9.58pm And the game has been called off. And that means Ireland now have an unassailable 1-0 lead in this three-match series. That's all from our side for tonight. See you tomorrow.
Danish: "An over lost for every 4 minutes means we have now lost 11 overs by 09:53 and West Indies will bat a maximum of 6-7 overs if play were to start right now. This will be tight since they need to bat a further 2.4 overs for it to be constituted a match, right?" -- Yup, that sounds right but at the moment, the rain has returned and the covers are back on.
9.50pm The rain has stopped, the covers are coming off, the Super Sopper is doing its work. It's been that sort of a day. The umpires are having a long chat.
Viraj: "I can see they are now covering even the bowler's run-up. Puddles out there. Winds catching up too. Not looking great."
9.35pm We have an update. Play will resume at 9.45pm. And as soon as I typed that, the rain has returned. Except some more delay. The covers are coming back on again. It's really bucketing down now.
9.22pm The covers are coming off after another short rain intervention. The umpires have had an inspection and are taking to the two captains.
9.09pm And we have another rain delay. The groundstaff are running in with the covers. Remember we will lose further one over for every four minutes of stoppage.
