It's a breezy shower coming sideways and it's pouring pretty hard. The ground-staff were quick to bring the covers on,

Need five overs for a match

In reply to Chrissy

they're running back to get some more sheets, this rain has come out of nowhere, just as West Indies were beginning to fight back. We need 3 more overs for a full match to be constituted.

10:45pm Lots of questions about what happens if this game is washed out.
If that happens, South Africa will go through and will finish at the top of Group 2, with England qualifying as the second-placed side.
And for what it is worth, it is still pelting down.

Will we ever get those 3 overs in?
If rather us lose the conventional way than via rain interrupted play.

In reply to ChrissyWhat is the DL Lewis par score at 5 overs?

We need 5 overs to constitute a match, in case of a NR, South Africa will go through as group winners and West Indies will be eliminated. It's a strong shower, but the hosts will hope that it goes off soon.

We need to start the match latest by 12:38 am (that's for a 5-over game). We'll start losing overs at 11:21 pm. A puddle has been formed and that needs to be dried up,
