We may have a delay for the start of the second innings. The rain might just juice the track up a little and the Mumbai Indians seamers won't mind that at all. They have a good score to defend. Kolkata chased down 169 with no hassles yesterday, but let's see how this pans out. Excellent knock by Pollard and a very good start for Kanwar in his opening game for this team. Join us in a bit. We'll keep you updated about the weather. The covers are on for now, and I saw a couple of umbrellas out in the Mumbai dug out. Siddarth Ravindran's bulletin will be updated in a short while.
