TEAM SPORTSTAR LAST UPDATED: 18 JUNE, 2021 19:39 IST Hello and welcome to Sportstar's coverage of the World Test Championship Final between India and New Zealand at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. 07:30PM: It's been a dampener to start with. Relentless rains have marred the occasion on the first day, but we've still got five days ahead of us with the reserve day coming into effect. In all anticipation of a fine day, we'll meet up soon tomorrow. Until then, good night! Shayan Acharya, Wriddhaayan Bhattacharyya and Ayan Acharya discuss their star players and big match-ups in the #WTCFinal. Scheduled sessions of play on day 2: First session - 3pm to 5pm. Second session - 5.40pm to 7.40pm. Last session - 8pm to 10.30/11.00pm. 98 overs marked to be bowled. 07:18PM: The dreaded moment is here. Play has been officially called off on day one. 07:05PM: Visuals show that slight drizzles have returned to the Bowl. 25 minutes left to the inspection. 06:55PM: The ICC confirms that the reserve day has come into effect. The WTC final will extend to June 23. 06:30PM: We have another inspection in an hour's time. The umpires have had their walk around the field. The umbrellas were down and prodding through the field, some hope there. The day's play could well be decided either way during the 7:30pm update. 06:15PM: Forecasts predict the return of a downpour in about 30 minutes time. But, let's just hope there's a detour up above. At the moment, visuals suggest it is drying up swiftly at the venue. 06:02PM: Brief spell of hope here! There has been no rain for about 30 minutes now and the covers remain on at the centre. The Super-soppers continue to do their job and the massive pelting has just made life difficult for the groundsmen. Few Kiwi players are out on the field and having some fun over the puddles. 5:49 PM: Rain relents in Southampton. Covers coming off. There's that merest sliver of hope. However, the outfield has taken a beating. We are nowhere near having a toss, let alone a start. FOLLOW LIVE: LIVE SOUTHAMPTON WEATHER UPDATES 05:35PM: Just another validation of the situation. Things haven't eased out just yet 05:16PM: Meanwhile in Bristol, the Indian women have been forced to follow-on after bowling out at 231.

However, there is a short window over the next two hours with chances of rain falling to 10 per cent. Time (UK) 12:33 pm (now) 01:00pm 02:00pm 04:00pm Chances of rain 50% 10% 10% 90% 05:00PM: The previous update was agonisingly short-lived. Rains have returned and it's pelting down once again at the Ageas Bowl. 04:50PM: UPDATE: Rain has stopped at Southampton! But.... hold your horses just yet. The outfield is apparently in a massive pool and it would take some time before we could make way for the Toss and the game itself. 04:31PM: A good 30 minutes away from a fresh update. Meanwhile, you can catch the Indian women in Whites in action at Bristol here: India Women vs England Women Test, Day 3 Live Score 04:26PM: The broadcasters have confirmed that a next update from the venue is scheduled at 5:30PM (IST). Is there a glimmer of hope for a start? 04:00PM: Ominious signs persist at Southampton. Nasser Hussain added that it's still soaking wet on the outfield at the Hampshire Bowl and the forecast for the rest of the day does not look good either. It's a quick drying surface but the rain continues to pour down and even the super-soppers have had their fill. 03:44PM: TOP PERFORMERS IN WTC India Batting Ajinkya Rahane: 1,095 runs (matches: 17 matches; highest score: 115, average: 47.25; hundreds: 3; fifties: 6) Rohit Sharma: 1,030 runs (matches: 11; highest score: 212; average: 64.49; hundreds: 4; fifties: 2) Virat Kohli: 877 runs (matches: 14; highest score 254*; average: 43.85; hundreds: 2; fifties: 5) Bowling Ravichandran Ashwin: 67 wickets (matches: 13; best bowling in an innings: 7/71; average: 20.88; five-wicket hauls: 4) Ishant Sharma: 36 wickets (matches: 11, best bowling in an innings: 5/22; average: 17.36, five-wicket hauls: 3) Mohammed Shami: 36 wickets (matches: 10, best bowling in an innings: 5/35; average: 19.77, five-wicket hauls: 1) New Zealand:- Batting Kane Williamson: 817 runs (matches: 9; highest score: 251; average: 58.35; hundreds: 3; fifties: 1) Tom Latham: 680 runs (matches: 11: highest score: 154; average: 40; hundreds: 1; fifties: 5) Bowling Tim Southee: 51 wickets (matches: 10; best bowling in an innings: 5/32; average: 20.66; five-wicket hauls: 3) Kyle Jamieson: 36 wickets (matches: 6, best bowling in an innings: 6/48; average: 13.27; five-wicket hauls: 4; 10-wicket matches: 1) Trent Boult: 34 wickets (matches: 6, best bowling in an innings: 4/28; average: 29.29)
