07.30 pm: Well, inevitable. Tomorrow is the “final” day as per scheduled. But we will need that reserve day for sure and even that is not going to be enough, in all likelihood.

06.40 pm: There’s an update on the BCCI match center about 20 minutes back: “Nothing to report.” That’s where we are now. *Heavy sigh*

06.22 pm: Were the Indian pacers unlucky to not take more than two wickets on day 3 for how well they bowled?

05.15 pm: It’s officially a washout in the first session now. One down, two to go it looks like.

5.05 pm: At this point, even this reserve day would be pointless.

5.00 pm: Not them most encouraging line from AFP’s report. “In a match where rain saw the whole of Friday’s opening day washed out without a ball bowled, there was now a strong possibility another full day’s play could be abandoned completely.”
