10.28 pm Bad news everyone. I'm afraid the match has been called off. Too much rain and no chance of a restart. It means split points for Dambulla and Jaffna. They both move one point clear of Colombo Kings to turn a three-way tie atop the table into a two-way deadlock on nine points. Tomorrow is an off day. Come back on Wednesday for the next LPL doubleheader starting with Kandy Tuskers against Jaffna Stallions followed by Galle Gladiators against Dambulla Viiking. That's all from us for today. Take care!

9.28 pm False alarm. Sorry folks, it's raining again. Covers back on.

9.13 pm The word from Hambantota is that the rain has stopped and the covers are being removed. So hopefully we will have a resumption before too long.

8.38 pm The umpires are calling for the covers to come out finally as the rain has gotten too thick for play to continue.

Wicket maiden for Hasaranga. Nothing special about the over. Six hittable balls and Samit picked out the ring fielders every time until the final ball. Meanwhile the ground staff is waiting to bring the covers out at any moment. Rain still falling, lightly. Here comes the Jaffna boy, Viyaskanth.

PW Hasaranga to Patel, OUT, fumble before recollecting and completing the stumping. Not Samit Patel's finest moment, nor Johnson Charles either but Charles is able to recover from his initial gaffe spilling a simple chance as Samit walks past a straight ball trying to flick to midwicket. Samit gives up believing he's long gone. Charles luckily spilled it straight in front of off stump and reaches forward to pick up the ball and knock off the bails.
