17:24 Local Time, 16:24 GMT, 21:54 IST: Alas, the inevitable has happened. The game has been called off. The score remains 1-0 in favour of Ireland. West Indies showed up with the bat today unlike the first game. They were put into bat and after a scratchy start their middle order came into the fore especially Keacy Carty and Matthew Forde. The duo were the main contributors and because of their knocks the visitors went onto post a 350+ total. It was a total that seemed to get them level in the series but the rain arrived and foiled their plans. The drizzle was persistent and never gave the groundstaff a chance. We head into the final ODI with Ireland having a great chance to win their first series at home since 2019. Join us for that game on Sunday. Until then, goodbye and stay safe..

17:20 Local Time, 16:20 GMT, 21:50 IST: The umpires had a chat with one of the ground official and have made their way back. They shook hands with that official before heading off. Is it a sign? Now they are at the sidelines. Few more shake of the hands with the umpires. Striling and Hope getting together now. We will know soon.

17:12 Local Time, 16:12 GMT, 21:42 IST: The umbrella is missing despite the official standing besides the 22 yards. It means only one thing. No rain now. The Super Soppers at it again. They are moving in circles across the length and breadth of the ground. So much water must have accumulated at various places. Hence, this is going to be tough. We still have time to go for the cut-off period.

And now the super soppers have vanished from the scene. This game of hide and seek refusing to stop.

17:01 Local Time, 16:01 GMT, 21:31 IST: It is looking much brighter indeed compared to the gloom we have had in the last couple of hours. It is still overcast though which makes it a little disconcerting. But we will see the glass half full rather than half empty. And hopefully will have some positive news very soon.

16:53 Local Time, 15:53 GMT, 21:23 IST: Another super sopper has come in. It is doing rounds. And can spot one official with his umbrella venturing out to have a look. We will consider this as positive news.

16:49 Local Time, 15:49 GMT, 21:19 IST: Can spot a super sopper doing rounds over the sheets. I guess puddles have been created over the sheets. The rain hasn't stopped though. But keep your spirits high as the super sopper working out there means they have hope and we will cling to every straw possible.

16:30 Local Time, 15:30 GMT, 21:00 IST: The covers are firmly put. The drizzle is on. The wait is on. Grab some coffee. Put your feet up and relax.

15:42 Local Time, 14:42 GMT, 20:12 IST: Nothing much to update. The rain continues to fall and the covers are firmly in place.

15:05 Local Time, 14:05 GMT, 19:35 IST: Not great news. It is still raining and the pitch is under covers. More covers are coming on now.. "It is not heavy. But it is coming down. Enough to prevent the start," says the on air comm.
