edges the ball down the legside and short fine leg runs across to field
Reds vs Warriors, 7th Match at Bready, INTER-PRO T20, Jul 14 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary
The Umpires comes together to talk again and this time they do decide to take the players from the field. It has been raining heavily for the past 10 minutes and it doesn't look like it's going to be stopping any time soon...
Match State: Delay - Rain
The Warriors will be disappointed that the weather has come in to stop what's been an excellent bowling display so far. With only Murray Commins in double figures for the Reds, it's not been the best of batting displays from the men from Munster.
There is a strong breeze blowing across the ground, so lets hope that these rain clouds depart quickly and there isn't more rain behind it. Will keep you updated!
1:40pm Bad news i'm afraid, it's still raining and has been for the last 90 minutes or so. The Umpires have decided that there is no chance of even getting 5 overs in, so the game has been abandoned.
It's two points each for the teams. Let's hope that the weather improves tomorrow when both teams return to the ground. Let's hope that weather improves for the second game today too.
Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye for now from a very wet Bready.
