9:30: It’s not raining at the moment and the groundsmen are peeling the covers off. But we will have a delayed start because of the water collected from overnight rain. There are a few puddles near the boundary.

09:15: Rain played a major role on day 1 as only 36.3 overs of play were possible. The forecast looks similar for day 2 with the ground under covers and rain predicted throughout the day. It was the Lankan skipper, Karunaratne who played a crucial knock, just like he did in the first game. And he is just a single away from completing his fifty. Will he get there quickly on a gloomy morning or will he have to wait for it? All our questions will be answered in a bit, stay tuned for the weather and other updates…

17:18 Local Time, 11:48 GMT, 17:18 IST: And stumps officially called. This was coming. Credit to the groundsmen for actually making 36.3 overs possible after the kind of morning we had with the amount of rain and water on the covers. The first session was washed out after which Karunaratne chose to bat and led from the front. Thirimanne departed early but Kusal Mendis gave that positive push. However, he nicked off to CDG after looking good and then the natural light faded. No artificial lights at this venue. So the game will start at 09:45 local time for the rest of the days. But the weather forecast isn’t great for tomorrow as well. See you all fresh in the morning. Fingers crossed!

17:03 Local Time, 11:33 GMT, 17:03 IST: Oxenford and Gough together now. We are going off. Karunaratne flicks the bails off with his bat to help the ump. Now they are taking a reading, which will be the benchmark for the rest of the game. Tough to see the light improving soon with the clouds around.

36.2

de Grandhomme to Karunaratne, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Karunaratne guides it to deep backward point

The light isn’t that great. The umps were getting fidgety around 5PM at Galle.
