2.35pm And it has been called off.

Cameron: "So what time are we looking at for the call off? Any chance they'll come back on?" --- I am afraid I don't have an answer to the first question but a call-off is not too far away, I feel.

2.00pm It's much brighter right now but rain is still around.

1.35pm Still dark and gloomy out there. No signs of a resumption yet.

1.15pm Rain seems to have relented but there's still a big pool of water on one side of the square.

Admire says: "We have been having a tough drought here in Zimbabwe, we really welcome the rains rather to see this performance from our team."

12.50pm It continues to rain. Covers on. Dark, grey. Some of the water-logging seems to have eased, by which I mean perhaps it has receded. But it's still spitting down. Could be a while before there's some movement. But if you're a fan of the PSL, the drafts for the 2024 season, is happening right now. Join Rvel Zahid on our Live Blog.

BV: "There is no chance another ball even gets bowled today. This rain is here to stay ..."

12.00pm HSC has turned into a swamp. It's dark, gloomy. The rain continues to fall and the covers are firmly on. And yes, we've started losing overs.

11.40am Absolutely hosing down in Harare. So much that you can't see the far end. Puddles of water on the outfield already. Bleak scenes but better weather forecast for the afternoon.

11.23am Still no rain, just dark clouds circling over.

11.14am Massive roar of thunder and a clap of lightning. Umpire Adrian Holdstock doesn't think it's safe enough to continue. The ground staff come rushing in with the covers. There's no rain just yet, but this is seen as a proactive move to ensure the much of the surface and the adjoining areas are covered before the torrential rain hits.

A wide slip is in place

Zimbabwe have scored 36 off the last four overs. Hume back in for a second spell.
