The players are coming back on the field for a delayed start of the second session.
The play shall resume at 7 pm and Tea time has been pushed back to 9 pm
It would seem that we are facing a delayed start to the session. According to the schedule, the players should be out there by now but the square is still under protection. The sun is out though and two super soppers are draining all the water the field sustained. Inspection scheduled at 6:30 PM.
Good news for England fans, probably not for Indians. Rain has stopped, the sun is out and there is some movement on the field. We can expect the play to resume shortly.
