Sadly we have reached the time when the umpires have no other choice to call the match off. A proper dampener for all the cricket fans and especially for the fans present in the stadium. They came out all guns blazing and was seen partying on the grass banks and on the stands despite rain playing spoilsport. We move to Durban tomorrow, a place where you dare to predict on the weather conditions. For us in the commentary box it was a wait for eternity but the duo of Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and Pradeep tried to be at your service all the time providing the latest update. The waiting game has finally ended and it's time to bid adieu. Till tomorrow and more cricketing action, this is the duo of Arya and Pradeep signing off. Goodnight! Cheers!
08:20 PM local time, 11:50 PM IST: Alright, it's official, the inevitable had to happen, the game has been called off due to rain. The incessant rain meant, we didn't get to see a single ball bowled and the game has been abandoned.
08:15 PM local time, 11:45 PM IST- Most of the covers have been removed but the cover on the pitch remains in place and a steady drizzle continues. We are not far away from the cut-off time. Things looking very bleak to be honest.
7:48 PM local time, 11:18 PM IST: The rain is back and so are the covers. The wait continues and hopefully we get a game but that looks highly unlikely at this moment. The cut off time for a five over game is just about an hour from now.
6:40pm local time (10:10pm IST): Alright, we have some great news coming out of nowhere, the rain has stopped and the covers are coming off slowly. Let's hope we have a game in quick time as the drainage system at St George's is one of the best in the world. Stay tuned as we bring you the latest.

5:40pm local time (9:10pm IST): Live visuals coming in, it's absolutely pelting down at St George's. Players and ground staffs are in anticipation that rain subsides at sometime. But, it's looking very bleak at the moment to have any sort of play anytime soon.
