Update: If not weather now, conditions could result in this game being abandoned. Remember, it is upto umpires to deem the ground fit for play. Injury to players is one of the major factor when the ground is wet. Also umpires will have an eye on forecast as well, which doesn't look good.

Update: There is some patch which is badly affected by rain and that appears to be the main concern for the umpires. Is it that bad to affect the start of play? We will find out soon.

Update: Umpire inspection is underway. It is brighter than before and umpires meanwhile are discussing something with the groundsman. Fingers crossed!
