🏏West Indies vs India, 2nd Test: Queen's Park Oval -- Thread #2🏏 - Page 31

11.50am The word is that all covers are off, and teams are not yet at the ground. Lunch in ten minutes.

Gagan: "Lunch? The covers are finally off and there is no rain, and they will go off for lunch? Am I the only one who finds this bizarre?" --- Given the pounding that the ground must have taken after the amount of rain, it will take a while to dry things up too.

12:00 Local Time, 16:00 GMT, 21:30 IST: Lunch would have been taken now had the game started on time. It's safe to say that the first session has been washed out.
