There will be another inspection in about 20 minutes and if the weather holds good, the action will start at 12:50 pm local (6:50 am GMT).

11:36 IST: Update 12:10 pm local (6:10 am GMT) – I am afraid that I have no good news. There was a steady spell of drizzle and the covers are firmly in place. In fact, more covers have been brought in to cover the entire square now. Floodlights are in full effect currently. Things do not look bright. Quite literally.

11:35 IST: … Day 2, Session 2 …

10:59 IST: Lunch has been taken! So, the last two sessions have seen no play in this Test. The umpires have taken Lunch and we hope for some action after that. Do join us at 12:10 pm local (6:10 am GMT) for the second session of Day 2.

10:49 IST: Update 11:16 am local (5:16 am GMT) – Boy oh boy. Just as the broadcasters were getting ready to come live. We saw a very light drizzle. The covers are back on the pitch! It has been that kind of a day, folks and stuff like this is likely gonna happen a few more times over the next couple of days. The players are in their whites as the drizzle is very light.

10:35 IST: Update 11 am local (5 am GMT) – Okay, the covers are coming back off again. As always, we will keep you updated further. Let us see what the umpires decide. They walk out to the middle now for an inspection. They wander around the pitch a bit and walk back out. We will resume the action at 11:20 am local (5:20 am GMT). That was quick.
