Its beginning to rain at the Gabba.

Nannes came on to bowl and bailed out of his run up. The rain is really coming down now, and the umpires have called for the covers.

The players race off the field. We shall see what this shower does to the contest. The Bulls need 37 off 24 balls. But the Duckworth/Lewis method may come into affect.

It is still pouring with rain. At present through 16 overs Victoria are 3 runs in front on the D/L Method. The Bulls will be desparate to get back out.

The game has been called off. But a result has not yet been called. The reason is Queensland are challenging John Hastings attempted catch to parry the ball back inside the rope to save five runs in the third over.

Victoria has been declared the winner by three runs on the D/L Method. The Hastings catch didn't not come into calculation. Ross Taylor has ben announced as man of the match for his outstanding 58 off 36 balls. A bizarre and disappointin end.

Rain has robbed the fans of a grandstand finish here at the Gabba in game one of the KFC T20 big bash. The Vics get their campaign off to a winning start. Join us tomorrow as the Redbacks travel to Perth to take on the Warriors.
