IND vs SA 5th T20I Live Updates: Rain getting persistent

It seems like the rain is getting heavier over time, which will make it harder for the grounds crew to do their magic and get the field ready for play as quickly as possible. At this rate, the match is almost certainly going to end early.

Live Updates: IND vs SA 5th T20I India 28/2 in 3.3 overs when rain stops play

Lungi Ngidi is into the attack.

Ball 1 Gaikwad runs down the field and hits the ball over the infield, which scores two runs.

Ball 2 Wicket!! Up in the air… and gone! Ngidi’s change of pace has worked again. Gaikwad tries to hit the ball over mid-on, but his bat turns in his hand, and the ball only gets as far as Pretorious at mid-on.

Ball 3 On the pads, India’s captain Rishabh Pant worked it away for a single to get his first run.

And it’s raining again, so the covers are going back on. Since it’s not raining too hard, we should be able to play sooner rather than later. But for now, the players have been told to go back to their dugouts, and the whole field is being covered.

Ball 4! This time, the Indian batter did get in line with the ball. And hit a four by pulling a short-of-length ball to deep mid-wicket.

On the fifth ball, Gaikwad hit it to third base for a single. The Indian opener hit the ball well.

Ball 6 Close, but in the end, a single is not given.
