The crowd has stayed patient and they'll get to watch some cricket now. The players are out in the middle and we're set for start of Match 15
Not ideal conditions, but the groundsmen have done an excellent job. It's a big tacky and there should be some moisture, no wonder Asalanka opted to bowl first. But the ball will get wet if it goes to the outfield and it should be a high scoring game, reckons Farveez Maharoof, in his pitch report
Two bowlers can bowl two overs each, rest can bowl 1 each.
Wanindu Hasaranga - We have a few changes as well, would have batted first if I had won the toss, so the toss doesn't matter
Charith Asalanka - We will bowl because it's short enough. We have a few changes
Jaffna Kings have won the toss and have opted to field
Live pictures and all the covers have been removed. We should have the toss shortly..
21:20 Local Time, 15:50 GMT: Better news, we'll have the toss at 10 pm with the first ball to be bowled at 10:15 pm weather permitting. Not sure of the number of overs, but reckon it could be around 6-7
21:00 Local Time, 15:30 GMT: Most covers have come off and the pitch is uncovered too. This is looking much better now. Still about an hour and half away from cut-off time
20:43 Local Time, 15:13 GMT: Rain has eased and the covers are slowly being peeled off.
