough from Durban for tonight, and a soggy SA20 Friday. We'll be back for more tomorrow, with Pretoria Capitals taking on MI Cape Town. From Ekanth, Ranjith and myself, it's goodnight and good luck. Bye!

8:25pm: Still no news, folks. Let's see if Alan Gardner's entry into the hotseat changes things.

8:05pm: The wet outfield is still an issue. No official updates yet.

7:45pm: No updates yet but the signs are improving.

7:25pm: *Checks the watch after entering the time* It's still rain o' clock, folks. Loss of overs is now a certainty. *A few moments later*, the rain is no more the issue. But the outfield is an issue.

allie: "So after 19:21 we losing overs which is now :("

7:07pm: It's still raining. What else is new?

6:49pm: Rain 2.0 is on, 3.0 if you include the first game. It's pouring, Shaun Pollock suspects this could be a long break, confirms that 83 minutes can be lost without affecting the number of overs. Fifty are out, looks like the other 33 are in danger of being washed away. Jonty Rhodes and a member of the support staff are out to help put up the covers. It's raining so hard that the covers have gotten heavy and are being kind of tugged and bounced to lob away the water.
