3:20pm Lunch has come and gone, the rain has been falling steadily all the time. The Umpires have had a look at the ground and even if the rain was to stop now, there is no chance of the ground drying out in time for any more play.

So sadly, that's the end of play today and it's officially a no result. 2 points for both sides means that the Munster Reds are the real winners today!

Lets hope that the weather is better on Thursday when we are all down in Cork for the match between the Reds and the Warriors. Until then this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from a very soggy Stormont.

2:10pm The rain is falling down quite heavily here and all the covers are being put back on out in the middle. Forecast doesn't look good for the next few hours either.

2:30pm With the rain still pouring down, the Umpires have decided to have an early lunch now. Let's hope that the weather is better on the other side of the break.

With that the rain starts pelting down and the Umpires take the players off
