Weather Gods hamper cricket in Pallekelle



Sri Lankan spectators shelter under umbrellas as they look at the covered playing area of The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele, during a downpour. Rain delayed the start of play on the third day of the third and final Test between Sri Lanka and the West Indies. AFP

Bad weather continued to plague the third Test between Sri Lanka and the West Indies as the third days play was completely washed out without a ball been bowled at the newly constructed Pallekelle International Stadium in Kandy yesterday. The West Indies were set to resume their first innings on 244 for five with Brendan Nash on 62 and Carlton Baugh on 0 at the crease.

However overnight rain coupled with incessant drizzle in the morning meant that the covers were left on past the scheduled start of play.

The two umpires Asad Rauf and Bruce Oxenford along with the match referee Alan Hurst eventually decided to call off the game at 2.45 p.m. The first two days in Pallekele which is hosting a Test match for the first time - were also curtailed due to the bad weather with only 81 overs possible in all.

Play on the fourth day of the Test match will resume at 9.45 a.m today weather permitting.
