14:35 Local Time, 12:35 GMT, 18:05 IST: So, persistent rain has had the final say and the match has been called off. Not the start to the series both sides would have wanted but that's the way it is. Do join us for the second ODI day after tomorrow from the same venue. There’s rain forecasted on Friday as well but let’s keep our fingers crossed! Until then, goodbye and cheers!

13:10 Local Time, 11:10 GMT, 16:40 IST: Things are looking a touch brighter but make no mistake, it's still very gloomy and overcast. Doesn't seem to be raining at the minute but there seems to be what looks like a minor river flowing across the outfield. Hard to imagine play is going to restart.
