The series should have been concluded in the Cape. The weather in Gauteng is predictably awful now. Such a pity

Should have played a day like they did for newlands. Would have been fine then.

Wicket's a bit damp - not sure how much of a delay it's going to cause.

How did the wicket get damp? Not covered probably?
How East London got games for 2027 WC still remains a mystery...

Did the covers have holes in them . Only other international game I recall scenes like this was West Indies when the covers had holes.

And here I was hopeful that we might get a decent game in EL. My part of Gauteng is teaming with rain and was so glad they were playing elsewhere than anywhere in or around Gauteng. Come on, weather. Let's have a good game for our ladies, lol.

Game reduced to 47.

Ireland won the toss and will bat.

 

[stefan9]

Ireland 153/5 after 37

 

[stefan9]

209/7 is the end.
SA will need 2010

 

[stefan9]

Hmm I don't think that is out.
Third smoking some good stuff.
Laura gone for 31...
