Who is happier with the rain?

11.45am
What else can we do but pontificate as it continues to rain? Whom does the rain suit more? I think as of now it suits England more because we have seen rain and overcast skies have conditions worse for the batters. But if it gets into the category where India don't have to worry about a defeat and can still get a shot at the target, that scenario will worry England because this is a quick-scoring ground and India have Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja who can be promoted to bat in a nothing-to-lose scenario.
An on-and-off scenario can go either way. You could get two 20-minute sessions in which the batters don't get any rhythm and two of them get out or you could get two 20-minute sessions in which bowlers don't get into any rhythm and build-ups for a wicket and India score 35 runs. A lot of possibilities. Don't go anywhere.

Wet start

10.45am
Dampener for all those who couldn't sleep last night with anticipation. It is raining, and the forecast is iffy. I am optimistic we can get enough cricket for a result. Fingers crossed. But as of now it is raining. Stay tuned for updates.
