Commentary

Right. The first match is done and dusted, with rain being the eventual winner. The bad news is that the second ODI also takes place at the same venue and the weather updates for Saturday aren't promising either. Fingers crossed. We have more cricket coming your way as the high-octane India-Australia bilateral series is kickstarting tomorrow. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Bidipto signing off

8:30 PM local time (8:00 PM IST): The inevitable has happened. The umpires had a long wait and finally decided to call it off. New Zealand won't mind this as they didn't live up to the expectation with the bat early on and were reduced to 16-2. Then, the partnership between Young and Nicholls helped them to weather the storm but once the duo negotiated the early phase, they dealt in ones and twos, struggling to pick up the boundaries

After the drinks break, Young upped the ante and brought up his half-century but Nasum's double strike swung the momentum in Bangladesh's favour again. With Litton set to plague the lower order with spin, rain interrupted again and continued to play the hide-and-seek game. After an almost two-hour wait, the umpires decided enough is enough.

The cut-off time for the 20-over match is 8:36 pm IST

Update 7:30 pm IST - The rain has gotten heavier now. It's been a frustrating day so far and with the floodlights being switched off, any further chances of the match resuming look highly unlikely now

The hide-and-seek game continues. It has started raining now and the covers are coming back

The sheets at the outfield are being removed and as I type this, the center cover has been pulled out, so it indicates the rain has stopped for now

Oh no, the rain is back and so are the covers. The intensity is so high and more covers are being brought back to cover the playing area

Huge cheers from the crowd as the covers have been peeled off. The stumps are being erected. The match resumes at 6:30 pm Local Time

Oh wait, the expected guest has arrived again. It's just a passing shower but the covers are being dragged back to the middle to protect the playing surface

33.4 Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Cole McConchie, FOUR RUNS! Short around off-stump. McConchie goes for the pull shot on the back foot but does not middle it. But it takes the top edge and flies away to third man for a boundary!

33.3 Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Tom Blundell, good length ball on the pads. A miss of the flick to deep square-leg but they get a leg-bye behind square on the on-side.

33.2 Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Tom Blundell, good length ball on off-and-middle. Defended back to the bowler on the back foot solidly.

33.1 Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Cole McConchie, over the wicket, OH! Good length ball on off-and-middle that bounces more! It takes the shoulder of the blade and runs down to short fine-leg for one.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib [5-0-20-0] comes back into the attack
