Richard - The site is espncricinfo.com, the match is being streamed live for free on ESPN3, not sure if its available in UK - but do check and let me know (I'm curious). Yeah - hopefully the rain relents because I may have hard time going back to sleep now. There's supposed to be a dry patch after this band of heavy rain?
