Commentary

Right! India head into the World Cup without any practice matches under their belt. They have played enough white-ball Cricket in the recent past, so there won't be any complaints for Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid, heading into a high-octane clash against Australia on Sunday.

This is the final day for the warm-up games before the much-awaited World Cup action finally begins in Ahmedabad on Thursday. England and New Zealand will battle it out and most importantly, the weather looks better throughout the day. Now, it's time to end the coverage here, until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Pradeep signing off. Ciao

4:05 pm IST - It's pelting down again. And we have to settle down for an inevitable very soon. Match abandoned

3:56 pm IST - OH NO, AGAIN! AGAIN AND AGAIN!. It has started to rain again and all the hard work done by the groundsmen for the last hour goes in vain. The pitch, squares and bowler's run-up areas have been covered now

3:45 pm IST - The markings are done. Sawdust and sand have been applied on either side of the pitch too

3:40 pm IST - Alright! The outfield has taken a heavy beating due to relentless rain from last night but the groundstaff's aren't giving up as they are working very hard to get things underway ASAP

3:31 pm IST - Two super Soopers are moving around. We will get to watch a good amount of Cricket but only if it stays this way throughout

3:23 pm IST. Good news! The main cover has been peeled off. In fact, all the covers have been removed and by the look of things, the inspection will be taking place shortly. It looks dark again and the floodlights are on

3:10 pm IST - The good news is that it looks brighter now and the bad news is that more rain is predicted later in the evening

3:00 pm IST - Super Sooper is moving around. Looks like the weights on the sheets have been removed. The spectators are seen occupying their respective seats

2:50 pm IST - The rain has stopped and the umpires are having a chat in the middle. Fingers crossed for the next update
