India 72-2 (23 Ovs) vs Eng | SCORECARD

The rain is now pelting down at The Oval, with dark skies overhead and the outfield completely soaked.

Full covers are firmly in place as spectators retreat to find shelter. It's a relentless downpour, though the forecast offers some hope of clearing skies later.

Still, even once the rain stops, a significant mopping-up operation will be needed before play can resume.

Here's hoping for a break in the weather and a return to some captivating cricket soon.
