punched on the front foot, out to deep cover... that rain is still very steady...
N S-Chargers vs Rockets, Eliminator at London, Men's Hundred, Aug 30 2025 - Live Cricket Score
7.05pm Rain stopped play. Having said that, enough's enough now. The conditions are just too grim, and the umpires have called them off. On come the covers, and who knows how long this delay will be now.
"Boos from the ground, but definitely heavier," says Matt Roller.
DaWolf: "Rain is an issue but the spectators are there to see a game. I'd rather something a little miserable but getting on with it. than see them go off. Obviously depends just how heavy it gets." Yes, if they go off now, there's no knowing when they'll get back on

Graham Clark emerges with Rockets feeling slightly happier about life
Manoj: "Why rehan is not coming to bowl? " It's so wet, tough to grip for the legspinner
makes room to leg, loses his middle stump! Brook gave himself too much room in the end, as Stoinis held his line and length, to end an all-too-brief cameo!
short, wide of off, zips through... no wide given, though it was tight!
full toss on off stump, dispatched over fine leg! Brook tumbles across his crease, lays bat on ball as he does so, and lifts it up and over the inner ring
On we go... it's still just drizzle... but there's heavier weather lurking
Willey is deeply unhappy with umpire Middlebrook. These are soggy conditions
on the back foot, guided out to point
blazing drive! Lawrence skips to the pitch, opens the face of his blade and laser-guides the ball through extra cover
deep in the crease, flicked to wide long-on
George : "This rain was forecast days out, could they not have brought the whole day forward and started at 11am? Made the announcement yesterday morning or sooner to give notice. Probably far too logical" Far too logical!
lots of air, into the legs, clipped to deep square
round the wicket, full length, into the toes, clipped to the leg side
Time for spin... and not an easy time to have to bowl it. It's mizzly out there
steps across the stumps, nudges a couple off the pads past midwicket. Willey's work is done, and it's been a fine effort from him
The rain is getting heavier
fuller length, Brook makes room to leg and taps the single out to point
tries to give Willey the charge, and is met with a fierce bouncer! Straight at the lid as Brook takes late evasive action
solid contact off the toes, but finds Ferguson in the deep! Super take, running in from wide long-on. Priceless intervention in Willey's final set
pumped on the up, gloriously over long-off! Transferred his weight into the fuller length, and pings it over the ropes
Willey returns in a bid to break this stand
Pete: "Anyone remember the bizarre Dan Christian runner situation at T20 finals day in 2010?" Indeed I do!
another attempted launch across the fuller length, thuds the pads
slower ball, good option against a man with limited foot movement. Malan swings loosely and can't connect outside off
dragged from back of a length, outside off, out to deep midwicket
low full toss, thumped through the line to long-off
stand and deliver from Malan, his feet might not be moving well, but his hand-eye coordination fairly pings that out to deep cover
