Veteran wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik on Sunday informed that the weather is cloudy but there is no rain at the moment in Southampton.
The opening day’s play in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at the Ageas Bowl was called off without a ball being bowled on Friday.
Indian skipper Virat Kohli finished the second day of the summit clash unbeaten on 44 as India and New Zealand went to stumps with the game evenly poised.
Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane put on an unbeaten stand of 58 as India battled to 146/3 when bad light forced an early end to the day, with only 64.4 overs of play possible.
Ahead of the third day, Karthik, who is there for commentary duties shared a picture from the stadium informing that fans need not worry as there is no rain at the moment.
“Another 3.5 hours to go for play to start, so lets not worry too much guys. For now it’s cloudy. But the good part is, there is not rain atm,” Karthik wrote on the photo while sharing it on Twitter.
After a washout on day one, New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl, looking to make the most of the overcast conditions in Southampton.
