Yep.. that call by Stirling at the toss - total brainfart
He made the call thinking the rain would fall, the match would be interrupted and they would have a favorable chase. Normal approach by captains. Just did not think WI would make 350+ and rain would washout the proceedings.

There is some movement on the field, with some soppers on. Maybe it's some positive news. And maybe Rvel will bring some luck with him as he takes over the comms box.

It is looking much brighter indeed compared to the gloom we have had in the last couple of hours. It is still overcast though which makes it a little disconcerting. But we will see the glass half full rather than half empty. And hopefully will have some positive news very soon.
