Hello all, we have a disappointing news at the outset. Persistent rain has again played a cruel hand as it has rendered the start impossible and the match has been called off, as it ends in a draw. Only 48 overs have been possible, then in this match. India, would go into the First Test at Melbourne on the boxing day, short of match practice. Make sure you join us for the coverage of the first test.
04:25 GMT For the second day in succession, Rain has played a havoc with the proceedings, with only 10 overs being bowled. Ground has got lot of puddles , which would take some time to clear.
Be sure to join us for tomorrow's play at 11:30 PM GMT The play has been called off for some time to come as Rain has started pelting hard again
