13:15 Local Time, 17:15 GMT, 22:45 IST: "Slight drizzle," says Samuel Badree on air. Rohit Sharma is seen signing autographs. In fact, it has stopped raining. And the groundsmen have started to remove the covers.
13:33 Local Time, 17:33 GMT, 23:03 IST: "The covers are off as the drizzle stops! Play to begin at 13.40 Local Time (11.10 PM IST) - if there's no further rain," is the latest tweet (should we call it X?) from BCCI.

13:42 Local Time, 17:42 GMT, 23:12 IST: Argghhhhhh! The covers are back on. What frustration this is. The covers are on as a result of a huge cloud coming over. It's a precautionary move as the groundstaff expect rain to come. We can only twiddle our thumbs and wait.
13:49 Local Time, 17:49 GMT, 23:19 IST: Here is the tweet from TOI which confirms my previous update: Update - More delay! No rain but a massive cloud is coming over. The pitch has been covered yet again.
