The umpires are having a chat, and the players are coming off as the rain continues to fall. The outlook isn't great but more news for you as we get it.

The rains coming down hard now and the umpires and players are pessimistic about the chances of any more play. If this match is called off today, it will be replayed from scratch on the rest day on Monday 16th August.

Looks like the rain is easing a little now, but the outfield is very damp and muddy. The umpires are going out to the square for a little look. I'm sorry to inform you all that the rain is still coming down pretty hard, and there will be no play soon, maybe a few overs later this afternoon but it looks doubtful.

The latest we can start for a game is 5:15pm local time, but the rains still falling and parts of the outfield are turning to mud, I think things will be called off shortly, just waiting for confirmation from the umpires.

That's it. Play has been called off for the day and there is no result. The rest day on Monday will now be a replay for this game where Nepal and USA will try again at Pianoro. Do join us then, and tomorrow where we will be bringing you Cricinfo's unrivalled coverage of this WCL Division 4.

For now, from a very wet Italy, it's goodbye from Callum Stewart, and we hope you log on to Cricinfo soon.
