19:50 local time | Play has been called off! The rain arrived around 4.40 pm and never left after that. The super-soppers were on and off over the past couple of hours but due to relentless rain the match officials have decided to call it a day. Afghanistan did well to post a competitive score of 250 in the first innings and with the kind of bowlers in their armoury they might have defended this total. Anyways, there are three more ODIs to go in this series and the scoreline stands 1-0 in favour of Afghanistan. Join us for the action of third ODI on March 5th (Tuesday) - we've got rain forecast for that particular day too. Hopefully, rain doesn't play a spoilsport, like it did today. That is all for the day. Time to go home and hit the sack early tonight. Goodbye!

19:10 Local time: It's still raining in Dehradun and this match might soon be called off. Even if the rain stop now, it'll take some time to make the ground ready for play. Things don't look promising looking at live pictures.

6:15PM | Inspection Time: Inspection hasn't taken place yet, as per schedule.

18:08 Local Time: The Afghan innings is officially complete. They'll finish at 250/7 after 48.3 overs. We'll let you know about the revised target ASAP.

The umpires are scheduled to inspect the pitch at 6:15PM, for a 6:30PM start.

17:57 Local Time: In fact, another cover has come on, to shield the wicketkeeper's area. It's pelting down in Dehradun. Not sure we're going to have play any time soon.

17:52 Local Time: The rain has ceased. Supersoppers cleaning up the outfield. The covers are still on, though.

Rain is back and so are the covers.

And the covers are off! An attempt to dry the surface out for the last nine balls of the innings before the innings break. Play should resume soon enough.
