Not what fans will be hoping for as the floodlights are already on and the game delay is likely to be extended for at least 30 more mins now. The weather forecast is also not very encouraging.

The cloudy conditions, delay in toss, and wet pitch all hint at the possibility of game getting shortened. The drizzle hasn't subsided so are the covers still on the pitch. The delay is likely to get extended.

Its all happening in the ICC Champions Trophy right now. The conditions are pretty gloomy. It seems like there's a slight drizzle around in Rawalpindi with the pitch and the square is under covers. There also doesn't seem to be much wind blowing across the stadium which might lengthen the wait.
