UPDATE 10.54 pm IST (5.24 pm GMT) - Good news! The covers are coming off and the rain has subsided. We should hear news of a resumption pretty soon. Stay tuned. We do get some updates from the ground and it is confirmed that India will not bat out the remaining 3 balls with play set to resume at 11.10 pm IST (5.40 pm GMT). It will also be a 15-over chase for South Africa.
As the wait continues for the rain to stop, let's recap the first innings. Aiden Markram put India into bat under overcast conditions and it started off brilliantly for the Proteas as they picked up both Indian openers, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck each. Then came the fightback from Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav before the latter too got out in the final over of the Powerplay. With South Africa a wicket or two away from breaking the back of the Indian middle order, Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh put on a quickfire 70-run stand and both brought up their individual fifties in the process. The spinners bowled well for the hosts and it was Tabraiz Shamsi who broke the vital stand. The pacers went for a bit of stick and Rinku Singh capitalized in the death overs. Just before the halt in play though, Gerald Coetzee picked up a couple of wickets in consecutive deliveries but India will be the happier of the two sides, having put on 180 runs.
UPDATE 10.35 pm IST (5.05 pm GMT) - There isn't any further update from the ground as it is still raining in Gqeberha. All we can do is wait and hope for the rain to subside. In all likeliness, when the play resumes, if the play resumes, the Indian innings won't resume and the chase might get underway straightaway. Stay tuned as we bring you the latest updates.
Mohammed Siraj walks out to bat as the rain starts to fall down. Oh, dear! The rain has just gotten heavier and the umpires are forced to bring play to a halt. With just three balls left, the umpires tried to get on with proceedings but they also have to keep the pitch in mind and with the rain almost pelting down, they had to go off. Hopefully, this is just a passing shower and play resumes soon. Stick around for further updates.
