8:55pm: Match abandoned! A shame given the efforts of the ground staff and players, and endeavour of the fans that remained. A second washout for Spirit at least sees them move off the bottom, where they are replaced by Birmingham Phoenix. Brave move to 6th with a third point.
8:49pm: Big covers on now. Call it already...
8:45pm We need to start play by 9:12pm to get a 25-ball match in. That is unless the umpires deem the conditions unfit and call it off outright even if the rains stop (they haven't)
8:38pm: Oh booo, it's started raining again and they are off again. Could be a terminal downpour, this... no big covers on just yet, but it is drizzling steadily and the umpires are back out there to have a chat with Karl McDermott, the head ground staff here at Lord's
