outside off-stump, Carty leans onto the front foot and lets the ball go
Knights vs Reds, 10th Match at Dublin, INTER PRO, May 27 2021 - Match Result
The rain has just got too heavy there and so the Umpires have decided to bring the players off.
Still need to get another 3 overs in to make the game official. Will let you know when anything changes!
Match State: Delay - Rain
4:40pm Sadly the rain has kept falling over the last 20 minutes. It's not actually that heavy, just doesn't look like it wants to stop any time soon! The groundstaff are just starting to bring the sheets out to cover the square.
Looking at the radar, it might take a while for the rain to blow through. We still only need to get another three overs in to have an official game.
We still have the best part of two hours to get back out there and bowl them. If the Reds don't lose any more wickets, they will need to be on 97 to win the game.
5:20pm The bad news is that it's still raining out there, it's not heavy, the groundstaff are still out in the middle standing next to the covers. Players are milling around the ground as well.
The rain just needs to stop! If it does it won't take long for the players to get back out there again.
The Umpires have confirmed that to fit the three overs in to get to 20, we have to get going again by 6:51pm. That's still 90 minutes away. Keep your fingers-crossed...
6:00pm It's still raining. Not much else to add on that I'm afraid....
6:10pm The Umpires have been out and had a look at the ground. If the covers aren't off by 6:25pm, then the ground isn't going to be able to dry in time.
6:40pm It's bad news I'm afraid. The rain had stopped but there isn't any chance that the ground is going to be able to dry in the time that we have left. Game Abandoned!
All they needed was another 10 minutes before the rain came, sadly it wasn't to be. Both teams pick up 2 points and stay in the lower half of the table.
The Interpro's take a break for a couple of weeks as Ireland travel to the Netherlands to play some important ODI Super Leagues games.
Thanks for following along with me today, this is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Pembroke.
works the ball off the pads, long leg runs in to keep them to a single
steps forward and hits the ball out to deep point
slower ball from Foster, onto the front foot and hits the ball to mid-off
Match State: Drinks
The drinks break has been taken after the fall of the wicket, sadly the rain seems to be falling heavier too. Groundstaff asre hoovering around the covers...
that's a brilliant catch from Rock. Moor gets drawn into playing at the ball, it takes the outside edge. Rock has to dive to his right and goes up with his wrong hand to catch the ball.
full ball, Morr bring the bat down quickly and digs the ball out
Reds are now ahead of where they need to be at 20 overs for DLS, not that we want the rain to come....
stands up tall in the crease and defends the ball back down the pitch
clips the ball into the on-side, deep mid-wicket runs in to field.
too much room outside off-stump, cuts the ball through backward point and perfectly splits the two fielders in the deep
defends into the legside
bang, that ball is gone! Moor uses the pace of the delivery to slam the ball towards the point boundary. Fielder doesn't even have time to move in the deep
plants the front foot and lets the ball swing further away outside off
Adair changing ends here
looks to pull the ball into the legside, the delivery keeps a little low and Commins is hit on the pad. Only a half-appeal from the bowler
reaches forward again and plays the ball back to the bowler
Beaten this time outside off
looks to thick edge the ball down to third man, ends up playing inside the line
full ball, driven to extra cover
swings the ball down the legside, far too may wides for the Knights today
reaches a long way in front fo his body and plays the ball to mid-off
Lovely timing from Moor. It's outside off-stump, cuts the ball sweetly through backward point and it races away to the boundary
