6.45pm Unfortunate news, folks, the match has been officially called off. Thanks a lot for your patience, but the rain has refused to relent in Hambantota. It's been raining consistently for almost four hours now and even if it were to stop now, there's enough damage to prevent the game from starting before the cut-off time. So Sri Lanka lead 1-0, and the series will be decided in the final game in Pallekele on March 28. Hopefully the rain stays away then. Sorry it has to end this way here, Sri Lanka had set up an exciting start in those first five overs. Do join us again in three days' time for the next match; let's just hope that's a full 50-over fixture. Thanks for tuning in, and see you again soon. Cheers.
