That's it for today. This is Ishan signing off with my co-commentator Ayan along with our scorer/analyst Manish. We will be back with all the live updates. Until next time, Good Bye from our side, Take Care!!
22.26 IST: Bad news, the match has been abandoned due to constant pouring, here at Holkar stadium Indore. India Legends were invited to bat first by New Zealand Legends after they won the toss. The openers Naman Ojha and Sachin Tendulkar gave them a decent start as the duo added 32 runs (in 3.5 overs) for the opening wicket before Ojha was dismissed by Shane Bond. Suresh Raina who came at number three hit a six in his innings of 9* (including a dropped catch). Sachin, on the other hand, was also looking in a great touch (19* off 13 balls). India were 49/1 after 5.5 overs but then the uninvited rain came at around 20.00 IST. Initially, it seemed like it was just a shower and a light drizzle that will pass soon but unfortunately it got heavier. Moreover, the heavy downpour dampened the outfield to such an extent that forced the officials to abandon the match after about two hours of wait.
Live pictures show Sachin Tendulkar walking with the umpires. It seems there are some wet spots in the outfield that they are worried about.
22:15 IST: The covers are back on the pitch, but there is no rain at the moment.
21:09 IST: It has stopped raining at Indore. The covers are coming off slowly.
20:50 IST: It's still raining in Indore. The whole ground is covered and there is a lot of water in the puddle the covers. Further chances of play look extremely unlikely although we shall wait for more updates from the venue. Stay tuned to our network for more updates.
20.20 IST: The rain is super heavy and the outfield is in very bad shape at the moment.
20:15 IST: The rain seems pretty heavy not a good sign for now.
Ishan: Drizzling has started here, oh no, the covers are coming now. The players are getting back in the dressing room hope it is just a short delay.
5.6 H Bennett to S Raina
WD WIDE! Back of a length going further away outside off beyond the tram line. The umpire stretches his arms out to signal wide.
5.5 H Bennett to S Tendulkar
1 Fuller length angling in, Tendulkar flicks it away towards square leg for a single.
5.4 H Bennett to S Raina
1 Fuller length around off, Raina drives on the up towards mid-off for a single.
5.3 H Bennett to S Raina
0 Back of a length around off, Raina plays forward and gets beaten on the edge through to the keeper.
5.2 H Bennett to S Tendulkar
1lb Good length angling in, Tendulkar goes across and looks to tuck it away. It hits his pads to go away for a leg bye towards the fine leg region.
Dropped! James Franklin has dropped a sitter at mid-on I wonder how costly it will be.
5.1 H Bennett to S Raina
1 Bennett comes into the attack and will bowl the final over of the powerplay. Short of a length here, Raina uppishly hits it as the ball goes straight up in the air, Franklin is underneath it and puts it down. A dolly here as Raina gets a life here.
Over to Ayan now for the next five overs.
