The rains had begun on Tuesday night and never really stopped as the ground was wet throughout the day. The downpour stopped for a brief while at 1 pm local time as the groundsmen started to do their best in making sure the field is ready for play. Basing on this, the toss was slated to be held at 3:30 pm with play to begin 30 minutes later.

But unfortunately, play was called off for the day at 3 pm. As a result, the second day would thus have an extension.
