If they'd sent a few extra covers from the other grounds to HSC before the game, so they can cover the whole ground?

Or that.

TV coverage just resumed... the grounds looks absolutely soaked. Light rain at the moment; but the wet outfield will be the big problem.

Lots of water on the pitch covers.

Guys its mid-day in Zimbabwe. There is more than enough time to get the game going again. In fact we wouldn't even be on the field right now anyway. It would have been the innings break. We will get a game. We just need to relax. It's rare that you get heavy rain all day in Harare. It will stop within the hour. Some parts of Harare have not even seen a drop yet. We won't get 50 overs but we will get a game

They just said on commentary that when the rain stops it will take 1 hour to prepare the ground.

And the rain hasn't stopped yet.

And we only need about 90 minutes to get 20 overs. Cut off time is like 4pm I think. There is more than enough time. The covers will come off son judging by Liams picture. It will stop just now

What would our 20 over target be?

140-ish?
