Umpires having a chat now, must be about the light
light offered to the batsmen, they accept it and walk away
no improvement in the conditions and the umpires have decided to
call of the day's play
to make up for the time lost play will start half and hour early
tomorrow (at 7:30 GMT)
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the third day's play
We have an early start today to make up for the time lost yesterday
West Indies trail by 496 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st
innings
Partly cloudy. High 87F. Winds NE at 10 to 15 mph is the weather
forecast for the day
Unbelievable it may seem but the start is delayed because one of
the practice balls rolled under the roller and it was pressed into
the track and it has made a hole in the good length area
ground staffs are now trying to repair the pitch!
Match State: Delay - Day 3 - Pitch under repair
Update (9:26 GMT) - the pitch has been repaired and play will start
soon
players are back in the middle and we are all set for the star
Gayle will take strike, Blignaut has two more balls left in the
over
bit overcast now!
