7:56pm. Match abandoned! The rains in Leeds are simply too strong and persistent and this one is a washout. A shame, particularly for Superchargers who were going along nicely. We go again tomorrow!
7:34pm: Puddles on the outfield I'm afraid. Simon Doull says the ground can't take too much water given how saturated the outfield was this time yesterday. We need to get on by 9:08pm for a 25-ball game...
A shower out of nowhere! The covers are coming on, and players and officials are marching off. It doesn't look too heavy but the clouds above are looking ominous...
