Welcome to North County Cricket Club in an overcast Dublin. Althought it is not raining at the moment that toss has been delayed because of a wet outfield. This is Conor Hayes here by the way and I have news that there will be an inspection at 11.15 so hopefully I will have some good news for you then. The word from the inspection is that it's still wet out there and they are going to have a look at it again in one hour. So it will be after 12.15 before we here anything. The news is not good I'm afraid as they will wait until 1.15 to inspect again. Lunch will also be taken at that time and hopefully we can start once that's finished. It appears we will finally have some cricket. Play will begin at 2.30 and it will be a 35 over a side game. Canada have won the toss and have elected to bat.
