Those clouds look ominous.

Blessing has only bowled 3, we've got to give him a middle overs spell.

And we must get Williams into the attack quickly. At this rate he won't get his full 10.

Good idea captain

Someone in the coaches box must have relayed our message from ZCF.

These clouds look VERY dark now.

its almost guaranteed to rain. That build up now is very ominous.

We really need wickets. With the rain forecast the game may not last the full quarter. Is there an option of skipping lunch?

Yep... Just saw the clouds...

If it rains, is it better for it to happen soon - or after they've completed their 50?

What are the normal DRS rules?
Like if it rains after UAE 45 overs, do they try and get UAE to finish their allotment or is Zim sent in with a revised target?

Wonder if the UAE batters are up for a bribe? This is not rolling out well.

Depends on the amount of rain and the cutoff-time. If time is limited, the officials may declare the first innings curtailed and get on with the second innings

We need to keep this bloke Shaiman on strike. He looks hopeless.

Doubt ZCF has the funds
