yes.

Raining in Kiwiland as well, where Sri Lanka and NZ are opening proceedings.

Snoozers off to a flyer here in what looked like being tricky batting conditions.

Aye, great start from Mukka & Guppy. The Sheep were going at 8 rpo, but the Lankans have pulled it back to under 6. Snoozies look good for 300+ though.

Williamson profited from a couple of drops, including one from the first ball he faced.

Malinga is unsurprisingly overweight having not played for 5 months and is struggling with line and length.

Yes Malinga looks out of condition. Williamson went out to a smart catch.

BTW I live about thirty minutes south of the 'G and it's not raining and the sun is out.

Good news!!

The BoM radar looks pretty clear too, after having been a sea of blue and yellow this morning.

Last 10 overs could be a slogfest; Ronchi and Southee still to come.

On recent last 10 rpo efforts, NZ may make 320. Anderson and Elliot have become noted finishers.

Chandimal dropped Anderson where the catch would've been much easier if he'd not tried an extravagant dive.

Elliott is Boparaing this part of the innings... four as I type that.

Now Mendis drops Anderson - absolute sitter. Game might've been lost right there.

Atrocious fielding by Mendis

Slinga finally gets a yorker right, but bowls a no ball!!!

PMSL, loses the wicket and gives away a free hit.

Good show of 330 here.

This Anderson kiddy can tonk it!! Kula is bowling low full tosses!! Dear God.

Lankans will drop their bundle and be all out for 220 in the 40th over.

Kula is bowling absolute tripe.

Mukka would've been very pleased to be offered 331 at the start!! Cracking start to the Gilly by the Sheep.

Wicket off the last ball. Kula shaker wins the moral battle.

A Duckworth-Lewis affected target may still assist Sri Lanka.

However, NZ seems to be in top form, entering this tournament.

bright sunshine at the g. good thing they aren't playing down here this weekend. theyd need wetsuits and snorkels

aye, local games have been washed out

Must be a lot of ticketholders still playing cricket.

Finch gets a life.

Huzzah, no Nein jackasses in the commbox.
