Match State: Delay - Rain
3.50pm There is a strong breeze blowing across the ground, so hopefully the rain will blow through quickly enough. The groundstaff are only covering the middle, let's hope that they are right.
4.15pm The rain keeps falling here, so the groundstaff have started putting more covers in the middle. According to the weather apps, it's not even supposed to be raining now! Modern technology eh?
There is still some time before we start losing overs, and we do need to get another 11 overs in for this match to officially be a game. We could be here for a while....
5.10pm Bad news I'm afraid. It's still raining here and with the cut off time being 6.25pm, there is not chance of the ground being ready in time. What a shame.
Both teams end up with 2 points for the game today. It's just disappointing that we couldn't get a finish in the middle. In truth it's been a soggy couple of days up here in Bready.
Thanks for following along the last couple of the days, fingers crossed that the weather is better when we are at Stormont next week.
Until then this is Justin saying goodbye from a rainy Bready.
steps across the stumps, the ball swings further away and the batter just lets the ball go
Lovely shot from De Freitas. It's a little too full from Hume, and the ball it driven past cover. No stopping that

on the front foot, looking to defend. The ball hits high on the bat and boucnes off towards cover
Warriors will be delighted to have got the breakthrough...
Modgil hits the ball powerfully back down the pitch, Hume gets a hand on the ball and it crashed into the stumps at the other end. Tector had been backing up and can't get his bat back in time, he is run out. What an unlucky way to go.
great diving stop by Melly at Gully. The ball came off the face of the bat as he tried to get his bat out of the way. Melly dived to his left and stop the ball one-handed
back of a length ball, controls the defensive shot well and blocks the ball into the on-side
blocks the ball into the overs, his injured hand came off the bat quickly after hitting that ball
Sawdust is being put out in the middle, it must still be a little greasy out there from the rain that we had earlier. Not a dull moment in this game!
shoulders arms and lets the ball go
hammered back down the ground! Takes advantage of the free hit and picks up another boundary
oversteps once again! Can't get any bat on the delivery, although Modgil is going to have to face another free hit.
