12.40pm After so much rain, the game is called off. It continues pouring down considerably, and as a result, the teams share the points. They get a point each from their opening match of the season. But the action at the CPL isn't yet done for today, as GAW face SLK in the day's evening match. Until then, see you and take care!

12.25pm We are just seeing that it's raining again, and the covers are back in place. It looks like heavy rain, even if it's windy at the moment. And in a flash, it has suddenly gotten bright.

11.34am So we can wait until 1.27pm for a five-over match. That is almost two hours from now. And the broadcast shows that though it's dry at the moment, the next official update will be at 12.40pm, which is an hour away.

"Would like to know when we start losing overs..." --- We don't have an update on that yet, Imran. We'll provide one as soon we get it

11.25am Live pictures show the umpires walking out for inspection. There is still a puddle in the right-hander's deep midwicket region from one of the ends. The super sopper, which had gone home for a while, is invited again. More wait for us.

But even as rain takes its rounds in Gros Islet, there's a whole bunch of live matches which you can run through: UAE are hosting New Zealand, the Hundred is happening in England, the LPL is taking place in Sri Lanka, and the Maharaja Trophy is being held in the Indian state of Karnataka.

11.10am So the news is that all covers are taken off. We are getting closer to a restart. The next official update is at 11.30am.

10.44am The main cover is taken off, and almost the entire outfield is also free of covers right now. A bit of sunshine is peeping in as well, and we could resume soon.

10.34am There's some good news: rain has stopped. But because it was a heavy spell, there are quite a few damp patches on the field. But the super sopper is ready, even as things just slightly seems to have become brighter.

10.25am In some unwanted news, rain has got heavier at the Daren Sammy Stadium. It looks gloomy all around, in a hint that this could be a long wait. The super sopper is at work already, with wet patches forming on the outfield.

"TKR playing with only 1 overseas player" --- Excellent observation, Anish. It's almost an achievement to play only one foreigner in the days when teams are so perplexed as to how to best fill the four available slots

10.21am And, and... here comes the rain. The ground staff hurriedly places the cover on the pitch and the outfield, and the players head off. But it's very windy too, as one of the umpires struggles to keep the umbrella on his head.

Muzarabani to Walton, 1 wide, length ball landing on leg, and angling down further. He shoulders arms to let that go

Cottrell to Walton, 1 run, the cover fielder dives to his right but doesn't get a hand, as the ball goes wide of mid-off. Very full length ball on off, and driven down by Walton to get off the mark

Cottrell to Walton, no run, good length ball on off, and tucked down on the off side

Cottrell to Guptill, OUT, cleans him up! Here comes the salute. Looking at it in real time almost gave the impression that Guptill almost knew where the ball was going the moment he missed it. On the fuller side of a length on off, and angled across the right-hander. But the ball straightens after pitching, and goes between his bat and pad as he looks to play a push-drive towards cover

MJ Guptill b Cottrell 11 (15b 2x4 0x6) SR: 73.33

He runs in to bowl, but loses the ball as his hand hits his pants

Cottrell to Guptill, FOUR, helped behind the wicket on the leg side. On a length on his pads, and he closes the bat face to turn that away and past the keeper's left for four

Eric: "Been quite a poor year for the Knight Riders franchise as a whole, hopefully TKR can turn it around!"

Cottrell to Guptill, 1 wide, another wide, though this is close. Short and just outside leg, as he looked to pull and missed
