Group A: England v Kenya at Canterbury, 18 May 1999

Ball-by-Ball Commentary

       there has been a lot of rain this morning and overnight
       the covers are off, but the ground isn't in the best of condition
       Umpires will have an inspection at 11:45 local time (1045 GMT)

Match State: Match start delayed by wet ground

       the weather is taking a turn for the better here. We should see
        some play altho it's unlikely the match will finish today
       it's been announced the match will start 1215 local time, lunch (?)
        to be taken at 15:45 to 1630, and then the scheduled finishing
        time bumped back to 20:00
       so it's still scheduled as a 50 over match, indeed overs are not
        cut back until the match enters a second day
       so it could happen that they go off for bad light at 7:50pm, and
        then come back tomorrow for the sum total of 1 over

Match State: Match to start at 1115 GMT

       here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a memory
       it's got too heavy, and they're off, hopefully not for the day, but
        the players probably wouldn't complain too much to put an end to
        thsi wet chilly miserable day
       this break in play will mean the match is scheduled to finish
        tomorrow, although it depends on whether England (or Kenya!) need
        that extra amount of time
