Powerplay 2! Sri Lanka can now have four fielders outside the inner ring till the 40th over. With a bit of help from the surface, the Lankan spinners will look to dominate the middle overs.

We are all set to resume! The players are out in the middle already. Mark Chapman ​​​​Will Young to continue the batting for New Zealand. Maheesh Theekshana to start proceedings with the ball. Here we go...
Good news folks! The rain has stopped now and all the covers are off. The ground staff have done an amazing job to prepare the ground so quickly and no overs have been lost. The resumption time is 10.15 am GMT.
UPDATE - 10.06 am GMT - The covers are still firmly on and almost the whole ground is covered. It is still raining in Kandy but there are a few blue spots in the sky which gives us hope that we can see some action soon. Stick with us for more news.
Oh..no! The drizzle has picked up pace and the umpires have given the marching orders to the players now. It has gone dark pretty quickly but the rain is still not that heavy and we are hoping that it is just a passing shower. Stay tuned for further updates.
