Early lunch will be taken at 12.30.
It has stopped raining and the covers have been taken off.
Let's hope they use the lunch break to dry out the field and the rain stays away.

The inevitable has happened. Just too much dampness and that has forced
the umpires to abandon play on Day 2.

Holder is looking extremely uncomfortable. He isn't bowling full-tilt. Momentum isn't going forward fully. Now the umpires are having a chat, Rizwan goes up to see what the issue is. Brathwaite too is having a chat with the officials. Blackwood is listening in. That damp patch is the issue. They are deliberating.
Match referee Richie Richardson is making his way out to the middle.
75.2
Holder to Faheem, short of length delivery angling away, jabbed away from the crease
75.1
Holder to Faheem, no run slants one across the left-hander, left alone
