Fans and spectators hope that rain does not start again.
Rain has stopped but the covers are still there.
Early lunch has taken and if everything goes right, match will resume at 7:25 IST.
It appeared that rain has stopped as the covers were coming off but after a sudden burst the ground staff ran in with more covers.
