Galle International Stadium: Relentless and stop-start rain since Sunday morning has finally relented to pave the way for play to commence on day two of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka, with action now set to commence at 2:35pm at the Galle International Stadium here on Sunday.
Following a completely washed-out morning session and a delayed afternoon session, bright sunshine broke through the rain and clouds, allowing the ground staff to clear the covers and prepare the playing surface. Initially, the play was to resume at 2:15pm, before a late short spell of rain meant the start time became 2:35pm.
A tea break will be taken from 4pm to 4:20pm, with the final session scheduled to be played from 4:20pm to 5:45pm. Play can also be extended by an additional 30 minutes to maximize overs lost to weather disruptions.
