We are ready for the match to begin
Update 19:27 IST: Asad Rauf has said that they will start at 19:35 local time with no reduction of overs and no D/L rule. So we have a full game and we should start in a few minutes
It looks like the lights are slowly coming on but they will take some time getting to full effect. We still do not have any confirmation yet. Stay connected...
Sensational Update: We have just got a sensational news. 89 for 5 is the score that Kolkata require at 16.4 overs to tie the game. So if the lights are not up in time, then we have a tie and more drama!!!
Oops a little bit of drama there. The lights have gone off. One of the poles has completely gone off. We have a slight hold up here!!! The players are walking off and lets see how long do we have to wait for the lights to be back on
