The big cover still remains, the rain has definitely stopped though and we should have a restart soon. The 4th umpire has taken charge, the areas around the covers are being dried and once it’s done, they’ll probably start removing the big sheets covering the pitch. Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli are back into the dug-out and that’s a positive sign.
