20:33 Local Time, 15:03 GMT, 20:33 IST: The official scorers at the ground confirm that the Australian innings is complete. So, they are not going to come out to bat which means they have a below par score on this surface.

20:40 Local Time, 15:10 GMT, 20:40 IST: Update from the ground: Still steady, this rain! Now you can see more blue (the sheets) than green. Going to be quite a task removing all these sheets!
 
21:10 Local Time, 15:40 GMT, 21:10 IST: "India's innings should have begun at 20:40, they've lost 30 minutes right now. Cut off time is somewhere around 22:18. If match doesnt start by then - abandoned,"
 
21:59 Local Time, 16:29 GMT, 21:59 IST: We can spot the umpires having a chat with the Indian captain in the dressing room. Kohli looks very keen and looks like we will have a chase. Meanwhile, the Aussie players are warming up as the super soppers run around the field.

21:50 Local Time, 16:20 GMT, 21:50 IST: There's quite a bit of water on the covers. Almost half the outfield is still under the blue sheets as the removal process is slow. Two super soppers are ready for action. The crowd still in and very eager for at least a 5-over chase

21:31 Local Time, 16:01 GMT, 21:31 IST: The rain has reduced to a trickle. Could be called into action any time. The crowd remains hopeful. The groundsmen make their entry. "The covers removing process commences now... after a small discussion with the curators. It’s been a sedate start to the covers removing process.
 
22:04 Local Time, 16:34 GMT, 22:04 IST: The stumps have been erected. The Australian bowlers are warming up on the side wicket. Still waiting for the official target and the overs. Warner has a word with the umpire. Debutant Behrendoff is bowling on the practice surface. The super soppars are doing their final bit of cleaning up. A sheet has been handed to Warner by the umpires.


Game to start at 22:15 local time.
