The chance of rain during the day is never less than 40% so expect multiple cancellations and delays. It rained heavily during the night and it didn’t clear up in the morning. This may result in a delay in the resumption of play on the second day.
At the time of writing (1:10 PM IST), the cover players are on the pitch, but there are also some encouraging signs of players warming up on the pitch.
