Umpires have been discussing the situation with both captains, while players from both sides continue warming up.

Observers have noted signs of concern, with the supersopper moving around the ground and officials inspecting multiple spots. Several areas of the field appear to be badly affected, and one section seems to be wet, which has caused the delay.

As of now, there is no official update on the revised start time for the match.
