🏏West Indies vs India, 2nd Test: Queen's Park Oval -- Thread #2🏏 - Page 32

12:22 Local Time, 16:22 GMT, 21:52 IST: Play to start at 13:15 Local Time (22:45 IST). 67 overs to be bowled. Let's hope that the weather stays clear.

12.30pm Good news y'all. We have a resumption time: 1.15pm. That's 10.45pm in India. The West Indies team is at the ground, and India have just arrived too. Let's go. So we get a possible 67 overs depending on over-rate and light.

Keshav: "It would be exciting to see Windies' approach, whether they will come all guns blazing or block everything."

Evildricks: "@Keshav, I don't think Windies will attack at all. They were already blocking everything from Day 2 and now they have to score 289 in 67 overs on a Day 5 pitch."

"baffling that match cannot start immediately after lunch and teams were not at the stadium, seems sense of urgency is missing in all camps. " Kunal, this statement is not accurate. The ground has taken a lot of overnight rain, and it needed time once the rain stopped. They are Test teams. They want to win matches more than you and I. And they are bound by laws and playing conditions. If they don't show up when the ground is ready, they forfeit the match.

13:05 Local Time, 17:05 GMT, 22:35 IST: Second session: 13:15 to 15:15 | Tea - 15:15 to 15:35 | Final session - 15:35 - 17:30.

1.05pm The preparations are on, the teams are training, but there is a grey cloud around. The ground staff have put on three covers around the pitch, which continues to be rolled. This is purely precautionary. Almost as if to jinx the rain. And that's why we are publishing this update.

Still some good news for India during that warm-up. Shardul Thakur, who was left out with a groin niggle, bowled full pelt on the adjacent pitch with a white ball during that little warm-up session.

1.06pm But the jinx hasn't worked. The rain has returned, y'all. One of those days at the cricket. Players going back in.
