Play has officially been abandoned for the day!!! Although the rain had stopped and the umpires had come in for the inspection without their umbrellas but it still was pretty dark. The umpires have decided to call off the day. So that's it on Day 3 from Bristol. India Women 231 & 83/1 (f/o) against England Women (396/9 d).

For past one hour, it has continuously rained in Bristol and the chances of resumption of play now are getter thinner and thinner by every minute. The covers are on for good and the players are in their dressing rooms, playing the waiting game.

As the drizzle continues in Bristol, the play has been further delayed and the Tea break extended. More covers are being placed around the pitch.

This start-stop is not what we hoped for. However, India still in troubled waters although Shafali Verma (55*) continues to impress. The umpires have also decided to take the Tea break amid the showers. INDW 83/1 (f/o), trail by 82 runs
