ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, India vs England semi-final, Live: Toss delayed due to wet outfield

Chuck that previous update. RAIN IS BACK. It is that kind of a day at the Providence Stadium.

PITCH REPORT: “The covers have done their job, pitch looks dry. There are cracks. Spinners will have the ball go low and skid in. Stats suggest that the average score is 167 and there’s an even split on batting first vs chasing. So, the captain’s preference will matter. It’s a low, skiddy pitch which tends to favour the spinners. This is an incredibly fast-drying outfield, drains well, groundstaff do a good job.”

Some good news now. THE COVERS ARE COMING OFF.

Live visuals show the rain has stopped. The wait now is for a playable outfield.
