16:34 (IST) Sep 11

He (Haris Rauf) started feeling his oblique muscle last night. He had a scan and it revealed some inflammation. With the World Cup round the corner, it is precautionary and we'll have to use the other boys to fill the overs. About yesterday, I felt that if we aren't on the money from the get go, we will get taken for runs by the top-order.

16:31 (IST) Sep 11

UPDATE: Big blow for Pakistan. Haris Rauf will not be bowling today as a precautionary measure.

16:24 (IST) Sep 11

I think the outfield is fine, and the pitch is a bit damp and being rolled on. The Pakistani bowlers are warming up in the side nets. Looks clear in the distance as well. All good signs, we might not be too far away from a restart.
